Donna Brazile seeing James Carville getting put in the internet dunk tank now bringing up the importance of coalitions makes me smile. I'm going to get proper healthcare soon... finally. :) hehehe. Thanks DSA.🌹💕

For a while I've been having a lot of strange repeating dreams. One is that either I'm thanking #Goddess #Lakshmi or I see someone else #meditating on her. I decided to use the dreams as art inspo and it's made the process enjoyable again instead of just a daily sunk cost fallacy grind. 🪷🥹 Yay!

The Jupiter-Venus conjunction last night. If you missed it, it's going on tonight as well. #astronomy #astrophotography

Some really pretty scenes I got to take pics of at the #BirminghamBotanicalGardens while looking for reference photos for some artwork I'm working on. I don't usually share ref pics I take but these gave me such a serene feeling that I wanted to share it with anyone else who likes to #bloomscroll 🪷

I've got a joke about Baucis and Philemon that'll grow on you

David Ligare (1945) - Landscape for Baucis and Philemon, 1984 Oil on canvas

This was actually fascinating. I learned a lot. An interactive explainer that walks you through exactly how solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, step by step: perthirtysix.com/how-the-heck...

Final thoughts on politics for awhile: Cronus tried to eat his children too. It didn't work out well for him. Similarly characters like Trump, Koch, Pompeo, Thiel etc. ignoring the constitution to force oil dependency are trying to escape their fate and will find in the end it is impossible.

PS - I am aware there is corruption in the Democratic Party as well but come on! Enough with this Jim Jones 2.0 nonsense.

The argument I keep hearing is what's happening isn't what Trump supporters voted for and he's betrayed them. So, Stand up to him like Massie or leave? Quit putting up with the abuse! He's at deaths door anyway. You're going to keep making excuses for a creep who could get knocked down with 1 slap?

I don't want to hear anymore crybully moaning from Trump supporting men about girls more closely screening who they follow back, being selective which platforms we use, leaving dates if we find out they're Trump supporters. The GOP can't even protect women in the GOP. Why should anyone trust them?

I know coalitions are needed to stop the corruption but what conservative men need to understand is actions have consequences. If you keep defending a guy who has made it very clear he has no issues with women being abused then you can't grouse when we do what we have to do to protect ourselves.

I see Massie's loss tonight as a declaration of war on women & children by the 28% of the country still supporting DJT. The amount of $$$ poured into that race to punish Massie for standing up to abusers proves you can't "drain the swamp" via the GOP. It's a cess pool of abusers protecting abusers.

Happy Earth Day. Let's preserve it

A little stamp sketch #PixelArt #ドット絵

If you like hand made art and letters with scented, stylized envelopes then you've scrolled onto the right post. 📬 From now on I'll be logging any art commissions or comics I mail patrons on the #PixPost App as well as cross posting here. 🦋 Details in Alt Text and at: ko-fi.com/chateaudemag...

Tik Tok has been a valuable tool for on the ground citizen reporting so not judging anyone who decides to stay but my active accounts in Feb. will be 1. Blue Sky (Art/Shows/Opinions) 2. Ko-Fi (for Patrons) 3. YouTube (vid uploads 4 Ko-Fi) 4. Pix Post (Travel/Tourism) 5. Twitch (after I learn OBS)

I logged on to Tik Tok today, saw the new Terms of Agreement, hit exit instead of agree and deleted the app for now. My account is on pause until either the Terms of Agreement change or the Trump Admin is no longer around.

This seems pretty cool. 📬💌 I might try it out soon..ish. 🤔 youtu.be/FVuSbAp8K9c?...

I wish there was an app for artists & commissioners similar to Rover's set up for pet owners & sitters. The format is like it was designed to help those of us w ADHD succeed. The way dates are 🟥d on a 🗓️, rewarding rapid responses to inquiries, 1-5 ⭐ reviews, still get 1/2 pay💲if a cancelation etc.

Finally got my this #wip I posted about earlier cleaned up. I saw some other artists doing the #MeettheArtist "About Me" hashtag and thought doing one of my own would make for a great introduction/pinned post. Commission details hot link: ko-fi.com/chateaudemag... 🧸🪷📚 hot link: a.co/d/2VNNotR

I don't want to carry as much anger as I held in the past. The Monks doing the walk for peace have been really inspiring. There's some ppl though who just need to stay far away from me and I will do the same for them.

Everytime DJT does something that escalates conflict or sabotages his own movements supposed goals I can't help but think: This is who some of you sided with over those of us who said "Please don't. We don't want to lose our autonomy." But I was crazy, stuck up and paranoid for being wary of him? 😮‍💨

Day 3 of uploading the finished version of #wip I posted about in December either here or on #kofi (ko-fi.com/chateaudemagie) These are all characters that appear in the #BhaluAdventures Comic Issue #2 I'm working on now with @mystik-rebel.bsky.social and @lightamatch.bsky.social

Day 2 of posting all my finished #wip art from December. In-between working on commissions and comic pages I thought I'd sketch #Alastor from #hazbinhotel for fun. This scene... 😏

Happy New Year! 🎇🎊🎠 Trying to stick to my resolution to upload my finished works now that it's 2026. I'm starting with this #artcommission #artprocess vid from start to finish. It's for a regular at a Metaphysical #coffeeshop we both frequent. (Watch vid for details) 🔽 youtu.be/fWHy9rTdQWM?...
