Retired. Pretending like I know how to paint. And bake. And garden. At least love trying. Love feeding birds and my dogs Thom and Gracie and cat Emmie and my grandbaby. Believe in leaving everyone and everything better than you found them.

So distracted by the world lately. Glad and thankful there are still some lovely things to be distracted by as well. #art #watercolors #learningtopaint

Emmie. 23 years a kitten. So tired but waited until I got home from vacation so I could say goodbye. We are heartbroken 💔. Em was special and I'll miss her forever. #cats #catlovers #catsofblusky #calicos

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

More relevant than ever. This is why fascists try to censor artists first. This is why we can never stop, give in, or quiet ourselves.

Stay scary, fellow artists~ 😘

This is quite the post.

1. He unambiguously directs his AG to go after those who investigated him for his crimes

2. He admits being influenced by online chatter

He is mob bossing out in the open, because he knows he has corrupted every federal law enforcement agency into submission.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Goodbye Marvel movies, goodbye project runway. No more biofreeze patches, and no more Hulu. If it's a product that advertises on ABC, I won't have it in my house. If it's under the Disney umbrella, it's gone. #Disney #Hulu #ABC #fuckdisney #fuckhulu #fuckabc #fucktrump #firstamendment #freespeech

Had a mom and her three kids stroll through the neighbors yard this afternoon. Decided they didn't want to visit with the dogs so mosied on up the street. That time of year, they seem to be everywhere. #Rockies #nature #Colorado

Sorry no, I'm just a hobbyist.

Can you paint while binge watching all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones? Why yes, it turns out you can! You know nothing, Jon Snow. #art #learningtopaint #watercolors

This is Tuffy. He is the only example of taking up the whole sidewalk that is not only justifiable, but encouraged. 14/10 (IG: mypittuffy)

Struggling a little this week...found myself questioning things and maybe going too far...liking where it had been at twenty minutes ago. #watercolor #art #learningtopaint #hopefulartist
