AP Headline: USDA ends program that helped schools serve food from local farmers

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

The view from my back yard, which looks suspiciously like the Windows XP screensaver

I didn't choose the screensaver life, the screensaver life chose me

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Oh man, that's such a funny pic. 😅

None of the young men I talk to want a quiet girl, they ALL want to be dominated by a smart, sexy woman that brings them joy.

I love the idea of space exploration and how science has advanced this field but I can't bring myself to get excited over a billionaire spending millions of dollars to send a group of celebrities to what is technically "upper sky" for 11 minutes while life saving science is being actively defunded.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is washing dishes as Green approaches from beind. Mildly startled, Blue says nothing as Green kisses him on the back of the head. Turning to look at Green over his shoulders, the foxes look at each other. Green: Wow, you were right all along. The two kiss, properly this time. Green: It is fun to kiss someone's neck when they are doing dishes.

Brilliant sunset.

Oh wow.

A 11" x 14" canvas wrapped with a confetti quilted fiber art piece. The background is shades of medium to dark blue done made with shreds of fabrics freemotion quilted onto a blue fabric. On the lower left side is a cream moon applique. White swirls cross from left to right over the canvas, reaching toward the moon. Stars of various sizes dot the rest of the sky.

Confetti quilt moon and stars piece I did several years ago. I'm trying to am acrylic painting version of this right now. 🧶

there is a place

still undisturbed

where the wind is still

and the air is warm

and every atom
breathes with harmony

and calm

A woodburned piece, tinted with gold and blue watercolor, of a woman submerged in a body of water. golden tears stream down her face and meld into the waters surface.

Sinking, Drowning,

Beach sands as the tide recedes reflect the sunset and clouds above. In the distance we see Haystack Rock, black in shadow against billowy clouds, as it stands tall in the crashing waves of the Pacific coast.

Layers upon layers.
