Registration is open for spring classes at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Art Institute, including a workshop by Artist-in-Residence Lucrezia Bieler on the art of papercutting! This beginner-friendly workshop goes through the basics of the tools and techniques used in this intricate medium #SciArt

I will never trust her or Tucker Carlson. It’s too late, too much damage and too convenient for mea culpa’s now.

Seems like it’s probably the easiest choice they have to make if they call themselves Catholic.

I pieced together some fabric scraps and turned it into a fabric art journal with an elastic closure featuring a fabric heart.

Thank you!

So, it is a war then….. 😡

She has a long way to go before I trust her even a bit. She is complicit in his rise to power and as many have said, “It was an open book test.”

Thank you for the repost. ☺️

The President may, of course, engage in his own expressive conduct, including criticizing the views, reporting, or programming of NPR, PBS, or any other news outlet with whom he disagrees. The government may also fund its own speech and may fund government programs that promote specific perspectives on issues of public importance, and it may decide which views or perspectives to convey—and which not to convey—in any such government speech or program. And it may impose limits on federal grants to ensure that they are deployed to further the legitimate purposes of the program and may pick and choose among applicants based on legitimate criteria. But the First Amendment draws a line, which the government may not cross, at efforts to use government power—including the power of the purse—“to punish or suppress disfavored expression” by others.

BREAKING

Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to stop funding NPR and PBS is “unlawful and unenforceable,” a federal judge ruled.
