I have a rage headache.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Free speech to them has always meant that they can say whatever vile disgusting racist misogynist thing they want with no consequences— but if you make fun of them online they have the right to sue.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

God, what must it feel like to see all the flags flying half mast last week for your kid killed in a school shooting and seeing them half mast this week for a dude who said actually school shootings are "worth it"

Not enough people know that you don't hear about the holes in the ozone layer anymore because an international agreement banning production of chlorofluorocarbons was wildly successful and the ozone has recovered since. Change is possible. None of this is inevitable. We can choose differently.

My pre-ordered copy of the Verdance Tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law arrived in the mail today. It is SO GORGEOUS I am speechless. 😶 #tarotsky

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Oh HELL yes

If you actually have a reasonable budget to hire an artist for your project, TELL THEM IN YOUR INITIAL EMAIL TO THEM. Right off the bat. Here is the project, this is what I can pay, this is the deadline. We get so many time wasters it’s remarkably refreshing when a potential client is upfront

The 2025 Swordtember prompt list is here! ⚔️ #swordtember

Someone posted the other day, “Ready isn’t a feeling, it’s a decision.” I’ve been mulling that over in my head since. As a very stubborn, patient, determined person ♉️, it takes a lot for me to leave a situation and chart a new course but… I’m ready.

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. This is Bill. Won’t you follow sweet old Bill?

Time to install art show: 3-5 hours. Time to take it down: 30 minutes.

@jackparra.bsky.social Welcome!!!

I think I want to try oil painting again. It’s been a long time.

Some afternoon peace by the river. #river #nature #peaceandquiet

improve your drawing skills and you can discover new, exciting ways in which to be mad at the pencil, ways to be furious at a piece of paper that the non artist couldn’t even comprehend.

The Edward Gorey House is pleased to announce the theme of this year’s Annual All-Ages Envelope Art Contest: The Evil Garden - edwardgoreyhouse.org/events/envel...

The number of scam calls I get in a day is insane. I’m on the National Do Not Call registry and it’s done nothing. My phone is permanently on silent. If I recognize your number I will call you back.

People love it

ADHD panoramic view of everything I need to do today is overwhelming. (Mega-cleaning day). The urge to shut down and do nothing is strong. Would you guys be my accountability buddy today?

It’s #blackcatappreciationday ! This is my vanishing phantom Salem. She’s very sweet, but very shy and she disappears into the ether anytime someone comes to visit. But, when she’s feeling brave, she asks her resident hoomins for belly rubs and brushing. 1/2

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. This is my Mogget. I painted this memorial portrait for her after she passed away in 2021. Since then I’ve been painting both magical and memorial portraits for beloved familiars. Just one more service I offer. #witchsky #artsky

Mega cleaning day today. Because I’ve been home from Free Spirit for a week and my house STILL looks like it exploded. I have my hazard gear. Wish me luck. I cannot reach my drafting table and I aim to fix this today.

Small #pieces of the night sky painted on a unicorn birch panel. This is Monoceros, the unicorn constellation! You can see it in February and March in my area, between Orion, Canis Major, and Canis Minor. The moon and constellation in this painting glow in the dark! 💖 #stars #blueskyartshow

Extra staircase in the house? Just go back to sleep. Maybe it'll be gone in the morning

I had a wonderful time at Free Spirit Gathering last week! WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR! This festival has been my home away from home since 2008, though this was my first time back since 2018. If you’ve never been to Free Spirit Gathering, I recommend you try it at least once. #witchsky #pagansky

This is a stained glass window I made back in 2010 of the Mari Llwyd. It’s made of nearly 300 #pieces of hand-cut glass. It’s about 4 ft high and 2 ft wide. It was part of a larger installation, but this is the only piece of the original work I have. I haven’t made glass in awhile. #blueskyartshow

I thought I couldn't love Terry Pratchett more than I already did. I was wrong. 🐄🔔

Came home from a week long Pagan festival on Sunday. Tried to return to work on Tuesday. For one blessed week I forgot how completely shitty morale is at my not-art job. Then crashed back into it completely unshielded. Holy fuckballs did that suck. Trying so hard not to let them drag me back down.

I picked up 15 unicorn-shaped birch panels. I’m having a lot of fun with these. This is the first one. Did you know there’s a unicorn constellation? It’s called Monoceros! The best time to see it where I am is in February and March, between Orion, Canis Major, & Canis Minor. #unicorn #folklorefolks

Yes, 90%. But sometimes I also need to draw what enrages me, what frightens me, and what breaks my heart. It gets the poison out.

I’m at $545 of $10k on my housing fundraiser to avoid homelessness at year's end. Every dollar & repost helps me stay housed. If you can give, thank you; if not, please repost so this reaches someone who can. Grateful for all support. 💛 www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-av...

Just for fun, I’m painting 2x2 inch miniatures, and they glow in the dark! I have 78 of these tiny canvases. These are #’s 1-3, Full Moon, Lightning Bug, and Cat’s Eye.

Finally pulled the plug. I have been meaning to for awhile after the many, MANY other shitty things Etsy has done over the years. Please bear with me as a rebuild my shop over on GoImagine and my portfolio website. It may take me some time. Thanks y’all. #fucketsy #etsy #shop

I made tiny glow in the dark paintings to keep myself occupied while recovering from a concussion last month. No screens-no tv, computer, or phone, & no podcasts or audiobooks. But I was allowed to paint & knit in short bursts. These were fun & comforting to do, & Im making more. 2”x2” Glo Tinies!

@torothhatchling.bsky.social *hug*

Just sharing for other artists, block @sfuokne7yui.bsky.social‬, they're doing the "please draw my pet for my daughter" scam in DMs (NO I didn't fall for it, I blocked as soon as they said that, just sharing the user so people can block in advance)

New booth layout, I’m happy with this one.
