If I was getting paid by the dog picture I'd already be retired to my lake house. 🫠

Bermuda triangle route, just to be sure. 🚀 💥 🎇

I just had a tiny piece of pizza crust to share with Maya. I held the super tiny piece of crust in my lips and Maya took it so gently. Her lips did not touch mine. She is such a paradox. She can be so gentle and sweet but she also might knock you over or punch you in the face.

If you were born between 1957-1968, check with your doctor to see if a measles mumps rubella (MMR) booster is indicated. Apparently the protocol has been updated recently, due to the uptick in measles cases. Got mine and a Daffy Duck Band-Aid. #Thank youForVaccinating

They had Joel Osteen but not Fr. Richard Rohr. 🙄 On the way out I flipped over every trump/vance/melania/musk book on their featured table upfront. Super satisfying. Five stars, definitely recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ B & N is good with their donations, but the Summit store needs help. So I helped. 🏆 🇺🇸 💪🏽

Anybody else reading The God of the Woods? I was honestly relieved that this reviewer said it could be hard to follow on audio. I keep pausing play to say, "WHO?" I finally broke down and looked up a quick character list online. theliterarylifestyle.com/the-god-of-t...

Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

We are living in STOOPID times. Good Lord.

Airport : Young women carrying dog eared books and another with a green potted plant peeking out the top of her bag make me hopeful. Little old man with green wheelie suitcase, green visor and new, green tennis shoes are an antidote to the loud news. We're all still tending our small joys. 🥹 📕🪴

If you deliver three dogs to the vet on a rainy morning you can enjoy running the rest of your errands smelling like an actual wet dog. 🌧️ 🐕 😷 ☹️

The idiocy of America

I just sent this link to a woman who taught my son. Loved her at the time but her recent support for RFK against all logic has been a great disappointment. I'm sure she won't read it or take it to heart. besskalb.substack.com/p/i-interned...

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server. Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

STOP WORKING WITH THE FACISTS! OBSTRUCT ALL OF THEM! DO NOT WORK WITH THEM! ANYTHING OTHER THAN OBSTRUCTION IS ENCOURAGEMENT TO NAZIS!!! This should not be that fucking difficult, just treat them like the enemy they are.

Anybody got Lisbeth Salander's number?

Other than the fact that he's a billionaire and he has one hand down the front of Trump's shorts, why is Elon not being arrested?

Question: are you someone who stirs in the toppings? I offered a family member a bite of my Mexican corn that's covered with some sort of delicious crema, Mexican cheese and Tajin and she STARTED STIRRING IT! I reacted so strongly I startled her. Sorry hon but I want to compose each bite! 😱 🌽 🧀 🫕

Reposting from my own/other account. Anything goes these days. Go wild!

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

So it seems everything up to now has been a sort of "gentleman's agreement." And this is what we get when "gentleman" are in charge of things.

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story

Trump’s tariffs are driving up prices for us, while driving down demand for U.S. exports in Canada and Mexico. This why you don’t trust your country’s economic policies to someone who bankrupted 5 casinos.

Can u hang? 😵‍💫

Woman from Alabama (((and all of her friends who didn't vote for this bullshit))) takes one for the team. Dayum.

It was time for new signs ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️#BLM that poor, bedraggled sign in the second photo has been in our yard since 2020 and it's going in my studio. Love your neighbors, love your friends, Black Lives Matter, love is love, don't be a dick.

Just when you thought I couldn't be more of a pain in the ass I've started a blue sky BH studio page. (((I'm getting whiplash, posting between political outrage and chicken paintings, so here's the painting channel if you'd like to follow along.))) Link in the comments because I'm bad at this.

the definition of a “competent government” is “one you don’t have to think about all the time”

Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.

Didn't sleep well last night, go figure. This nutter aka Maya tried numerous times to wake me because she loves her morning scratchypats. I tried for a photo shoot. Went as well as expected.

Happy Black History Month! America may be facing a SUPER villain, but we are the heroes of our own story.   With resilience, grace, and unapologetic power, we rise. No villain can dim our light—our magic is unstoppable. My story is called Unleashing Black Girl Magic: The Superpower Within!

These doglets, tacos, a Marg and a movie. #Escapism 🌮 🌮 🐕 🐁 🍹

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This bby sold and is headed to Michigan! TY Audrey! 🙏🏽 😊 ✈️ 📦

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

I always thought the antichrist concept was one person, but it seems to be a constellation of people. This week they've blasted a bishop's gentle appeal for empathy, while excusing a billionaire's CLEAR nazi salute. None of this is normal. None of this is acceptable. Rest, recharge, RESIST.

Legitimately disturbing and unacceptable.

Holler if you hear of any way to make a PHOTO ALBUM on this platform. I'm getting whiplash, going from political post to fun painting, back to outrage. I know I can start a separate studio page but I'm juggling as it is. Let's face it, I'm lazy. I'd love to start an album of AVAILABLE WORK etc.

In the beginning (was that sometime last week, Lord) I was following almost everybody back but now I'm like… 👀 🧐 If I can't tell who you are then you better have some 🔥 posts or you may get blocked. Especially if you're a man with zero posts, 13 followers and you follow 387 women. 🧌🙄🙅🏼‍♀️

Does anyone notice how all the headlines about Trump's flagrantly illegal actions and orders simply describe what he's doing, and rarely even mention that it breaks the law? The newspapers and news outlets have given up on the idea that the law even exists, apparently.

OMG. Looking for something else, I found these pictures from when a bby possum came into our house three different times. She hung around and would appear under our deck most evenings for a while and then stopped visiting. It was a magical time for an artist who loves to paint possums 🥹🥹🥹
