I think if you need to be "inspired" by politicians in order to care about your own self-preservation, it might be time to turn off the news and seek counseling.

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

Happy Birthday 🎉, and thank you for hosting ♡♡ This is one of my favorite characters!

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

Oh sure, blame the roommates, that’s gonna get you pretty far (Randy still gets me weed and I like to play his video games and sure he’s a bigot and dumped a big pile of roaches in my bed but the problem is that Joyce can’t fill the exterminator fundraising jar I won’t contribute to).

I’m a lot bigger account than this guy is and he’s gotten enough attention, hence screenshot not quote, but it’s a sad commentary on this benighted website that we see this same dumb unoriginal analogy again and again, and each time it gets like 5K likes and people like “hell yeah brother!”

Nice! Happy b-day, and thanks for the artshare! Hello all. I am a sketcher, trying to capture the strength, love, madness and chaos of the 'reality' I see around me. Some recent sketchy work.

I color portraits for leisure, practice, or for clients, 🎨+💡+🕶️ but I do not draw them. ✏️/✒️❌ I am interested in coloring comics too, so I would be open to hearing pitches.

A very old acrylic painting. Title: "Summer Always Brings Those Flying Pests." Its claim to fame is its appearance on the back cover of the January 1985 issue of Heavy Metal Magazine. #acrylic #painting #wings #fantasyart #blueskyart #art

Happy Birthday, Ian! And Congrats on 5k✨ I used to be a mixed media artist and illustrator (20+ yrs) until i had to medically retire. I have several creative projects going, though. Including my self-portrait photo series on body and identity. Thank you for the space to share🫀✨

Today is my birthday, if anyone needs me (no one will) I will be smoking a birthday joint and getting stomped in Mario kart. Blessings 🤘😶‍🌫️🤘

Still. STILL.

They're rude about it because he did a bunch of illustration, but really it's just gatekeeping. Rockwell worked in oils. He built a giant camera obscura in order to photograph models properly to use as reference. He was brilliant and kind. The only problem is that in mid-century, most genius

Quote with your winged art

If you don’t want Jasmine Crockett to be a senator, don’t vote for her. But we saw y’all blowing her up—until she decides to run for higher office.

Perhaps a hot take, but if you follow me because you like my art and yet you post AI slop, for any reason, I, an actual human artist, will block you so you never see my art again.

So rump wants his OBL moment. We told you to vote for democracy, but nooo. You are racist and demanded perfection from a Black woman. Fix what the phuck you broke.

My gods, the "do something" emoprog tankie bots, who clearly failed both math & civics, sure are dryhumping every elected Dem's posts this morning, aren't they? Almost like it's coordinated. 🤖🤖🤖

We needed to elect a Black Woman. It was real simple.

Kamala Harris would not have illegally bombed a foreign country and kidnapped their leader. All folks had to do was use common sense in the voting booth but apparently that was a bridge too far🤷🏾‍♀️ If you did anything other than vote for Harris you helped get us to today.

it's time to play America's favorite new game, 'what the fuck am I waking up to now'

I voted for Harris. The people who should be ashamed are the group of people who thought it was cool to out that fucker back in office. Also, the idiots who thought it was cool not to vote or vote for a third party candidate. This is on those people. They knew and fucked us anyway.

Ha ha... *Sigh* 😮‍💨

I F*CKING LOVE this song. Always have these guys are amazing. youtube.com/watch?v=aKpg...

This is enlightenment... 🤘🔥❤️🔥🤘

Well, now I'm the Messiah's best friend and bodyguard. I'm too broken to do this job, thanks @theauthorguy.bsky.social 😅 But, on a serious (and silly) note, if you haven't read it you should read Lamb. It's amazing. 🤘🔥❤️🔥🤘

Share a great male villain!

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

Strongly agree. 🤘

"Mercy" When your world falls apart leaving you floating on the remains of your life, when you are stripped bare in front of an apathetic world, there is only one prayer in your heart Mercy

I miss a president who cares for all.

I wish the legacy media would talk about the fact that almost no one under 40 can buy a house, insurance premiums are set to skyrocket, and most Americans are living from paycheck to paycheck instead of *checks notes* the finer feelings of billionaires.

I think you're fucked up in the head and a bad person who isn't capable of understanding things well or being honest about things if you say stuff like "I held my nose to vote for Kamala Harris" when that guy was the one running against her. I don't owe you a conversation. I think you're dumb.

This has been on my daily playlist for several months now. 🤘🔥🤘

You're not lazy. The system is broken. No one should need 3 jobs to live.

Shout out to all the people who said they were not voting for Harris because of Gaza and have been uselessly protesting her and other (BLACK) Dems. Use your brains and redirect your efforts to the 2 people below. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

They've been doing that. Funny, they follow her around the country to protest during her book tour, but don't seem to do the same to the Orange Demon or any Republicans in office, even when those Republicans are in the same city blocks away from her.😒

New experience today. A female starling tried to steal some of the chickens seed and got stuck in the pen. I had to catch her, and gently escort her out. Poor little baby, such a pretty bird up close. Anyway I checked the chickens again and she was trying to get back in so this will happen again 😅

"Bloom where you are planted" I saw this one morning as I was getting ready to go to the art market in Vegas. It snapped me out of my frustration. I was working so hard to create and sell but felt invisible and out of place. This little blossom reminded me how stubborn I am. Never. Give. Up.

QRP with your flower art 🌸🌷🌺
