I went vegan on January 1st, as part of a resolution for myself. Here are a few meals I've made, plus some soy curl jerky from #butlerfoods. #vegan

I've been trying to stay positive, and it's been hard. I didn't celebrate my birthday, the concert I was going to see for my birthday was cancelled, & I found out my workplace closes Jan. 31. A good thing, I was with my family, and we all went to see my art piece at the Knoxville Museum of Art.

As November looms, states are trying to sort what options they can offer beneficiaries to fill the gap in food assistance. Reporters from the NPR Network are covering the impact of this potential lapse in states across the country.

Hi, some friends and I are working on getting resources together in a readable schedule for anyone who needs food. The doc link itself has locations (in Knox County), and it has start times for each of those locations. As more restaurants participate & help those with SNAP benefits, I'll add them.

Drew another owl! He was set up in one of the local nature parks for a bit only display with other owl art. ❤️ #owls #barnowl #owlart #artists #bskyart

Had fun doing a little crossplay as Temu Tankian yesterday for the soad concert at Soldier Field. #soad #chicago #systemofadown

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

Was granted the opportunity to work at an art show for the renegades in my town. 16x20, "Downward Donny," rushed acrylic piece of two weeks.

Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled. Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

I hate when someone unearths my pube-autograph to the world's most famous pedophile while I'm dying of cankles

If Post Malone gets his tattoos lasered off, that'll be a recession indicator for me.

Call to Action: DC Protest, July 4th. If you are in the DC area we ask for all hands on deck. Gather at 2 PM at Logan Circle, culminating in a march to the White House. #3E #RefuseFascism #NoKings

just found out that allogator alcatraz isn’t just a stupid name but that they’re actually putting alligators around the concentration camp so if people try to escape they’ll get eaten alive by alligators. genuinely deeply evil shit

Maga folks want to cut PBS funding like that's cutting out waste and fraud, but the "bunker buster" bombs sent out on Saturday in Iran cost the U.S. $500 million? 😮‍💨

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Trump has unilaterally conducted illegal strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and therefore started a war between the United States and Iran on behalf of the Israeli government without authorization by the congress, in opposition to the constitution and congressional war powers.

Here is yet another reminder that the Constitution is not optional… Congress must authorize military force before any president—including Trump—launches a strike.

Dressed up as Serj Tankian for my friend's karaoke birthday.

She looks so silly like this 😭

I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

I sent plenty of emails to Tim Burchett, too.

This will start back up in July. I'm so tired.

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Congress is considering clawing back approved public media funding – ripping vital services from our communities. Join me in stopping it. Call Congress now. bit.ly/3T68Qgw

The only time I really feel like "we're cooked" is when I drive around and see every third driver literally watching or scrolling their phones while driving. Not at a red light. While navigating traffic. The addiction is total.

He's so dreamy. 🥰 #bg3Raphael

Republicans on Oversight held a hearing attacking NPR & PBS. Now Trump’s following up by slashing funding for local public media that keep families informed & kids learning. As Vice Ranker, I’m calling it what it is: an assault on truth & accountability.

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

This man is on PBS and NPR right now, after trying to fire board members from CPB on Tuesday. Literally, fighting tooth and nail, just to ensure he can control whatever narrative he wants? Monday was the beginning of rescission talks for funding for PBS and NPR. Ugh.

This tiktok trend is so stupid but I had to do it #bg3 #baldursgate3 #galedekarios #raphaelbg3

I have made a commission sheet for anyone who wants any digital artwork pieces! Just reach out on here or other social media if you want. 💚 #art #artcommissions #artwork #commissionsheet

Hi friends, please consider sending an email through Protect My Public Media. The White House is calling for a rescission of 2025 funding for stations across the U.S. 🥺 #protectmypublicmedia #pbs #npr protectmypublicmedia.org/rsc-emails/

Trump Opens Up Nation’s Aquariums To Commercial Fishing

Juniper's smile. Get this girl on a toothpaste commercial or something

I know folks don't like giving out donations but PBS is a public good, often providing programming many companies are too frightened to. A subscription costs less than your average streaming service and in some cases less you barely watch. Keep em alive.

Good morning. I've been a public radio reporter since 1986. There has never *ever* been a more important year to support your local public radio station. If you care about public radio, get off your ass. Act. Give now. This is how you share in the hard, crucial work we do. 🙏💪

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article
