House Dems staging a sit in while thousands of people march in the street and scream until their throat bleeds.
Is this the "thoughts and prayers" of action?

Minor pet peeve but a persistent one:
The argument that "time isn't real". So silly. Time is extremely real, both in terms of linear progression (senescence/ half life) and relational proximity to celestial bodies (it's 3pm at X location because the earth is at Y and the sun is at Z).

State of the world has me going back and reading Malatesta again (camaraderie, insurgency)

The last two years have robbed me of a good portion of my joy. That alright. I shall persist. But gosh I wish I could believe myself when I say the future will hold good things.

Year one tattooing: Wow this artist is so good at drawing, how do they come up with these ideas!

Year three tattooing: Wow so many of the designs I love are remastered versions of classic tattoos!

Year five tattooing: A yes, the rose we all use from page 7 of the Google image search.

You should have to surrender your wealth to hold office. You can have it back when you leave. Why do world leaders get paid at all? Why does anyone get paid as a matter of fact. Why can't I do what I say I will and be rewarded with food and housing and medical assistance. Oh wait...

Ugh, see I'm no ludite, but I do think we're using technology wrong. AI is such a powerful, yet resource intensive tool. We should be saving it for things like this, documenting human history, finding solutions to global problems, planning out a sustainable future. Instead it's memes & cheating.

If you were in Congress, what would you do for the State of the Union? What do you think Dems should do?

God what I wouldn't give to see a general and popular boycott extend long enough to actually cripple these fascists.

Anyway, no buying stuff starting tomorrow (2/28) until further notice.

Support your homies instead. Or take up sewing/gardening/crafting.

Analog art for the digital age. I am a self-taught tattooer...well...community taught. No one would give me an apprenticeship so I just tattooed myself and hung out at tattoo shops that would let me sit and draw and watch them tattoo. Being self taught ethics and history were very important to me.

Swing for the fences, kid.

I started tattooing in 2010, then again in 2014, and again in 2019, and in 2021 I started at PMA Tattoo in Pittsburgh, PA. Where I've been the past 4 years with some of the most wonderful, talented, driven, and graceful people I could work with. PMA Tattoo PGH.
