Honeycrisp Apples! Enjoy my latest seasonal watercolor botanical painting. 🌱 Nature and art are therapy! #yourbrainonart

As we embrace the new Apple AirPods' real time AI translation feature, remember the importance of learning a language (profound and lasting benefits for the brain). The process and struggle of learning benefits us holistically. My 89 year old father speaks 5 languages and is as sharp as a tack!

Painting flowers and spending time in nature brings me joy. What is your current creative outlet? And what would you love to try, and haven’t yet? I’m not solving the world’s problems as I paint, just staying focused and calm. Fear is a weapon. What’s your tool to combat it? 🌱 #echinacea #watercolor

I recommend reading Robin Wall Kimmerer’s new book The Serviceberry while snacking on local berries - I promise you will be inspired! It’s about abundance and reciprocity in the natural world. Studying nature, as Robin does, allows us to understand how all flourishing can be mutual. #theserviceberry

Cherry season - stay vibrant & eat cherries. 🌱 #watercolor

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

South Memphis is choking while Elon Musk’s AI company cuts corners. xAI’s massive supercomputer burns so much energy that local utilities can’t keep up so they installed 35 methane gas turbines right in the heart of a neighborhood already suffering from toxic air.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Another watercolor of cherry blossoms on the branch. Painting is a meditation for me and observing nature gives me access to hope. #watercolor #aquarell #makersmARTch 🌱 #painting #traditionalmedium #watercolour

The staff of the Department of Education are being told to clear out their offices by 6:00 PM. The dumbest people alive are cheering for this. 🤦‍♀️

For those of you in Seattle, I am teaching beginning watercolor on Sunday afternoons at Dabble Seattle. I’m creating a calm, creative community through painting and in person classes for adults. If you are interested visit: lisaadesign.com/workshops-1

Tariffs take farm. Billionaires buy farm cheap. Tariffs go away. Farm worth more again. Billionaires sell farm and make money.

100% Tariffs on Teslas Please. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUMj...

Not to like toot my own horn but *every time* I bring up tariffs on the radio I define them: "tariffs are taxes American businesses pay to import goods from abroad." Given all the lies and the fact that many Americans didn't take international economics 101, I encourage others to do this as well.

Banksy again! 👏

Good morning! 🌱 picked up this branch from my organic nursery a little over a week ago and now it is in full bloom. I’m enjoying the Spring colors. #organicgardening

Banksy

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available? It's literally called Library Extension.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

The trial of an oil company SLAPP suit to literally destroy Greenpeace begins today in N. Dakota. Make no mistake this is the iron fist of petrofascism trying to crush our movements to defend water, climate & Native rights. We must all fight back. Action Link in post below. #ClimateSky

Watched the Netflix documentary about current president. Diagnosis: Desperate for love, connection, attention, deeply insecure, cruel and a sociopath. Copied the tactics of Jesse Ventura, used Twitter to test effective messaging and mob boss lawyers to clear the way. Time to reverse engineer this.
