Anyone else get a random covid test in the mail from the US Dept of Health???

Just noticed this is still up on our fridge. Hasn't been touched since....

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Last night, my husband helped me realize that the reason I may be struggling so much with my shading and highlighting while painting, is because I have been taking it to literally. Got to love autism

Finding red and shading super frustrating today. Maybe its just my mood.

Izzy can't get by Benny... he doesn't seem to care :)

Worked on this a but to long for a practice monochromatic piece. I am loving working with just yellow though.

Working on monochromatic painting.

Ok that made me laugh

What's the point of prescription insurance when you are still paying $400 for medication?? I have to use a discount card just to afford the medication we need.

jamelle is correct

F realistic self portraits when you have body dismorphia

Snow storm expected this weekend. I hope it comes! Nothing calms my soul more in the winter then watching snow fall and cover the earth.

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

I’m Jewish AND Catholic. It’s not ambient. It’s screaming. Heavy metal guilt.

Here's what I ended with. Definitely needs more work but ran out of time.

The AMA has a YouTube page where you can catch up on all the fun, ongoing TB & bird flu outbreaks, since the CDC is no longer allowed to do that: youtube.com/watch?v=HlPB...

The ears!!

Teaching myself to draw. One tutorial at a time!

So like do we do our taxes this year? Or can we copy the president?

Today my therapist asked what I can do to avoid the spiraling that happens from tuning into the current political turmoil. To which I responded with I don't think anyone knows how to do that right now...she nodded in agreement.

Do we just keep living out our normal day to day until they come and get us? Or do we leave like my ancestors did in the 30's.

Just thought someone would want to see my view every night.

Learning shading this week. Nothing hits your ego more than realizing you need a lot of practice. Here is what i have so far....lol #Art101 #shading

This is not normal, or natural, or inevitable. youtu.be/ZfBkw0j-QIs?...

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Today, I learned how to use turtle in Python, and for a short amount of time, I could actually control one thing in my life....

Sometimes, I wish I wasn't educated and could live blissfully unaware of what's happening.

ICE has a check point on Hwy 190 near Albany, Louisiana. Be careful folks.

I gotta get stupider, because I cannot imagine how cool it must be not to worry about all this

Missing the spring weather

I have just enough audacity and delusion to think I can make anything. It might not look great but it’s definitely something that didn’t exist before.

Shower thoughts: Do you all remember when the literal interpretation of democracy falling was scary. I guess I never expected this version.... #showerthoughts #us

Not to get all political on you but actually I do think you should be talking to people you know about this

What's the socially acceptable amount of posts per day?? Oh wait, I've never been socially acceptable...

Priscilla wanted to say hi!

I was talking with a friend the other day about the state of the US. We both shared our fears and inability to control anything, except to stay strong for our kids and protect them. We feel so small in a crisis that is so vast. What have you been doing to feel in control of your world? #usa #anxiety

Just saw ICE on 91 North in West Springfield, MA. I had a visceral gut reaction when I saw them. Massachusetts, please stand your ground and don't let them in. #DEI #Mass #protect

www.reddit.com/r/labrats/s/... I'm hearing research halted by the NIH freeze can't even be communicated or defended?

😬😬😬😬

Taking my first art class at 38 is definitely going to be an experience. But that's what life is all about...right...?
