This holiday season, give the gift of facts: Using a gun for self-defense is not only rare, but it’s ineffective. A new @everytown.bsky.social report shows people who brandish or fire a gun in self-defense are less likely to escape and more likely to get hurt. Learn more: etwn.us/defensive_gun_use

My kid talking about allergy problems- "oh, you want to breathe? In this economy?"

Just added my Mer Fae sticker to my Buy Me a Coffee store! buymeacoffee.com/dclossart/ex...

She is checking it out. She still ran when I took it out, but she came back to check it out.

Painting along with Mallery Jane during the Sketching Retreat.

Why does this #cat take baths on my computer? I was working.

On this day seven years ago, 11 people were killed and six others were wounded when a gunman armed with an AR-15, high-capacity magazines, and three Glock pistols opened fire at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA. It was the deadliest attack on a Jewish community in our nation’s history.

This #cat. My yoga mat has never touched her. She has never touched it. It hasn't done anything to her. She still runs anytime it is brought out. Before it even gets rolled out, she is gone.

Congress has a duty to take action to end the devastating crisis of veterans' suicide. I just sent my message, will you join me? Tell Congress: Save Veterans' Lives >> etwn.us/43mLVlT

In our little red town of #Wyoming we had 65 protesters. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but for our little red town, it was pretty amazing!

This #cat ignores the two water bowls in the house and goes to a freshly showered shower curtain like he has never had water before. He also yells at me when I get near the bathroom to turn the faucet on for him.

Back to school should never mean back to school shootings. This is the devastating reality of America’s gun violence crisis—and it will not end until lawmakers take meaningful action. Text READY to 644-33 to join us in demanding they do just that.

My cat messes with my phone if I have an alarm going off too long. Right now, he is chilling on the couch below my record player that is blaring Queen. #queenfan

We concur with Orlando Mayor Dyer: The Trump administration’s directive to remove the rainbow crosswalk at Orlando’s Pulse memorial was a cruel political act, not a safety measure. This painted tribute honored the 49 lives stolen in the deadliest mass shooting against the LGBTQ+ community. 🧵

@freedcproject.bsky.social is holding a rally to protest Trump’s plans to take federal control of the police department. If you’re in the area and able to join, please do! Follow them on Bluesky to stay updated on future events.

So far, Secret Invasion is my least favorite #Marvel show/movie. However, I cannot deny the similarities to #Animorphs

I love this! @kyotako.bsky.social I read a bunch of Cinderella stories a couple years ago, with my 8 year old. Pretty sure this was among them, but your retelling is THE BEST! youtube.com/shorts/3vg5_...

I added new bookmarks to my shop. Currently only bookmarks, but more is coming. buymeacoffee.com/dclossart/e/...

Guns are the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. Many of these tragedies are unintentional. Be SMART emphasizes that it’s an adult’s responsibility to keep kids from accessing guns, and that every adult can play a role in keeping kids and communities safe.

I know why Pride is in June, but people accept the celebration of Jesus' birth in December. I'm just saying. It was a long hot day today. That's what I'm saying.

There are 7,591 words in the U.S. Constitution. Not one is "bible", "Jesus", "Judeo", "Christian" or "God". Separation of church and state guarantees ALL Americans the right to practice ANY religion. Or none. Which part of "religious freedom" is not as clear as a church bell?

I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. #Pinks

Finally having a Pride event in my town!

My wonderful spouse, who has a birthday today (unrelated, but woot), just tried one of these cherry ricolas. Then he texted me - "you know when Buddy the elf tries the tropical fruit spray? That's me right now."

Have you heard of Athletic Brewing and their non-alcoholic beer? It is better than any I have had and they have many varieties. Check it out. rwrd.io/c3vyt8w?c

My entry in our local art show

""A.I makes art accessible" Beethoven was deaf Stevie Wonder was blind Van Gogh painted stary night in a mental health hospital. Pierre-augustine had arthritis Frida khalo was born with Spina bifida, contracted polio and sustained lifelong injuries from a car accident. I beg to differ.

Securely storing guns in cars isn’t just about protecting personal property—it’s about protecting our communities. When a gun is stolen from a car, that often means a smashed window, a police report, and the hassle (and costs) of repairs. But even worse?

So pretty! So cute!

Got a slip saying money was owed on something sent to us. PO guy said, there is a surcharge because it's non-machinable. I said, what does that mean? He just repeated it. I refuse to feel dumb because I don't work at a PO, how am I supposed to know what that means. Do I still feel dumb?

I opened a shop on buymeacoffee.com It only has a few things right now, but I am hoping to grow it. buymeacoffee.com/dclossart/e/...

Y’all didn’t think we’d allow Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing to take place without Moms in the room? A Trump loyalist who is backed by gun extremist groups, Kash Patel as FBI director would be a clear and dangerous threat to the rule of law.

An important message from our executive director, Angela @FerrellZabala, this #BlackHistoryMonth.

When you steep a tea you don't like with a tea you do like, and it mostly tastes like the tea you don't like. I feel like there should be a metaphor here. 🤷
