Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

My Blood Glitters Like Rubies in the Thrumming Dark, 2025 This piece came to me while I was obsessively photographing pomegranates that had exploded like strange stars on their bare trees. Weird, exquisite jewels rotting on the branch. The world hands us peculiar beauty when we pay attention.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Catherine O’Hara was an actual genius who was currently doing the best work of her entire life, there was obviously so so so much more to see from her. This sucks so bad, but it’s also inarguable that she went out on the top of her game in a way that we can all only pray happens in our own lives

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

"Do you know what the most popular type of art is—a genre so broadly loved that it is collected utterly apart from any market value or popular acclaim? Art made by children. Before art is visually splendid, before it is even articulate, it is valued as a connection to a consciousness in formation."

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

Every artist you know has a fucking reference both in their head and saved in books, objects, photo folders, etc. The sausage isn’t made like that and the experience of being able to take those references and make them into something that makes sense is kind of the whole thing, that’s communication

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by and supported my small business over the weekend. I did my best to check out thoroughly and go outside when I could, and then I had a fantastic market with @mockingbirdlanemarket on Sunday. I'm making a huge push for everything to go out tomorrow!

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪
