A watercolor that I made #art #watercolor #painting #illustration

Gallego pulls his Platner endorsement.

The notion that we Americans must think twice before we make a statement or send an e mail or post a message that is critical of the government begs for ALL OF US to stand up and LOUDLY PROCLAIM our rights and DEMAND APOLOGIES from any government official at any level who questions that right.

Looks like Platner has got to go. Hell! The Dems threw Al Franken out! This is a no-brainier!

A week ago my ancient cat went missing for 24 hours. This might sound like nothing but Freddie Mercury is a) a month shy of 20 and b) NEVER goes missing. He's ALWAYS around. We put notes out for all the neighbours and I accepted that maybe his time had come. Nah, he was just visiting pals.

Trump is a POS and so is overtly racist Stephen Miller. Actually, Miller is scum sucking slime.

This kind of public oral fellatio should be classified as verbal porn, and slapped with a warning label.

Give me 5 minutes alone in a room with Miller and there will be one less Nazi on the planet.

I have two July 4 traditions — sharing E.B. White's 1943 essay “The Meaning of Democracy” and posting Steve Earle singing America's true national anthem, "This Land is Your Land." If you think you know the song, listen to the last two verses. It's like Woody Guthrie wrote it this morning.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, EVERYBODY! Please enjoy our high-tech fireworks display. 😂!

Someone messaged me replying to the photos of my cat and he said "I don't know why but I don't like cats" OKAY GO DISLIKE CATS ELSEWHERE YOU DEBBIE DOWNER smh.

My baby boy, Finnegan, is extremely sick. He isn’t going to make it. I’m with the vet discussing the best course. And… he will be going to sleep. I know you all loved and adored Fin. He will forever be the best baby boy ever. There will never be another cat like him. I love you Fin, I will forever

This photo didn’t turn out the way I wanted but I still really like it. An ant climbing up a sunflower 🌻

First time making a dumpling, I think this pleating came out pretty decent

July The Fourth Be With You!

Make a pledge this 4th of July that you will do all in your power to stop this march toward fascism and work towards the restoration of democracy!

Colours.

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social PLEASE TELL MR TRUMP TO START ACTING LIKE A GROWNUP. PLEASE SHOW CLASS WITH DIGNITY.

LET’S DEMAND THAT MR TRUMP ACT LIKE A GROWN MAN AND STOP SHITTING ON THE DIGNITY OF THE OFFICE, THEREBY MAKING US AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE WORLD. WE DESERVE BETTER AND WE SHOULD START DEMANDING BETTER.

I AGREE!!!

What would John Adams say about today’s state of our union? I think…

In Trump’s neck folds.

so painful to see this many impotent cowards

Patriot Front came out of their moms’ basements, dusted off the Old Navy khakis, put on the white masks so they don’t get fired from their day jobs, and headed to Washington for America’s 250th birthday celebration. Four hundred self-described patriots, not one ounce of bravery.

"Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything." Rainer Maria Rilke.

Donald Trump

Uh, Paul Reubens was an innovative comic genius and Jon Ossof is a capable politician with real integrity. Trump will be dead soon and billions of people will dance in the streets.

Paul Reubens didn't deserve to have his reputation/career ruined over being caught in a porn movie theater years after he stopped playing PeeWee Herman. Now we have a president who was credibly participating in sex trafficking of minors and it's not treated anywhere near the same level of scandal.

Literally sums it up; just add in the immense greed. youtu.be/l3UleEDG9CI

Just had the awful news I have to make a decision about having my dog put to sleep. Life just seems to want to pummel every last drop of strength & will to live out of me, all in one year. He is the goodest and best boy ever

My beautiful little puppy dog was diagnosed with incurable kidney disease. Last night we put her to sleep. 💔

A crimson sun dips low and deep, Where fiery waves and shadows meet. The scarlet sky begins to fade, As night wraps earth in silent shade. #bluesky #love

New York City watercolour by American artist John T. Salminen b.1945, award-winning urban landscape painter.

Our sweet Bean has crossed the rainbow bridge and our hearts are broken. It was a tough decision to let her go, but the last two years have been hard on her with hip dysplasia and bladder cancer and we know we made the right decision. She was such a fun, happy dog and we will miss her terribly. 💔🐾🐾🌈

Peacock spiders are only 4mm long, but their courtship dance rivals any bird of paradise. Australia has over 90 species of these tiny, ultra-colorful performers.

Good thing that isn’t happening with capitalism.

Seven years ago today we took our Barney for his last walk in the park. Not a day has passed since that I haven’t thought of him. Some dogs just never ever leave. You were a good boy, Barney, and we miss you something terrible.

The U.S. has been “way more divided” throughout history than it is now, argues documentarian Ken Burns. “We can't be Chicken Littles sitting around fretting about the sky is falling all the time without ... doing something about it,” he told Dasha Burns on #TheConversation. 🔗 politi.co/4eFwufA

Today is my Cancerversary. 6 years. Still here.

A vibrant oil on canvas painting titled "Fractured Light" by American artist Michele Poirier Mozzone.

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.
