The Four Sacred Artistic Motives:
-what if this bad thing was good instead
-how about Make-Believe Land can have whatever I want
-would that be fucked up or what
-I think that shit's hot

and sometimes the nightmares that stick in your mind even when you're fully awake are really, really dumb ones.
Rot in Piss, Joe. Thanks for fucking us over for a generation.
No, but, I don't think younger people understand, Lieberman is like *the* reason things didn't get fixed under Obama.
When Democrats had the supermajority in the Senate and could pass whatever they wanted, from enshrining Roe v Wade or getting rid of the Bush-era tax cuts for billionaires and corporations, he's the guy that stopped them.
He's the guy that killed the public option. He's the reason we got a Republican healthcare plan passed under a Democratic President.
This man was one of the driving forces behind the Iraq War, he's the one that spread the lies around WMDs in Iraq which led to millions of deaths. He stuck to that lie as late as 2011. When even Bush people had turned tail years before that.
In addition to that, he was a staunch Zionist to the bitter end, and praised Biden for not "caving" to pressure from the left about the IDF's continuing war crimes in Palestine.
This is the man that put forward legislation that created the Department of Homeland Security.
I'm glad this asshole is dead.
I’m very proud to have presented work from my two latest series, Parakeet Lost and We Try To Fix What We’ve Broken, tonight at the opening of my senior exhibition as a BFA painting and illustration student.
And here’s my big announcement: also on display was a full book that I wrote and illustrated over the past six months (remember when I said there was a reason I was posting less often? meet the reason!). Grasping at Feathers explores the relationship between art and lost birds, through the stories of the people who painted them. I’ll be sharing more about this project in the future—stay tuned!
there's a cherry blossom tree in DC that keeps blooming every year even though it shouldn't and the park service keeps thinking it's dead and then it keeps blooming! well they're removing a lot of trees to rehabilitate the area and they've said it's finally time for stumpy to go and they're going to mulch it and use the mulch to enrich all the other trees so it can help everything else keep going. and they're also going to plant spliced little pieces of it all over so that stumpy can live forever and this is genuinely sending me into a spiral
STUMPY MY BELOVED!!!!
For added context on what rehabilitating the area means: there are structural issues with the Tidal Basin seawall that cause flooding like this independent of rainfall. Big portions of the sidewalk in Stumpy’s section are regularly submerged, which is bad for the land and the trees themselves, not to mention an accessibility issue for visitors.
It’s sad that Stumpy and many other trees in the area will need to be cut down, but it will ensure the continued survival of the other trees in the area, and Stumpy himself will live on in his cuttings!
I believe Stumpy will be taken to the national arboretum and his clones will return to the tidal basin after the rebuilding.
Someone left him a bottle of bourbon as an offering.
The Japanese Embassy came to pay him honor this week.
Stumpy and his cohort are part of the original gift from Japan more than 100 years ago, and many have lived this long bc the National Parks takes care of them. Normally the trees live about 40-50 years.
1. Keep the flexibility in your spine
2. Stretch the muscles in the front
3. Strengthen the muscle in the back
The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down
Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there
If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.
There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving
NOTE: I can do most of these with the cerebral palsy. In fact, a lot of these little exercises are automatically part of my physical therapy. My problem is I already have hyperlordosis, spine arthritis, and cervicogenic headache. These have helped me at least try to have a posture.

I do 128x128 pixel icon commissions for $20
I will need references and the background color you want.
You will be given the icon and a scaled up version of the art.
I am best with birds and cats but can do other species just fine.
I work quickly and in a timely manner so you don't have to wait for your art for long.
Here are some of my favorite examples
Noticed I got some new followers from my pen sketches who might not know I offer these and I cannot find my old post 😵💫
Hello I want to get some hay for the chickens to play with and you know how expensive that is 😵💫
I only have one more commission in my queue, so don't think I'm to busy, I love doing these 😁
Another one!
Another one!
I want pizza! I'm dying of pizza withdrawals!! 🍕
