It's no longer just a scandal of widespread human trafficking and pedophilia, it's also a grave threat to national security.
Congress should be having non-stop hearings on this starting yesterday. Prosecute and imprison.

Since you all loved my most recent woodpecker painting (in fairness, it's my best one), I thought you might like to see all the woodpeckers I've painted over the last few years :)

After work, I usually do some personal sewing to wind down. Tonight I did something a little different -- a little kakapo painting! I think I'll keep doing little paintings, this was nice :)

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

The Moon, just one day past full, will occult Leo’s brightest star, Regulus, tonight (2/2). From West Michigan, Leo’s blazing heart suddenly disappears at about 8:45pm EST, only to dramatically reappear at 9:43pm. Make sure to observe the occultation with binoculars or a telescope for a better view.
