Mmmm, garlic. Every cook knows the value of using it in dishes for added flavor. But there's much more to it. Fresh bulbs have anti-hypertensive and antimicrobial properties. It acts to lower blood pressure and aids to expel phlegm from the lungs. So eat more garlic! Photo Manfred Richter/pixabay

FYI: Basil is the tasty herb that adds flavor to so many dishes. Medicinally, it aids with digestion and the nervous system, easing gas and relieving nausea. Basil is found to be helpful with anxiety and depression. Fresh leaves stop the pain and itch of insect bites. Photo ulleo/pixbay.com

I used to see lots of book recommendations on here. Where did they go?

Haven't seen much talk on here about Allison Guerriero. Seems like a strange story

Wondering how many times I've read the headline "Trump sparks health concerns".

Doesn't the Bible say something about men, thou shall not use sex enhancing drugs? We should start a movement.

If you're like me, you're not much for hot and spicy. Still, you should be adding cayenne pepper to your diet. It's rich in vits A and C which aids the immune system. It's recommended as a first aid for heart attacks and a tonic to strengthen the heart. Also used topically for joint pain.

When people think of rosemary, they usually associate it with chicken. Did you know that it's also medicinal? Rosemary has antioxidant properties that protect the brain and blood vessels. Also, it improves circulation to the brain. Easy to grow and a handful of sprigs make a mild tasting tea.

With the rising costs of health care, we should be thinking about prevention. Nature provides us with many healthy choices. Did you know that parsley is a medicinal herb? It's high in iron, beta-carotene, and chlorophyll. It helps with immunity and aids the bladder and kidneys.

One of the things I love about Bluesky is that I come here and find out that I'm not the only one (i. e. You read slowly? So do I!)

So, no one likes my #resistanceart Oh well I had fun creating it

I've decided to release my anger and frustration with resistance art "Melting ICE" 3D mixed media 21"x15" #artistonbluesky #mixedmediaart #statementart #resist #resistanceart

It's time for every Democratic lawmaker to loudly declare that the media is Right-wing biased!

I don't like it so, I'm not going to eat it is such a first world thing to say.

Does anyone know if there is a legit organization that is accepting donations for MN?

The people of Minneapolis have shown us that radical love and community are more powerful than masked thugs and guns. Stand in solidarity with Minneapolis on 1/31 by hitting the streets at an ICE Out of Everywhere protest near you. Link in bio.

Couple more "oh nos" for your viewing pleasure. 8x10 Acrylic on canvas panel #artonbluesky #contemporaryart #painting #funart #representalart

I haven't been making art lately because of all the anxiety about everything. To distract myself, I bought one of those random bags of toys from Goodwill and this basket. Thinking I'll call it "Every Girl". #art #artistonbluesky #3dart #portfolio #recycleart #contemporaryart #collage #mixedmedia

Two more paintings from the "oh nos" series. #art #funnyart #contemporaryart #artistsonbluesky

These are from a series I made called the "oh nos". I wanted to depict how we all have these moments regardless of race or gender.

These guys follow me around like I owe them money

I belong to the board of a local art festival in Central Florida. We have been receiving grant money from the state for years. This year, this notice was sent to us. Controlling the arts. It's infuriating.

Going to a doctor's appointment with a few hiccups in a blood test is like opening a fortune cookie and finding there isn't one.

All this Dem leadership bashing is getting tiresome and not helpful. It feels like victim shaming. How about blaming the 90,000,000 who didn't bother to vote.

I think these networks know they are dying and they need a new business model. They need the FCC to do that. It's always a financial decision. That's why they made a big deal about getting rid of the popular liberals first to appease. It's more political theater. Release the files!

Call and ask them WHY?

Kudos to anyone who was able to listen to that voice for three hours

The deranged governor of Florida just erased the rainbow cross walk next to the Pulse memorial. It was painted over late last night. Haven't seen one mention of it in the media.

I know I'm old but, why do so many of these anime women have to look like sexpots?

I predicted all of this years ago after the last census. I knew the white racists would freak out. But, if there's a positive note, it's that change is happening and no amount of cruelty is going to stop it.

A little shameless self promotion I started this blog about making art in a time when AI feels like it's taking over artstudiostuff.com

Just got back from the DMV where I was informed that I didn't have all the right documents for a real id. It'll be interesting to see the statistics in the coming years on how many unlicensed drivers there are. Not to mention how many people won't be able to vote.

Good human, remember: The exhaustion you feel right now? The Resting WTF The Face you walk around with every day? The scalding rage bubbling just beneath the surface? This is all by design. This is intentional. This is the fascists’ master plan. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/these-fcke...

Was in Walmart today and they were making an announcement over the pa system about how they are promoting American made products. So much for lower prices

Not my usual style of painting but, crows are so fascinating and this is foreboding #acrylicpainting #artonbluesky #climatechange

Calling on all scientists to come up with a way to detect children left in hot cars

Two Idaho firefighters were shot to death while battling a mountain fire intentionally set by a sniper to trap them. The MAGA gunman died by suicide.
