Content warning: blood, serious head injury. A woman was run down and trampled and clubbed by LAPD officers on horseback. She appears to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head as an officer drags her limp body along the pavement.

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

Some sweet moments from this week: a presentation from @bradvetter.bsky.social, time spent in my studio, making bouquets from my front yard, and being in a creek with friends and snacks.

Touching grass in an acid-yellow theme

One quick and instant thing we could do to make #louisville more pedestrian friendly would be to change the crosswalk light functionality. Currently, you have to be waiting at the intersection with the button pressed BEFORE the light changes to get right-of-way. Why not have this be automatic?

Our bug out plan is to meet at Billy Bob’s where we will survive on pepperoni and jelly beans.

Got to check out Don’t Tell Me You Care: A History of Louisville Music Through Flyers at Portal last night, a treat for anyone interested in community archives, xerox art, collage, punk etc. My favorite thing was all of the hand-drawn maps! Some could’ve been as small as 1” when printed.

Repurposing frames. Got this one for $1 from habitat, had to honor Trish Fagan who made this for a friend 31 years ago

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Enjoy me ruining photos of my work because I can’t figure out how to not be in the reflection!

POV: you show up to my show early to vibe with me and my dad.

Seth Tobocman drew this in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina and it remains as pertinent as the day it was made.

Kentucky was fucked before (polluted, gerrymandered, addicted, redlined, and on and on), but we are gonna be SUPER FUCKED.

U.S. forces land on Greenland's coast, spearheaded by units of Cybertanks. they make it three quarters of a mile before the cold weather drains their batteries. crews find themselves trapped inside when the fully electronic doors default to locked. most of the 70th Armored regiment starves to death

First official art show at the studio (aka Friend of Mine) is going to be our pal @smellby.bsky.social!

Maxing out my space and woodworking abilities to complete two big projects by the middle of the month. I do love a challenge but it would be nice if they didn’t always bottleneck!

Three angels and one schlub in the tub! I am always amazed at the volume of garbage at the Falls of the Ohio.

I for one had a very successful Cry January.

We are doing a SMALL DRAW tonight in #louisville for people who need to have a soft place to land for the weekend! 5:30-8pm at shippingport! Next week’s #yalldraw is still on.

2025 energy:

For no particular reason I’m posting these bumper stickers that I sell. 100% of the money gets donated to mutual aid projects and they raised over $900 last year.

Looking for affirmations and distractions everywhere. Sister Corita Kent’s legacy is a masterclass in steeling yourself for the work ahead, or using your work to stabilize you.

Hey! I’m here! IF YOU EVEN CARE.
