Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.
Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.

I tend to not draw in traditional media unless I'm at a con. I do enjoy it though.

The jaw-dropping Minerva Bowl from the Hildesheim Treasure, a hoard of Roman silver unearthed in 1868 in Germany. In high relief, Athena-Minerva sits on a rock, holding a cane or pedum, wearing her magnificent helmet. Note her little owl on the left. 🦉 🏺 1/

1st c. CE, #AntikensammlungBerlin
📸 me
This gilded silver bowl features a detailed sculptural relief of Minerva (the Roman version of the Greek goddess Athena), who sits on a rock throne and holds a cane in her right hand and a shield in her left hand. The goddess is wearing her battle headgear and flowing robe, and to the left of Minerva's right hand is her symbol, the owl (look closely). The bowl has two handles, each measuring 3.4 centimetres (1.3 in) in length. The bowl itself weighs 2.388 kilograms (5.26 lb), having a 25-centimetre (9.8 in) diameter and 7.1 centimetres (2.8 in) in depth. Her foot is completely sculpted in the round and sticks out over the edge of the inner ring of the bowl, over the broad interior margin, which is decorated in a pattern of engraved palmettes.

I don't think (though I may have forgotten because 2020 - 2021 is a blur) that any of my books have ever made a Best Of list, but THAT DEVIL, AMBITION is on The New York Public Library’s Best Books of 2025 list!!! 🥰

Yesterday was the day. First time I bought some prints from my own artworks, so at least someone is buying them 😂
Prints are the best way to support an artist. I lowered all prices a bit, and some a lot. Posters, art prints, canvas prints, metal prints. 🫶

Is a tiny giant squid not enough for you? How about a giant giant squid??? The photo doesn't quite capture the magical rainbow iridescence of the sealant I used, it's amazing.

A 3d printed giant squid (roughly palm sized) printed in a deep midnight that shifts between black and blue and green, and coated in a rainbow iridescent for that fun sparkle.

Our bodies are ridiculous meatsacks that break in all kinds of unexpected and often unpleasant ways. But sometimes they just keep working as usual, even when they very clearly shouldn't

Thank you for including THAT DEVIL, AMBITION! I can confirm - it features such spooky dark academia classics as crushing student debt and homework without a set deadline or rubric. And also murder.
