Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

🌱I forgot to post this beautiful boy who flew out this morning. Godspeed little one.

We went to a lot of great art spaces in Tacoma today. Tacoma Community College's 3rd annual Black Artists Exhibition. Artco Framing and Gallery's Pens Pencils and Pastels opening, with two pieces by @tessato.bsky.social. Finally, Tacoma Art Museum's Echoes of the Floating World opening. 10/10 great

Hey! Its been a minute since my last shop update! Thanks for sitting tight. UuU. I have three new desktop/nightstand organizers available. All hardwood construction from premium Willamette valley walnut. Powerful items to organize in a year where organization is needed. www.galdrecraft.com

Did people always pay their eel-rents? Hell no! In 1250 the abbot of Tupeholm sued the nuns Stykeswald. The nuns owed the abbot a yearly rent of 6 sticks of eels, but hadn't paid for 3 years! That's 450 eels, folks. Scandalous! The nuns agreed to pay a fine, and life went on. 🗃️🧪

What would have been tail risk events are moving into the realm of the probable. Will write more soon in a long-form piece, but it is essential that we have frank conversations. Decreases in childhood vaccination rates beyond a critical level puts ALL newborns and infants at risk. All of them.

My wife is an infectious disease pediatrician. She is very worried about the possibility that HHS will shut down the nation's primary program for vaccinating kids. It funds on the order of half of all vaccinations. (And yes, I know it's congress that is *supposed* to decide on funding, but...) ☠️

Now would be a very good time for every living president and veep to loudly join the resistance.

You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration. Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

I’ve gotten really into actually collecting stickers now that I’ve got these sticker books— kind of a cool little compact gallery of little artworks I’ve collected from my favorite artists.

hi, I'm late to #PortfolioDay. I draw #pixelart of all kinds of subjects in all different styles!

what if trump invades canada, what if the global economy collapses overnight, what if putin invades norfolk, what if seagulls seize control of the nuclear codes. look, im as anxious as the average neurotic academic but this CANNOT be productive nor good for us

Because you are sucking up to the owner of your newspaper?

There is a pristine patch of this wallpaper in the kitchen underneath the old doorbell, The background is actually supposed to be white, but this is very yellowed from being above the stove. I'd love to know more about it.
