Illusionist, escape artist and globetrotter. I love my mother.
Well, that didn't last long.
Any non-political people left on bsky?

I hoped bsky would be a refuge from X for artists & less toxic discourse. Alas, I return to a toxic echo chamber. 🫥

Sorry to hear about David Lynch. I worked beside him (same studio) while he was making BLUE VELVET. He answered my questions about his work with grace and honesty. I especially enjoyed his deeply existential comic strip, The Angriest Dog in the World.”

The Soul Nebula as seen from my backyard. Probably one of my favorites out there. It's located in the Cassiopeia constellation about 7,500 light years away from us. Oh and it's a stellar nursery. New baby stars are being born here! :-) Gear: 203/926mm Newton & ASI1600mm Pro #astrophotography #space

Ah...the water torture cell rendered in pencils. One of my favorites! #magician #Houdini #London #legend

Relishing in this misfortune of others will corrupt one's soul.

Better to spend your time on your own goals and pursuits!

I am not one to go on about my own art – but over the past year or so, I truly believe I’ve delivered some of my best work to date. From composition, to execution, the final results are as close to the "image" I see in my head.

a tearful goodbye to the man who saved my life, my oncologist Dr. Anteneh Tesfaye, who left the hospital for a new job. he was so encouraging, never gave me a “time limit,” only goals for me to reach. he was so happy when i went from 120 back to 170 lbs. i’ll miss him so much. he truly saved me.

There are people in prison right now on non-violent cannabis charges while others are getting wealthy selling cannabis legally.

No one should be in jail for weed.

For years, MAGA Republicans have talked about “draining the DC swamp.”

Next year they gain control of the House, Senate, and White House.

Will they move to ban members of Congress from trading stocks or hold the Pentagon accountable for not passing an audit?

Probably not.

The issue with Walmart isn’t DEI, it’s the fact that in nine states alone, Walmart had 14,500 employees on SNAP and 10,350 on Medicaid.

Instead of attacking corporations for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, people should be calling out the low wages.

Jupiter on 11/25 in Bortle 5. Seeing was not ideal as there were light clouds overhead, too. Soupy. C8SE w/ 8mm. Single shot in iPhone. Focuser knob felt a little too “slippy” for my liking. Came out as expected and will use this experience to improve. 🔭

The Astronomy feeds now include 11 (!!!) brand new specific subfeeds! 🔭

The subfeeds try to cover every part of astronomy research with at least one feed.

All subfeeds automatically crosspost to the main Astronomy feed, too!

Here's a thread with links to all of them ⬇️

I agree on the centrist point and frankly there are a lot of people out there who are just saying what they need to say to cover their ass and cash a check. It sucks.

The Cheney thing is a clear example of a bad idea that the people who pushed it won’t take responsibility for. They need to
