When do you remember the first time the US government lied to the American people?

Happy #caturday from sweet Audrey.

Found a very old drawing I made 36 years ago of my handsome cat, Raoul. He was the best! Happy Caturday! #caturday #happycaturday

@nicollewallace.bsky.social chilling how the conversation with @alexwagnerx.bsky.social and @tylermcbrien.bsky.social about the reasons why there has been such muted resistance to Trump -showed the photos hung behind Tyler, blocked out with white paper. Out of fear for his family’s safety?

MAGA logic seems to be that bc of egg prices, we are suffering. So more suffering, like targeting DEI, destroying the auto & construction industries, collapsing the market, & dismantling the constitution is equal suffering as the price of eggs. But that’s the price to pay for things to get better.

I think puppies need bulletproof vests more than she does.

I’ve been working on a series of 40”x40” oil paintings. This was recently finished last fall. I’m in the middle of a new work- many more weeks left to go on that. I’m aiming for a series of 5 or 6 before I start shopping this new work around. Not having to worry about school is liberating.

Wait...what?! lailluminator.com/2025/01/21/l...

Trump is withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization. Here’s the order: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Watching the snow fall. They are fascinated!

I’m an artist who listens to books in my studio. I prefer sci fi, but a lot of current sci fi includes wizards, dragons and “fantasy” characters. It’s as if sci fi authors include these other elements to sell books. Any suggestions? I like Martha Wells, Andy Weir, S.A. Corey, Scalzi (sometimes).

I’m an artist (oil painting). This is a recent 40”x40”’ oil on Dibond. I’m trying to use Threads less, so I thought I’d reintroduce myself on Bluesky. I use social media mainly for politics (Harris Walz 24!), and rarely post anything of my own, but I thought I’d test the waters here.

Posting several paintings I’ve done over the years. I like to work in a variety of styles- mostly large scale and primarily oil- although sometimes mixed media. Just trying to introduce myself on Blue Sky.

This woman carried a baby certain to die to term, and had to tell her 4 year old son his little brother is already dead, and then held a new born as he died. The completely needless grief brought upon this entire family experience is just horrific.

For the few followers I have here, this is an oil painting I just finished. (40”x40”, oil on Dibond panel, inspired by a photo taken by a friend of an old cannery near Bogue Island NC- an area I have visited many times.)
