Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.
Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.
If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.
So must you.
some otter drawings in colored pencil!

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
The most egregious was last week when I was crossing the road and this guy who’s now getting close while I’m midway across instead of slowing down and stopping like you’re supposed to do decides to just try and go around me. I threw my arms up at him like ”seriously?” and he just glared at me.
I live in Massachusetts and drivers over here have gotten grossly impatient and awful.
Even when the crosswalk says to cross, cars turning right on red are still zipping through, heck even when there’s a no turn right on red sign people still do it sometimes.
Photo of a sketchbook on a desk surrounded by paint tubes and brushes. The sketchbook is open, displaying a painting made with gouache. The painting shows a natural landscape with a big tree in springtime on a sunny day. There are white and yellow wildflowers growing in the grass below the tree.

In a rural Vermont county, spotty cell phone coverage is the norm. But a local tinkerer is using old technology to help his community stay connected free of charge.
I have like 2 or 3 boxes of new paints just sitting waiting to be used. Yet I go and buy more.

Several thresher sharks(Pelagic thresher - Alopias pelagicus) swim in the dark sea. Some look surprised, while others smile gently. Sparkling bubbles scatter around them. The atmosphere is peaceful and charming.

Bird perched on a tree branch.
It’s been far too long since I’ve posted anything here. This is an eastern bluebird I made in a watercolor class me and my friend have been taking. Trying to get back into watercolors.
