Republicans continue to show that all they care about are aesthetics, not real suffering.

I love trying to do the buy nothing thing but everytime someone does the "i want the thing" "ok I can put it out for you to pick up" and then 3 days later its still on my porch and never picked up, it makes me want to never do it again. but I keep doing it because i want things to be reused.

I have committed a crime

I still miss working in this office sometimes. I'd get distracted from my work though because both the people at my work were fascinating and the views were incredible. 8x8 original oil painting on canvas maggiepaintsnprints.etsy.com/listing/1741... #oilpainting #traditionalart #artforsale

I wish i didnt feel intensely weird about marketing my paintings

I would like to figure out how to petition the state of Washington to literally ban using AI for any government shit at all. Good god.

On day 4 of 5 weeks of contractors working in my house to fix some long term issues and im already very over people being in my space lol. This sucks. But im glad shits being fixed. Also i might just die from my dust mite allergy. Whatever.

Sketches from the doctors office waiting room yesterday #sketch #art #waitingroom #pen

Bush: literally creating ICE DHS and this massive surveillance apparatus being used to abuse people today + murdering millions of Iraqis for no reason other than want oil. Booker: yeah i like that guy.

I have a sensor to track my heart rate and It also tries it tracks my sleep but very consistently the only time it ever thinks im in deep sleep is if im reading a book. Its very funny. Anyone else have this problem?

The persistent urge to take a sander to paintings ive done that are just sitting around.

Pepto comes in berry mint chews and i accidentally bought them thinking a tab is fine how much worse could it be and chat i need you to know its like 70% pepto 25% mint 5% berry and it is hard and slow to chew and i think it should be a crime. It did work on my upset tummy still though 😑

Keep it that way

If you have any sort of power at where ever you work to work to get off Salesforce products or contact with sales people etc, call and complain about this asshole.

Bring back the clouds. The sun hurts my eyessssss

I genuinely don't care if someone even just doesn't want to work. Everyone in this country should have a permanent room and facilities available to them. Housing is a right. Homelessness is a failure on our society. period.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Bodies are such bullshit. Between POTS and whatever fucked up shit is wrong with my body in various ways every morning I wake up with my whole body in pain like I had a bender. ITS NOT FAIR. I wonder what its like to wake up refreshed. never happened in my life.

Take home a little piece of North Seattle / Shoreline / Hamlin Park in the summer or gift it to someone who loves it there. #oilpainting #seattle #shoreline #artforsale maggiepaintsnprints.etsy.com/listing/4336...

I struggle a lot with - every time I look at a painting I did I immediately parse it as bad and I really wish I knew how to fix that about myself. Initially ill finish and be like "yeah thats good and feels good" and then my 2nd look after it dries - "god damn this is garbo."

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

I dont trust people who dont like moss. Its so cool and pretty and soft and intricate and delicate and the shades of green are so variable. Absolute feast for the eyes.

@mayorofseattle.bsky.social Thinking about how when I did jury duty for Seattle, I got to hang out on the roof top deck of the city building and its really actually quite beautiful up here. Would be neat if that were publicly open.

Its very sad that my immediate thought on seeing people posting toddler pictures of themselves is "welp thats more fodder for the csam slop machine" the pictures are all sweet and cute but I think the internet is too broken to share things like that online anymore.

Jeffries: dont do this thing that's already illegal and that you are already ignoring the laws around already???? What the fuck is wrong with this dude's brain?

Really good read. Definitely not surprised that means testing is a gigantic waste of money. lpeproject.org/blog/the-mea...

Sometimes i think about how fucked up it is that America requires you to have like different special levels of ID to do various things and its pretty much a requirement to live in society but absolutely not free in any way.

Honestly this is absolutely the kind of shit my dad voted for before he died. It wasnt so much that he was pro authoritarian but mostly that he seemed to take great pleasure in watching other people suffer. Until you've experienced someone with that kind of malice, its hard to imagine it.

I wanted to keep my hands busy for a while and made a thing #sumo #yokozuna #yusho #traditionalart #stamp

Every right wing response is "you shouldn't believe your lying eyes when you watch all the angles of the videos of the various shootings" Shit might have worked before videos and the internet but they only know how to run the stuck in time gestapo playbook.

NEW: Man shot and killed by Border Patrol agents identified as 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti of South Minneapolis - Minnesota Star Tribune

spent a while reworking the background on this painting today and im so much happier with it. From a rhododendron in my yard last summer. im pretty sure anyway. its been a while! #oilpainting #traditionalart #birds #seattle

Only trash people litter. Seriously watched someone throw a cup of sauce out of their car into the grass in front of the elementary school next to me. If i had been closer i'd have picked it up and thrown it at their car.

Take home an original - one of a kind 5x7 watercolor painting of a crow. It is on watercolor grounded masonite and perfect to either be framed as is or leaned on a wall or object unframed. maggiepaintsnprints.etsy.com/listing/1785... #artforsale #crow #birds #seattle #traditionalart #watercolor

I keep having these weird edge of sleep dreams where i feel like im in bed awake and ill see something crawling on the cover that shouldn't. Then i flip out and sometimes start running. Soon as im out of bed or flail im awake. Its unpleasant. And has injured me. What the fuck brain?

Another finished crow. Kind of love painting western red cedar scales. This is a 5x5 on in oil paint. I started using walnut oil based paints a few months ago because linseed was making me sick and i feel like i have a good handle on it now #oilpainting #crow #birds #seattle #traditionalart

I'm LunchMeat and these are my Meatheads. Begun when I was an idiot teen, I return to them in my mid/late 30s as a way of dealing both with the existential horror of the modern world (the cartoony scream and fragmentation of human features) and fighting AI images (by being a mess) More in alt

I've had trouble sleeping my whole life and taken ambien, lunesta, melatonin pills, etc etc etc with nothing really working well for me. twinings sleep+ tea - meanwhile - drink a little cup of tea with some honey and im out like a light in 30 minutes. Shit felt like taking opiates.

This lovely crow painting is available and ready to ship on my etsy. I keep coming back to them. They're so expressive! maggiepaintsnprints.etsy.com/listing/4435... #oilpainting #art #crow #birds #corvid #seattle #handmade #traditionalart
