We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

Yesterday @amanjo.bsky.social posted a picture of a squishy blue cube toy and I decided to paint it. Watercolor and watercolor pencil on mystery paper. #watercolor

Pete Hegseth’s entire personality is “overcompensating for a tiny dick.” But his behavior with regards to the boat bombings is next level pathetic. An analysis, including his personal history. www.salon.com/2025/12/03/p...

Sometimes I don’t know what to draw so I just draw the shoe. Colorverse ink in Schrödinger on mystery paper. #inkallyear

Just a quiet, sad little PSA. If someone is estranged from their parents, please please don’t give them the ‘but they’re your mum/ dad’ They were their mum / dad when they did the worst imaginable things to their own kids. It’s not up to the children to make it ok. It’s up to them to live well.

Luigi Mangione fights to exclude gun, notes as anniversary of UnitedHealthcare CEO killing nears

Another view of my rosy maple moth plush. Working on getting the fluff texture right. Gouache on mystery paper. #gouache #carandache #carandachegouache

Chocodile 🍫🐊 #art

in the US “How do I make rent?” is a question that goes a distant noise to a screaming siren within a single medical emergency

For yesterday’s art I drew a hibiscus. Pelikan Edelstein ink in apricot achat. #inkallyear

Art from two days ago. G found this picture of a cute sloth at the Como Zoo so we both painted them. Here’s mine. Gouache on paper. #Gouache #CarandacheGouache

He’s floppy and likes to be held like a baby. The fluffy tummy is not a trap.

So I have this rosy maple moth plush and yesterday I decided to paint her. Gouache on mystery paper I inherited. #gouache #carandachegouache

idiot guy: i'm like the wolf i'm stalking my prey alone through the forest and being raw as fuck even if i'm in a group i'm the alpha actual wolf: i love my friends so much!!! i love to romp and kiss my bros and work together as a family <3 awooo etc etc have you seen the puppies oh my god come see

For today’s art I decided to try another shoe, my new TMA Eyes boots. I did these in ink, J. Herbin 167, Émeraude de Chivor, and a lovely gouache set I got as a birthday gift. The ink isn’t waterproof, so it changed some of what I was doing. #inkallyear #watercolor #gouache

Yesterday’s art is a very basic watercolor with my little Derwent travel set, which I keep in my bag so I can watercolor any time I like. In practice this mostly means I don’t have to borrow watercolors from my wife if I stay at her house. #watercolor

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they overturned women’s constitutional right to an abortion three years ago

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

Yesterday’s art is a portrait of a friend. I wasn’t able to make the life drawing event they posed for, but my wife took photos. Local drag performer CK in pen and marker. #marker #crayolamarker #supportlocaldrag

Higher gun ownership rates lead to more gun homicides of pregnant women, new study says. @nhassanein.bsky.social @stateline.org kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/18/h...

I give basically no fucks about the "male loneliness epidemic" as it's a straight people problem and women have actual serious problems like inequity, but this is interesting.

It’s my birthday, please show me your cats!

Stop taking madness out of your equation when you talk about homelessness. It's very transparent to us. You have no solidarity with the mad in any aspect of your life & the only way you can feel sorry for a homeless person is if you think they're "normal" like you.

It’s November so inktober is over and I’m back to messing around with whatever. Pen and crayon in a sketchbook.

Yesterday’s watercolor is predictably the shoe from an angle I have not previously explored. Watercolor and pen on mysterious paper I probably inherited. #watercolor

A bridge is a question between two certainties.

Whatever you do today, it's a good day as long as you don't rank Jacob Frey.

The Democratic establishment's ugly reaction to Zohran Mamdani reveals an unpleasant truth. They would rather lose elections than change. The addiction to rich donors and consultants is killing the party. But Mamdani shows a path out. An analysis. www.salon.com/2025/11/03/z...

*yelling at the firing squad before me* My tax dollars pay your salaries!

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

"[R]eproductive punishment." "The aging reproductive body, especially in the form of menstruation, menopause, and post-surgical healing, is not protected within carceral institutions." "Reproductive aging in this context is not simply biological. It is political." #USA #Healthcare #Incarceration

coming off of an article about french towns tilting less toward fascism if the tour de france comes through, one thing reads especially clear from this: in all human interaction, people want to feel important. sometimes that stems the tide of monsters. other times, monsters use that to play you.

Why is TRYING to relax the worst, least-relaxing thing ever?

No inktober for the 17th, I was very busy having a migraine and wasn’t up for it. Today’s inktober is a watercolor of the shoe with this little set of glittery watercolors that G picked me up from Temu. It’s my inktober and I’ll watercolor if I want. #inktober #inktober2025

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Wearing a mask is a million times more fun than living with long covid, I promise.

If there are still people in your social circles who derided you for calling these people Nazis when it was already glaringly obvious (decades ago) drop them with prejudice. Especially if you are marginalized in any way. They are the same people who will give you up to them.

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.

Day 13, more shoe. I got excited about drawing it on its side and then placed it badly on the paper and didn’t have tin for the shadow, oh well. J. Herbin watercolor ink in violet pensée. #inktober #inktober2025

And they are perpetually being recorded doing these things and nothing fucking happens to them.

Inktober day twelve and we’re back to the shoe! What a shoe, I’m fascinated and you’re all stuck looking at whatever fascinates me at any given time. J. Herbin watercolor ink in rouge opera on watercolor paper. #inktober #inktober2025

And this one catches me up to yesterday, which is as good as it gets until I make today’s art. The prompt was “starfish”, this gal is a chocolate chip starfish. Daler-Rowney ink in autumn gold and volcano red, Sennelier pre-filled black brush pen, and a Uniball. #inktober #inktober2025

Inktober! I had a stupid phone issue for a few days so I’m behind on posting but it is resolved now so here we go. This is Daler-Rowney ink in… antelope, I think. I wanted to see if I could shade it like I was using watercolor. #inktober #inktober2025

You'd have thought lying about your evidence should be a major red flag (from here archive.ph/2025.10.06-1...)

The Veterans Affairs Department press secretary directed me to Doug Collins’s comments that “if veterans want to attempt to change their sex, they can do so on their own dime.” These trans vets are trying to do that by getting referrals to non-government doctors. www.advocate.com/news/va-doct...
