Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

GO BIRDS!! 😂

In the morning we visited the Pech Merle cave, and wow… it was incredible. The ancient handprints looked as if they were made yesterday, it’s hard to grasp that someone left them thousands of years ago and that we are able to see it now. That connection through time is truly moving...

This is why it's so important if you're a white guy creative to be explicit in your progressive beliefs. Don't just NOT post this bullshit, you need to actually say progressive things. Because white guys being conservatives is the rule, so you need to distinguish yourself as the exception

Almost Home - this month’s riso print to ring in the fall. Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost “home” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little

my most viral tweet involved kestrels so i drew one #birdart #art

i had to grab the tweet off of insta from some account that reposted it but it was my most popular tweet

If you're sincerely nice, ppl are nice back. It isn't rocket science. Awful people know in their heart of hearts when people are nice to them it's done out of fear, is fake fawning, or they want something you have or can offer. Kindness is always a choice. The world is cruel. We don't have to be.

My family got the green one second-hand when I was in high school!

I've said this many times, but saying "people with autism" is playing directly into this perception because it sounds like something we caught instead of part of who we are. You wouldn't say a person with gayness or a person with maleness. Autism is no different. We are autistic, we don't 'have' it.

Thank you so much Totemic_tattoo (on IG) for making time for us to give me my very first tattoo. He was so knowledgable and kind, giving the best experience I could have hoped for! Both my partner and I are absolutely thrilled 🖤🥹

YOU consent to the scene by deciding to read it. whether the characters do within the fantasy or not is completely irrelevant

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

Did you know Oktoberfest really begins in September? It is FALL and it is time for HARVEST and GOOD VIBES and GEMÜTLICHKEIT (but if nobody books this tattoo flash I will actually cry, I love it so much) 👉 kptats.club #portlandor #pdx

It's that time of the year again.

An interesting bit of behaviour seen at #Birdworld yesterday: this rhea was very deliberately playing with this large feather, repeatedly balancing it on its head, throwing it back there if it fell off, and running about the enclosure in an excited state. #birds #ratites

Just a reminder: The tenth anniversary editions of the original Southern Reach trilogy are still out in the wild, selling well. NYT bestsellers and on a lot of best-of-decade or this century lists. With new intros by Karen Joy Fowler, NK Jemisin, and Helen MacDonald. Buy from you favorite indie.

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

"Reel Around the Sky" and "Reel Around the Sun" I've had dromaeosaurs and ancient life on the brain something FIERCE lately. Coloration and patterning partially inspired by local hawks and the Carolina Wren. #art #dromaeosaur #dinosaur #illustration #paleontology #paleoart

Never forget that it is an active decision by media institutions like the Times and the Post to keep this president’s *severe* mental and moral unfitness out of the headlines and discourse.

My guys Ladies Theydies Sweetie pies and sugar hearts: Censorship is NEVER the fucking answer. Censorship is an authoritarian weapon, a concession to ignorance, fear, and groupthink. To stifle uncomfortable thoughts/feelings/depictions is to stifle the inherent rights of a free human Fuck off.

This is a fascinating time capsule

The first thing one should do anytime someone says they feel more comfortable around Nazis than even moderate leftists is ask yourself what opinions and values they must share with Nazis, because leftists aren’t characterized by bloodlust but Nazis are. So if you feel safe, whats the glue

My most Greatest Generation complaint? More films should end like they did in the 1940s: the minute the action ends, someone says something witty like 'next time, let's take a cab', followed by big orchestral 'dun dunnnnn DUNNNNNNN' and 'THE END'.

I'll say this for everyone. Watch Thelma with grandma. Use it to have a conversation about how this really happens and how it works. Also it is funny AF and shoulda won several Oscars.
