Acrylic and wax pastel on reclaimed wood (a center board/dagger board for small sailing craft)
A great blue heron stalks his territory, seeking meals of tender frog and fish. Silent as a ripple, sharp as a knife.

„CSU—US’s largest public uni system—went all-in with a $17mill partnership with OpenAI. . .CSU unveiled its grand technological gesture just as it proposed slashing $375mill from its budget. While admin cut ribbons on AI, they were cutting faculty positions, academic programs, student services.“
AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

Don't tell people to quit the arts.
They don't know that's supposed to be a dare to go find their passion and come back once they're not creating from a place of pain, they're just going to quit.

Thanks everyone for your support. In a time where AI and world circumstances are really doing a number on artists, I see so many of you shopping small/indie and reposting mine/others work and sales and it warms my heart. Like I genuinely feel hope about people

I cannot tell you how much joy it brings me to see that now that we've finally ousted Harrell and a string of basically-conservative mayors, The Needling can return to their roots of gloriously local deep cut humor.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy
