Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I don't make New Year's resolutions anymore; I just do my best every day.

REMEMBER: Your "best" can vary. Even if all you did that day was get out of bed, that was the best you could do in that moment.

Change can happen at any time.

Be kind to yourself.

And others.

Just be kind.

#JanuArty Fresh. Fresh ideas. Fresh thoughts. Fresh ways of creating.
I’ve been playing with new approaches to sketching. Boldest part? I’m creating what I want, my way - my fresh approach for 2026.
If it sells. Great. If you like it even better, but what matters most.. does it bring me joy?

I first took a screenshot from a quoted post, and my word was 'sloppy'. So, no change then, huh?

Then I thought 💡 "I should take a screenshot from the original post".

Congress Must Check Executive Power in 2026
Text SIGN POQARM to 50409 — 2025 was a year of rapid and catastrophic expansion of the Executive branch's power. The United States of America was not designed for one person to hold this much governmental power- there are supposed to be checks and balances. A tripod is more stable than a staff, and Congress and the Supreme Court were always meant to check the Preaident's power so we didn't end up with a monarch or a despot. Since Trump has stacked the court with justices who are either beholden to him or who bring their far-right political and religious ideologies into their rulings, one leg of the tripod has retracted. Our Republican-led Congress was notoriously, humiliatingly silent as he expanded his power, often unconstitutionally. Trump has discovered an act is only illegal if someone stops you, and the people who are meant to do that have instead enabled and assisted him in nearly everything he's done over the last year. I call on Congress to remember your constitutional duties, to step up and fulfill your obligation to the citizens who elected you, and rein in his unchecked power so the governmental branches can begin functioning properly again. Please don't let 2026 be a repeat of 2025- I don't believe our way of life will survive another year like this one.

About your feeds It's ok to unfollow. It's easy to create a negative feed. A feed of struggle. But that feed can change how you move thru the world. Check your socials. It's important to stay informed, but create a feed that supports your life, not one that drags you down. Unfollow the unnecessary.

I managed to frame our backyard White-breasted Nuthatch perfectly through the snow-covered branches on Christmas afternoon. Quite happy with this one.

Art round-up 2025 🎨💕 #art

I wasn't as productive with personal art this year since I took on two massive freelance gigs that I've enjoyed, but have also eaten up most of my time.

On the plus side, I've done over 25 illos this year and feel stronger as an artist 💪 I can't wait to return with vigor!

I can't wrap my head around how using AI to undress random women using their clothed image is not considered image-based sexual harassement, and how a social media site whose AI doubles as a nudify app is allowed to carry on as normal.
