I don't think we talk enough about the effect of art on us. I can see one drawing I really really like and I'll be happy for the rest of the day I'm not exaggerating. Your art makes someone feel that way. Your art makes someone happy. Your art helps someone get through the day.

If you're not sure what to do, help the helpers. Federal cuts are harming your local food pantry.
Send them a contribution if you can. A small monthly donation is even better because it's reliable cash flow.

If anything, those are the people who *most* need due process, because those are the people I'd be most likely to treat unfairly despite my best efforts to avoid it. Safeguards against unfair treatment of others are safeguards against unfair treatment of ourselves, too.
If you don’t think that someone you totally disagree with—or even despise—
is entitled to due process, then do you really even believe in due process?

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.
I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.
And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

Extremely garbage and heartbreaking week here in DC. My heart goes out to the families 💔
John Donnelly, the chief of Washington D.C.'s Fire and EMS, told reporters Thursday morning that "we are now at a point where we are switching from a rescue operation to a recovery operation."
Live updates: Authorities believe there are no survivors after a midair crash in Washington, D.C.
A regional jet carrying 64 people collided in midair with a Black Hawk helicopter as the plane was approaching a runway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday night.
