If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
Yes, Peter decided that the continued existence of our democracies isn't compatible with his desired level of personal freedom.
An absolute enemy of humanity.

Everything he puts out is incredible. His newest album is Cosmic Opera Act 1. It’s… everything. Especially if you’re a Star Wars fan (S.W.M.F.) hehe.
Here’s what’s probably my favorite from the album, but the entire album is truly an experience. Thank you sir. 🙏🏻

Every once in a while, an artist practically becomes a part of my biology. When they release something new, I’m on it like it’s a drug & it’s often precisely what I need in my ears in that very moment.
I found @labrinthmusic.bsky.social in 2019 from “Euphoria” - his score is its own character.

Some of y’all know a core part of my identity is obsessing over music and my need to listen to it pretty much always (autism) and my need to find new music too (adhd). When I come across a song, or better, an album that digs deep and latches on, I grab those reins and hold on tight as long as I can.

Still hoping to move a painting or two. Nashville is a disaster zone and while I’m back in my home with power, I’ve lost almost a week of work. I put my kid and her grandparents in a hotel for 2 nights since they’re still without power, and I desperately need to catch up on work. TY 🙏🏻❤️🔥
It’s me, I’m “artists” 🚨
I’m having an emergency sale because Nashville is a disaster zone after Fern and 100k of us are going on day 5 without power with below freezing temps. I need longer term accommodations for me, my kid, and 2 cats which means raising funds asap.

I’m a giant fucking wimp when it comes to extreme temperatures because of the physical discomfort (amplified by the ‘tism), but I’m quite scrappy and resourceful in a pinch.
Anyway, Nashville, I love you, we’re gonna get through this. If you need resources, reach out, and I’ll help if I can! ❤️🔥

My “Go Bag” was prepared last summer because *pattern recognition* told me it’s a matter of WHEN, not IF, we’ll face a climate related disaster.
I was missing three things I need to add: a large portable solar battery, a camping stove, and a small tent. I used all of our candles & hot hands…

I’m filing a claim with my renter’s insurance for displacement and lost groceries. I’m also keeping an eye out for natural disaster funds for artists, but if y’all see such things pop up, please tag me!
The Nashville community is strong though. We’ve been through floods, tornadoes, and ice storms!

The response from TEMA has been underwhelming and our MAGA governor has beef with Nashville, a very small blue dot in a very red state… which must be why our state of emergency is practically being ignored.
I was lucky to be offered a warm guest room for the kid and myself to stay! Many don’t.

Fingers and toes are crossed that we maintain our power, since recovery is going to take weeks, probably much longer. The kid has already been out of school for a week and I imagine they won’t be back next week either.
My studio is still without power, but I can thankfully work from home!

My power was restored today! I’m so relieved to be back home with my cats, and they’re very happy to be warm!
This week has been really scary. I never imagined “exploding ice trees” being on my 2026 bingo card, but climate change is here and very fucking real.
