My substack is gonna blow up in #December, I have two articles cooking on separate burners & FOIA requets coming back:
1) Why are Democratic #Governors So Hesitant To Pardon The Obviously #Wrongly-Convicted?
2) Has The Shape of Anti-Drug Funding or the Resulting Arrests Changed Since #Fentanyl?

Thanks for this. 💙

I paint #mandalas on canvas with acrylic and lots of bling...

I also paint indoor/outdoor ornamental boulders and am working on my first barn quilt #commission.

This is the front and back of one I call "Drum Circle."

Hi SignFire, happy to engage with you-that was a lot. Trying to sort out where to start and hoping it can be friendly. I will start with that I was making a general statement about a lot of what I'm seeing--the lumping together of all 45's voters as a homogenous group--not about the specific piece.

Because I can, for now, use my hands to #paint with #acrylics on #canvas, I choose to do that.

But I'm aware of my "ticking clock" & I'm expirimenting with other outlets to prepare.
Other artists, for one reason or another, are blazing full speed into the #future and I'm happy for them too. [4/4]

Take for instance, an #artist, like myself, who has a fine motor skills #disability. The temptation for me to use today's #generative technology as my sole means of creating is very stong indeed and I don't fault any artist who goes there - #disabled or not. [3/4]

That is one thing that CAN be done... and here is another thing. Any city, county or state can employ a version of this ordinance:

This is the solution to EXACTLY that problem... You have to outlaw the shell companies... not the data centers who use them to trick communities into ignoring their best interests...

Then you might appreciate my plan to allow data centers that pay the TRUE cost of operation and give real benefit to their host cities... and not just data centers but EVERY large industrial enterprise:

So trying to use #Claude to #code a #website is aggravating AF when your #finemotorskills #disability prevents you from using a desktop (full size keyboard)... But here's where we're at, presently:

Patton, will you please join me in getting the MN AG to understand that he has to indict the shooter NOW because he's never going to be "invited" to do it at his leisure by Trump?

AND THIS IS THE ACTION PART:
Did you know that Ellison is legally allowed to skip a grand jury and file an indictment right this minute against the ICE shooter? We need to stay focused on him now.

Yes, we need to vote but also we need Ellison to be brave and indict the shooter... without that happening, things will only get worse from here on out:
