A short story in four panels 😆
Stunning! I've never seen a dahlia like that. What amazing coloring!
This butterfly has the blues 🎶 So, more of the glazing technique and this time a bit of shadow. Since that is totally new to me I tapped the expert @schadwen.bsky.social & got some good advice Mei Liang watercolor 140lb cold pressed Artistio pad Brush #6 Micro pen Uni Posca white pen #watercolor
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
But not forever
Awesome! Looking forward to hearing about all your wins 💙
Posting again to keep amplifying this. I think it's super important #epstein #trump
That is simply marvelous
Um, I'm not sure why we are at this point but I guess we have to keep telling these greedy %$@#'s that YOU DON'T STEAL FROM CHILDREN. And frankly if I was on the board of his company I would have serious reservations about his leadership. #drogbruk #piotrszczerek
I'm excited to tell you all that I drew a butterfly! I've been working on them for a bit and I've struggled a great deal. But today I drew and watercolored this one and I'm pleased with it. Practice! Onward! 😃 #watercolor #butterfly
Yup

Sycophants every one
These folks should teach a class in trolling. Brilliant! #trumplies #nokings #nodictators #californiastrong
We love you, Sigi ❤️❤️
Who we are and why we do this.
I love you guys! I've been watching your videos on Imgur but since #medialabs has put AI in charge, it's just not the same. So I'm going to follow you here instead! Happy riding! 🚲😸
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker

Woohoo! Way to go, Marc and team. 🙏
I messed up. The quote is from the book Raymond+Hannah by Stephen Marche
"I declare that the acceptance of poorly transcribed, poorly edited manuscripts from prehistoric tribes to be the word of the universe a folly that should strain the gullibility of a six year old child." - Darryl + Hanna

Love and appreciation to both of you! The current cultural climate is especially hard for women and I applaud your bravery.

In a shocking turn of events (/s) I ended up boycotting Target for so long that I don't need to shop there anymore. That was an ancillary benefit that I did not anticipate. Tell the CEO I said Bye, Felicia.
Here, fixed it.
Woohoo! This jerk is finally gone. His teachings were utterly racist and bigoted. Glad to see him go. He was accused of using his influence to spread "anti-gay propaganda" and was formally designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Good riddance #jamesdobson #LGBTQ #jerk
So my fingers are itching to dial? What did I see, what did I see?? 😳🤣😂

Sure. Go ahead. In 2026 when they are under indictment and mired deeply in criminal cases we will use those planes to go and get our people back.

Hope is what we do when the odds are long and the options limited. It is the stubborn act of trying when despair feels easier. Rather than a passive optimism, hope is the commitment of those who believe they can make a difference, however small. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

On November 4th in California, you will have the power to stand up to Donald Trump. You will have the power to stand up for people. We're going to give the people of this state the power to stand up for democracy.
@governor.ca.gov you have an awesome new ad on X. Can you share that here on Bluesky too?
Quick! Somebody tell him we have an exclusive opportunity just for him. He'll get the Nobel if he makes the deal. Then we can quietly take all that money to start being a functioning country again #gullible
Cool. Why did it evolve to have red lips? It seems like that might be a detriment more than anything else.
Where is the military branch in all of this? Why aren't they speaking up? Maybe they are and I've missed it. If Trump creates the army he's talking about creating, he will use them to fuel his second coup when he loses. Are we prepared for that? #trumplies #washingtondc #militaryoccupation

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

We should have believed him when he told Congress (probably 10 years ago or more) that if they paid him enough he would do anything. Literally. That's what he said.
What I struggle with the most is the enablers. The perpetrator is bad enough. But those that offer cover and solace and even encourage those behaviors they are the worst of the worst.

I was struck by the pang of pensive loneliness I felt in the first split second I looked at this photograph
🕯️🇺🇦 During the combat mission, 39-year-old Maryna Hrytsenko “Mary” — a combat medic of the 3rd OSHB, the chief custodian of the funds of the Chernihiv Art Museum — died. Maryna died on the morning of August 7, 2025, along with two comrades, as a result of an attack by a Russian drone.
I would call this: Taking. Steps. (bitof a nod to Sir Pratchett)

Children cannot give consent. Children cannot give consent. Children cannot give consent. Children cannot give consent. THEY ARE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!
Is it everyone? Are they all pedophiles? Have they literally been working toward these goals for years? What in the world is going on in the US that somehow 13-year-olds can give consent?This is disgusting. Children cannot give their consent. THEY ARE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!
I find it very amusing when I hear people say that a person MUST be a biological male because they're over 6 ft tall. That is asinine! I am 6'1". I am a woman. Heighthas NOTHING to do with gender. Let's get that through our big thick heads, shall we? #transrights www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/05/m...
Words matter. These are concentration camps. No edible food, limited access to water, no due process, just shut away. They hope we will forget them. WE WILL NOT.

Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down. That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.
Grateful to all the first responders working hard to battle the #GiffordFire in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. I’ve been in touch with local officials to make sure they are receiving every resource necessary to aid in containment and recovery efforts.
One of my all time favorite actors. One of a kind. That film pictured (Night of the Hunter) is particularly good. #TCM is doing their #SummerUnderTheStars for August. He didn't get a day this year neither did Shelley Winters (co-star) which is kind of a bummer. But there's always next year.
I'm surprised she wasn't removed. Glad but surprised

Better question might be how many child r*pists are out there that we DON'T know? How pervasive is this in society at large? And what are we going to do to help protect our children from these atrocious people?
