The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

I’m not very active on any platform right now tbh. But having entered the age bracket of feminine invisibility, it’s not likely anyone has noticed 😌

My ex is on this platform, did I mention that? Curiosity sometimes gets the better of me—I look—and then I thank my lucky stars that I got away. JFC, he’s such a drunken, soulless idiot.

Ok, got my art prints back up! Two by @inkedwolfie.bsky.social , one by @artistdaniela.bsky.social , one by Ron Ewenin Wapemoose, and one by Cristian Barreno ♡ Media wall of Awesome Mofos next!

I’d rather be plump and original than bony and derivative.

This is amazing especially during a block!

This is us right now, America

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

A statement I must make:

My ex is on this app. He’s a perm resident of Canada, not a citizen, & now as radicalized an anti-U.S. as I’ve ever seen. Truly an idiot without the critical thinking skills to realize that this was a coup, and most of us are horrified at what’s happening. He blames us all. I’m so glad I dumped him.

Holy fuck!

Oh fuck you Apple

Canadians blaming all Americans for this, are you serious? Do you blame Palestinians for Hamas? Do you blame all Russians for Putin? Do you blame all Afghanis for the Taliban? What do you think of those of us who did the work beyond voting for sanity? I don’t understand this logic and I rebuke it.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

It’s times like these I’m really grateful I never had kids.

Hey @djtraumahawk.bsky.social #BG3 #commission

Night sketch

You just never know what’s going on in other’s lives, do you? Where their heads might be, whether they’re teetering on a tightrope and one insensitive word or ignored sign of trouble might knock them off. I wonder whether living in a world that’s on fire justifies ignoring someone like that.

Why is it that when I close commissions, that’s when people come out of the woodwork and are like “oh and I was JUST ABOUT TO ASK YOU to do something for me…” #stfu

Keep pushing back. Hard. He blinked on tariffs. His California water stunt failed and has been ridiculed. He was forced to roll back cutting grants and govt payments. NSF support is resuming. CDC webpages are being restored. Street protests are starting. Lawsuits are being filed. Fight back.

A photo of the sign in front of the Clackamas United Church of Christ. It's one of those lighted signs where you slide the black capital letters in to make the message. It says: GOD LOVES OUR TRANSGENDER SIBLINGS AS THEY ARE & AS THEY ARE BECOMING ✨

Ok governors follow the coach. Let’s get this done.

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

People. Good: “Your makeup looks so cool/pretty, today!” Better: “I love how you did your eyes, it really brings out the beautiful color/shape!” ALL THE NOPE: “Oh Wow, you look so much better with makeup on!” …jaw-droppingly impolite.

Happy Chinese and Lunar New Year, everyone🐍

Hurrah for Cashapp loans 😅😅😅

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

We have a metric ton of frozen mango from our trees from last year, and I just learned you can make frozen mango ice cream in a food processor and I don’t think I’m going to eat anything else, ever.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Finding it too hard to try and be an online presence, so I’m off for however long it takes to feel better than this.

This is how you do it...

Look for the helpers. ❤️‍🩹

We all know the importance of staying physically healthy but we need to practice keeping our minds in shape. Read books. Educate yourself. Don't ask chatbots to write texts to your loved ones. I promise you, if you don't use your brain, you will lose it.

The internet has become a lonely place. I get the most interaction on Instagram. I thought my relative anonymity would “cancel out” the effect of being an older person in a relatively young societal milieu, but it’s the same type of invisibility. Maybe loneliness is better, in this scary new world.

Sometimes I challenge myself to sketch something quickly in marker, so I can’t erase mistakes.

Gavin Newsom made a website to fight the misinformation about the fires. Give it a read. REPOST gavinnewsom.com/california-f...

The online hubris of thinking EVERYONE wants you. 🙄

Unpopular opinion: regardless what you think of Gene Roddenberry personally, and despite all its hiccups, his overarching view of the future and of humankind was positive. Not so in the productions of Trek after his death. Bureaucracy, corruption, & bleak arc outcomes became the new order of Trek.+

"don't be ashamed of your interests" is good advice, but you gotta understand most people have multiple distinct memories of expressing an interest and immediately being looked at like a very large insect

I truly wish this were a better Twitter alternative, but I have next to no interaction. And I can’t find anyone.
