It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. Shocker, he’s lying—it is Reagan’s real voice.

He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.

We’ve been warning people about Bannon’s “3rd term” chatter for a while. Goes without saying that his “will of the American people” is bullshit. They cheat.

We warned people about their Project 2025 playbook.
P25 is now in full effect.

Believe what they say AND what they do.

Vote #YesOnProp50 🗳️

They don’t GAF about the Constitution, and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep Trump breathing long enough to seize a third term.

So when you start thinking your vote doesn’t matter, remember this: they know it does. That’s why they’re trying to take it from you.

This isn’t going to end well.

Today would have been Ursula K. Le Guin’s 96th birthday. I celebrated by visiting The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin at AA Gallery in London. What a treat! A selection of her maps & drawings. And a beautiful book! Happy birthday @ursulakleguin.com

www.aaschool.ac.uk/publicprogra...

Photo taken inside the exhibition The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin at AA Gallery in London, UK. The wall is painted a vivid blue and the title is on the wall in large shiny silver vinyl letters. On a shelf below there are stacks of the programme and map to the show, also printed in vivid blue and silver. There is also a pile of round stones large pebbles, some etched with Ursula’s drawings and some wrapped in blue cord..

The Word for World exhibition is free to visit in the AA Gallery from 10 October – 6 December 2025, Monday to Saturday, 11am–7pm.

When Ursula K Le Guin was writing a new story, she would begin by drawing a map. The Word for World presents a selectionof these images by the celebrated author, many of which have never been exhibited before, to consider how her imaginary worlds enable us to re-envision our own.

The Word for World exhibition is curated by Sarah Shin and designed by Standard Deviation, with thanks to Theo Downes-Le Guin and the Ursula K Le Guin Foundation.

The exhibition is generously supported by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

Photo of me holding a copy of Ursula K. Le Guin's BOOK OF CATS. My fingers hold the book open on a page that shows an adorable photo of young Ursula crouching down, smiling beside a black cat. Her hair is dark, but she has the same sharp bob haircut that she had later in life.

Behind is a window looking out from the exhibition of UKLG's maps at the AA Gallery, looking onto Bedford Square and large trees in the park.

The exhibition includes a long shelf table with copies of a selection of UKLG’s books for visitors to read.

Sitting on the shelf below the framed drawing are large rounded pebbles, some stacked in little piles and two large ones leaning against the wall. Some of the stones are engraved with Ursula's drawings. The shelf has a decorative frieze below that echoes the standing stones above.

My mother always taught me when I was young that there is always someone better than you at something. I find that’s really taken the pressure off of me as a creative. My life experiences are unique and I bring that into my work. If it’s all relevant it’s all valuable. So I create.

I have yet to see the polycule be anything even remotely resembling “reliable” in this matter. So not true in my case. Still hilarious. 🤣 One can hope.
