Yeah it's blowing my mind that the Republicans' corporate benefactors haven't stopped him yet. The country is committing economic suicide and they're just standing by.

After a year, I've at last finished this painting for SMartschool with tutoring from Cynthia Sheppard. I'm, uh, proud of myself for this one

An illustration of an adventuring party trying to pull their horse from a frozen lake. The human knight attempts to push the horse out, while the elven ranger tries to soothe it. The dwarven wizard tries to pull with magic. Light shines on them in the dark night, highlighting flakes of falling snow.

We need an artsy mid-budget film where one of the characters keeps talking about whether there are chairs or particles arranged chair-wise. Let's just nuke any residual undeserved Continental good will.
