If we stop buying crap, they’ll stop making crap. Desire less. Live more.

I planted about 7 dozen tulips, 2 lbs of garlic, and three peonies, some spinach, and lettuce, and rearranged some perennials.
I was worked for over 7 hours straight, because, damnit, if Dump destroys everything else, I’m going to have some joy in my yard. 🌷✊🏻💙

Happy Halloween!
It’s scary because we used to have snow by Halloween.
Now we have 60° days😱 I don’t know when to plant my tulip bulbs.

After 7 months of terrible tendon pain, I was forced to stop painting and try to heal. I cannot take it anymore. Here is the first painting now that I’m back to it.
‘first peony’
Making art helps my mental health. And, putting some beauty in the world is necessary in these times.

This is the most disturbing thing Dump has done so far.
I’m terribly embarrassed to be an American today.

If you’re not already following @jesscraven101.bsky.social you should. She is informative, inspiring, and gives us the tools we need to fight Dump and his cronies.

I’m resisting through counter actions. Things like this: bsky.app/profile/dere...
Reminder to #BlueCrew: Take small actions. Every. Single. Day.

Today I emailed the #Oregon #DNC State Party chair asking her and the @ordems.bsky.social delegation to vote @benwikler.bsky.social to be our next DNC Chair.

Please use my message as an inspiration to write yours. 💙 We can do this. 👊

We are so fucked.
I don’t see us coming back from this.
I really hope the magats suffer most.

Can I ask my #bluecrew a question?
What are you doing to resist?
Aside from -donating , -boycotting,
-emailing congress.
is there anything else you are doing?
How can we make a bigger impact? I welcome any ideas.
Feeling helpless. And hearing the world ask why we’re letting this happen🫤

Drawing is a good way to find peace. 💙

Geezus. I was just on twatter. They’re nuts.
The trumpers are so far up his ass, they’ll never see the light.

‘we had it all’
I’m sad today that our democracy is in danger.
This drawing is a depiction of ‘us’ in a dying world, reflecting on our long gone, more hopeful days in the rearview mirror.
I feel it all slipping away🥺
