Savannah @pnwpotato.bsky.social · Oct 22

Hi! My name is Savannah. I live in the PNW with my family, and I dabble in a few things! I make mixed media/collage art, music sometimes. I also read a lot, and have been working on a long term project to remove invasive plants from my yard.

Me, white person with a white face mask, tan Hello Kitty Gundam shirt, black athletic pants, and yellow Vans shoes. I'm leaning one hand against a tree stump that's taller than me, and with my other hand giving a thumbs up.

My hand holding a mixed Media artwork with a yellow background. The art is of a plant with large, pointed leaves, sticking out of a white pot with a ripped paper edge.

Photo from my Bandcamp page, "Coniferous Collage" showing an abstract digital artwork of a mountain, trees, river, and sun. It shows my location is Seattle, WA.

A tribe in Arizona planned to connect 600 homes to electricity. Then the funding was cut

The Hopi Tribe received a multimillion-dollar federal grant to install solar panels and battery storage systems for hundreds of homes. But the Trump administration has canceled the funding.

Screenshot of a post by my mutual Fernando, with a photo of the eviction notice it received today. Post reads:

I recieved another $50. Bringing what I currently have up to $600. Btw I wasn't joking about the AZ care's act allowing landlords to kick renters out without a 30 day notice. Please help me I can't become homeless.

Not all suggestions out there that talk about how to get out of a creative slump are all that helpful, but I actually found some of these suggestions to sound kind of fun!

Almost 9 months ago, our press colleague Anas Al-Sharif removed his press vest following the announcement of a ceasefire.

And then we saw what happened next. May we ensure the bombs actually end this time.

I wish he, and so many more, were here with us.

Oof, heavily agree. The idea of going through and either photographing or somehow scanning everything, uploading it onto a website and inputting the information for it all would probably take me weeks.

If you think a game about going after the KKK would be controversial due to the current political climate, it's a good sign you should make a game about going after the KKK.

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke
