Drop something GREEN 💚🟩🟢

Using generative AI for imagery is **directly harmful** to artists, graphic designers, photographers etc. This isn't a vague moral argument: this is just normal, standard theft, except at a completely new scale and social acceptability. We need to reverse that. www.instagram.com/reel/DY2L2-g...

K-2 is close to done. Some decals needs to go down, and a satin coat before final washes. The gray is over a coat of aluminum, and I scratched through the gray for subtle weathering. #histscalemodels

Tiny things from this afternoon's walk

Some snaps from a morning walk around my woods with the pups

Anyone know if and how you can choose to see only original posts but not reposts by a particular account?

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me building a slush fund to pay people who were convicted of seditious conspiracy against the United States, and now the motion to dismiss the indictment of those same people IS giving aid and comfort to the enemy of the US. And if it is, that's treason, no?

I don't need more kits, but I need this kit: #histscalemodels #scalemodels www.super-hobby.com/products/Con...

There's a nesting eagle pair near my office. #birds

I prefer this place to the other one, but I don't have many followers here yet. Help me with the odd share if you like what I do. Ta.

The president forgets that his Supreme Court declared official acts by the President to be nonprosecutable, and this "spying" (if it even exists) would likely qualify as an official act.

Finally! My stuttered timing got it right. Little Wren found some of my birdseed…this was after hopping around collecting it. #birdphotography #wren #classicmono

This is not a plug for patronage. A lot of this collection is free and public. It has artwork of mine and reflections on working in community especially art as activism. www.patreon.com/collection/1...

It's time for a midweek mood check! Use a vid, GIF, or pic to share how you are feeling today 🖤

I might have to pick one of these up: squadron.com/amt1274m/

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Cheers, you ridiculous bunch. Happy weekend!

Botany/Plant/Gardening friends, I need your help settling a question. Is there any tree/shrub that, when run through a wood chipper, will re-grow from the chips?

Eagle, again. #birds

Saw this handsome fellow on my arrival to work. #birds

Progress made on K-2SO. I bought a fancy circle cutter and I’m impressed. I was able to cut a .75mm thick circle and mask off K’s steel collar. A decal is provided for that collar, but I wanted to make things hard on myself. More build pics below

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

NEW: The government tells Americans to use VPNs to protect their privacy. The government also automatically presumes communications of unknown origin are foreign. Foreign communications don't require a warrant to wiretap. Lawmakers who've done the math want answers. My latest @wired.com:

If you see this, quote with a picture of you in glasses. (Y’know…if you wanna)

Read these words in a book about the Battle of the Bulge a few nights ago. They feel relevant.

Taters: You're like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.

This is so well done. 👌

Easter!

Experimentation day in the kitchen. I had pasta shells and black beans. So I tried stuffed shells but Mexican inspired. Black beans, roasted sweet potato, corn, onion. Chipotle tomato sauce. Pepper jack and Monterey Jack cheese.

UC Irvine criminologist Charis E. Kubrin keeps proving that immigration doesn’t increase crime. Why hasn’t her message broken through?

We cannot give this FCC more power than it has. Broadcasters, journalists, and the public should recognize these empty threats for what they are and fight to defend the First Amendment against any attempt to control or intimidate the press. 🧵

There are 175,000 voting precincts in this country. I want people to think about that when you listen to influencers claiming this election can be stolen. Upcoming: a special ResistanceLive show soon where I'll be interviewing an elections and campaign finance lawyer on how you're being misled.

And it’s done! I can not quite believe it yet, it has been so long since I actually finished something 😂 Subconscious I recreated the toilet box art, I originally fell in love with… Anyways enjoy this completely nonsensical happy scene! 😁 #histscalemodels

Hate to do this, but hubby and I have been hit with some incredibly crap news to start 2026 and may shortly be faced with a ton of and upheaval and unexpected expense. Please consider buying a mug or supporting my website if it's ever been any help to you. It all makes a difference. Thank you.

Stormtrooper construction complete. Now I have to figure out how to kill him.

The next build begins. #histscalemodels

So I decided to go to and compete in my very first model show. I entered three dioramas, a motorcycle, and a sci-fi build. I WON THREE GOLD MEDALS!!

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
