Critics said CRT made some people uncomfortable, but the rollback of DEI feels even worse. Dismantling efforts toward inclusion doesn’t just hurt marginalized groups—it creates a society where no one wins. I've never felt so uncomfortable in my skin.

It's gonna be a fishy next four years. So I'm gonna start my week with some fishy paintings. The hardest part of painting catch-and-release fish is keeping them wet! 😆 Grumpy - Acrylic On Canvas #torilart #trout #browntrout #catchandrelease #keepemwet #wildlifeart #flyfishing #art #painting

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

Brr! It's cold outside. Let's warm things up a bit! "Over The Fence" There is a garden in my town that has the most magnificent poppies. I love how they wave in the wind with a beautiful fence as a backdrop. I wonder if the homeowner knows how much I covet their garden?!! #art #fineart #poppies

Wishing you unbounded love, joy, and health for 2025. May the road we travel as a human collective this year be filled with kindness, patience, and compassion. Ps- I'm worried that it will be a bumpy ride.
