Evergreen advice for new artists, remove "Aspiring Artist" or whatever variation out of your bio! Are you making art? Then you're an artist! Life as a creative can be difficult enough as is. Starting off on the path by putting yourself down doesn't help you.

Today is the one year anniversary of feeling my kid kick for the first time. It was particularly impactful because we had been trying for 10 years. It’s a moment and a date that’s burned in my brain.
Now he’s here (8 months old) and he won’t stop playfully kicking everything. It’s great.

Been spending a little less money on dumb shit and a little more on various artists/journalists/podcasters.
Makes me feel like a network CEO putting together my own personal media company. Uplifting stuff, highly recommend going beyond social media to support people!

From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

A bunch of my original drawings are up at the Ledding Library, here in Milwaukie, as part of a community themed art show featuring members of the Milwaukie Arts Committee. They’re all for sale too! If you’re around town I hope you’ll check it out.

it is sad that people move on so fast from halloween, you could look out your window today and see someone being bitten by frankenstein or someone being flung to pieces by a strong muscle witch or some other beautiful halloween moment and no one would even care to listen to you about what you saw.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

I just made applesauce for my baby by steaming a Fuji with some vanilla extract (for 30 minutes) and blending it smooth. It was so delicious I wanted to eat it all myself. Of course I didn’t… but it was very tempting.
