idk this @piericksmith.bsky.social Shawn Kemp art felt right for a Thursday

This every day of the week and sideways!

I always loved this painting @piericksmith.bsky.social created showing Barry Sanders getting away from the dopey defenders with small heads. This feels apropos to now. We gotta cut loose from these dopes in charge.

Ok, we need a progressive billionaire to fund a Democratic ICE or what we can call “DICE”. We get DICE to wear masks to cover their face and show up to disappear these ICE assholes. Where is the justice for the innocent??

Just wanted to share that I know things are hard, but there are pieces of hope to hang onto. If you lean on God, lean into Him harder rn. I have been & it's been a remarkable journey the last 10 mos. Ex: whatever I give away, I get back sometimes 30x over. Kindness & community will get us through.

So can there be a Dem version of ICE that goes around masked and scooping up the actual ICE domestic terrorists??

My 2 Republican Senators have received a combined $600K+ from AIPAC. Oh and my House rep Erin Houchin, has received $23K+. Just absolutely disgusting. We MUST get money out of politics! Justice Roberts has blood on his hands.

Took a WILD hike at Cedar Bluffs. Wow. Super thankful we all made it back in one piece. It was gorgeous though.

I feel like cowardly “desperados” doesn’t quite capture it. Scumbags… assholes… domestic terrorists…

The absolute worst part about Chex Mix is the point when you’ve run out of rye chips. 😩

Ain’t this the truth!!!! It’s so painful living through the rule of these losers.

Would you want a data center in your backyard? This could be reality for folks living in Morgan County, IN! There's a public hearing about it at 6:30 p.m. tonight inside the Morgan County Administration Building. Be there if you want to use your power and voice! www.wrtv.com/news/local-n...

Already getting hit with heavy and meaningful one-liners in @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s “The Last American Road Trip” book. Like this one: “We are an American family, and we are staying that way—no matter what.” 🥺💔

I'd never heard much about the Amish and autism until Trump lied about there being none in these communities, but guess what?? That's FALSE! Because of course it is, that guy NEVER tells the truth! www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...

THIS!!!!! A thousand times over. Dems should be hitting this so hard rn!

This is so f*cked up!!!!! These ICE agents need to be held accountable!

Are we really going to see a dip in autism diagnoses based on pregnant women taking less Tylenol??? Give me a break! What a pathetic NOTHINGBURGER Kennedy and Trump served up to autism families since April.

Your good news for the day! Locals turned out & effectively thwarted a Google data center from getting built on the southside of Indy that would've only created 50 jobs over 5 years while consuming 2-3M (Yes, MILLION!) gallons of water PER DAY. People power in action. www.axios.com/local/indian...

This is just nothing but horseshit. Where are the ACTUAL solutions to HELP autistic people & their families?? Taking leucovorin is not a solution. It only addresses a very small difference for a very small percentage of autistics. This admin is so lame & impotent. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

I was doing a little research on Pierick's art website and saw that someone from Gunzenhausen, Germany visited today! And then I proceeded to go down a rabbit hole about Gunzenhausen. It's pretty fun to say, btw! Here it is on the map. But just wait. 1/2

This is amazing and definitely what you need to end your day with!

It's time to dethrone that orange buffoon! I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Bloomington, IN” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

This tells you everything you need to know: Loyalty is NOT to the United States of America. Loyalty is with the golden buffoon.

We’re cooked if Trump gets his way w/ the Fed. The economy will not survive. Are we just going to be “Russia: Part Deux!?” Trump is purposely wrecking this country. We all heard him say, “I could care less” re: any sort of unifying message. This unpopular loser needs to be impeached & removed!

Just getting pumped for a NEW Randy Moss painting @piericksmith.bsky.social will be creating. Here’s one of my favorites:

Can someone please throw a milkshake or maybe a diet coke while he's in the UK??

Jimmy Kimmel did nothing wrong.

“Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” —Donald Trump, August 2024

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

But, but I can’t believe my eyes! They’ll blame the left for making up these numbers. And unfortunately it hurts their brains too much to critically think about who benefits from so much left/right division.

I was pumped for the Packers game tonight until I found out it’s on NFL Network 🙄 Guess i’ll just imagine this guy kicking arse!

The really shrill flute hold music is probably my least favorite.

I feel like @1goodtern.bsky.social needs royalties from this company solely based on name alonge. From Fortune today: TERN Group, a London, U.K.-based clinical AI workforce platform, raised $24 million in Series A funding.

THIS! It’s appalling and shameful.

Going to distract myself from the crazy by watching the Louisville vs. Texas volleyball match. Right away, I don’t like this camera view. Way too far from the court. I can’t even see jersey numbers it’s so far away. Smdh.

This needs more attention! Senate Republicans are covering for a pedophile.

Prominent folks: Millions stay on Twitter because that's where they hear from you. That includes reporters. YOU are giving Twitter viability and credibility. If YOU leave, the people who want to hear from you will go where you are. YOU are making the choice to keep others on Twitter.

REALLY glad Patel’s FBI is in on the action!! Have complete faith they’ll do an excellent job on this.

LOL! RFK Jr promising answers THIS MONTH about the autism "epidemic" meanwhile Bloomberg's reporting: FDA commissioner Marty Makary said the govt hasn't started writing the report on possible causes of autism but reaffirmed a pledge that it will be released "within a month." What a f*cking joke!

IMPORTANT! Don't let these traitors rip apart natural habitats to build more roads! Leave a comment before midnight, 9/19!! Here's how you can do it, and it takes less than 2 min! backpackinglight.com/dispatches/h...

This story is so f*cked up. As if there isn't already monumental embarrassment about this Administration... now hearing about another military failure makes my stomach churn. It's been covered up for 6 years!! Do we really freaking think this is the only coverup???? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...

You know what’s scary? Is that there are people in our military following that fat, out-of-touch, poor excuse for a human being’s orders. That’s f*cking terrifying. Now go watch the video of Hegseth not answering the question about whether he’d use lethal force against Americans.

STOP THE PRESSES! Just getting the chance to share THE CUTEST baby Monarch caterpillar I have ever seen! You guys!!!! 😍😍😍😍

More people need to read this and then read it again!!!

How am I supposed to work and all I can think about are school shootings, civilians needlessly suffering in Gaza and Ukraine, Sudan, and elsewhere, climate catastrophes, daily expenses going through the roof?????? We're supposed to leave this world a better place, but it's just getting worse. 😩

Just read this in the @forbes.com The Prototype newsletter: "Social media site @bsky.app has become the platform of choice for scientists, according to a new paper, supplanting Twitter/X in the years since Elon Musk’s purchase." Glad I'm on a decentralized platform that other smart people value!

Anyone else want to tell billionaires to "SUCK IT!" on Labor Day? Sign up for an event near you! Now... I just need to come up with a good sign. 😉 www.mobilize.us/mayday/event...

Last August, Pierick wrapped up this insane 24” x 36” painting of Wemby dunking in front of the solar eclipse. 95+ characters appear in the background & many are still relevant today! There’s still a few limited edition posters left if you want one - piericksmith.com/posters/wemb...
