Latest #zentangle First time I felt color was called for. Inspirations included my dice pouch, which holds a couple hundred polyhedral dice, and I find myself playing with perspective and thinking of MC Escher
Zentangle abstract art 
 
The border resembles red fabric with laces loosened to give a view inside. A meandering red pattern that could be braided leather connects the bottom left edge to top right. In the background, a doughnut shape at top right has shiny black ribbons draped all around it, and they seem to become liquid and flow down to the bottom of the tile and off the edge. Some empty spaces are filled with floral shapes or balls with a stripe of texture along them, and in the foreground where the ribbons have gone liquid, there is a shell-like object and dandelion-like trees

Zentangle that overall resembles a Seussian landscape filled in with abstract patterns Zentangle of abstract patterns. Several are geometric and evoke depth and spaciousness, while others evoke movement, such as one which looks like a ribbon laced along two edges of the design Zentangle of abstract patterns:
A sea-anenome-like cluster of tentacles at upper right weaves into a braidlike border, and morphs into an arching grid pattern for the background. Over this background are leaflike patterns

A few months ago, I realized I couldn't keep reading about current events and making calls to Congress/local officials without investing time in stress reduction. So I started carving out time for art. A few weeks ago, I discovered #zentangle, and I am *loving* it! I've done six pieces so far.
Zentangle of various abstract patterns:
A curving grid of boxes, dangling vines over a background of small circles, a lattice reminiscent of a pie, and a climbing leafy vineZentangle of abstract patterns:
A ropy, banded border around a cluster of spiraling shapes, which floats above a background of orbs among wavy lines that evoke ripplesZentangle of abstract patterns which overall resemble a woven planter with leaves and sprouts

A graph dated 11/18/25 showing Home Depot's stock dropping nearly 8% in the past 5 days. Below it, Kermit the Frog sips tea, with a caption that reads, "That's what you get when you work with ICE to deport construction workers"

Deport here means to kidnap and imprison under inhumane, illegal, torturous conditions, traumatizing them, their families, and their communities.

47 waving in the top half, an alligator waving in the bottom half.

Top: Seeya Later Alligator!
Bottom: At Your Trial Pedophile! Pic shows a list of some of the settlements 47 has paid. I'll list them in this format: age, gender, allegation, settlement amount (in millions), year

10-yr-old boy, oral rape, $3m, 1992

10-yr-old girl, forced intercourse, $1m, 1989

11-yr-old boy, oral and anal, $3m, 1994

13-yr-old girl, intercourse & oral, $5m, 2012

12-yr-old girl, forcible intercourse, $16m 1993

11-yr-old boy, anal rape, unknown amount, 1998An image of 47 cry to an image of teen beauty pageant contestant, with the following quote from his Howard Stem interview:

"I'll tell you the funniest thing. I'll go backstage before a Miss Teen USA show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything and no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it. You know, I'm inspecting. The girls (14 - 16) are standing there with no clothes on. And you see these incredible looking women (teens), and so, I sort of get away with things like that."

Mind you, MVP Harris knew exactly what sort of criticisms would be flying her way when she said that for now, she doesn't want to go back inside the system. She spoke her truth anyway. She has more courage and sense than any of these assholes trying to say what she "should" be doing. FOH with that!

Look at how her eyes shine with joy 🥰 (yes I editorialized in the alt text 😝)
Kamala Harris after becoming VP-elect in 2020, holding hands with her nieces, her eyes beautifully expressing her joy. The little girls are in matching white lace dresses and tights, wearing white shoes with black laces and white masks, while their Auntie Kamala is in a white suit and a black mask.

The three of them in white is a tribute to the suffragists who fought for women to be able to vote, as this woman who should have been our 47th president would have fought for all our rights. She would have brought this country closer to the ideals it has always paid lip service to but seldom embodied.

Paramount+ gives you a one week free trial. Get it to watch the South Park episode. And when you sign up, they ask you to choose shows they can use to recommend content. Choose Steven Colbert. Then cancel before seven days so they don't get your money. And when they ask you in the form why you're canceling, write in "I fixed to cancel bootlicking companies that capitulate to fascists and stifle free speech for financial reasons."

Some of the imaging from a 2024 article in Cell Host & Microbe doi.org/10.1016/j.ch...
Screenshot of a reddit post with pictures of imaging in mice from the journal Cell Host & Microbe, with areas infected with SARS-CoV-2 (left) or influenza H1N1 (right) shown in red. 

On the left, a mouse with COVID-19 has red in nearly its entire body, with very intense red in the kidneys, intense red in head, heart and intestines, less intense red in lungs and one foreleg, and trace amounts of red throughout the rest of its musculature.

On the right, a mouse with H1N1 flu shows in its lungs a less intense red with a few small concentrations of intense red, isolated spots of trace amounts of red here and there in its body, and no areas of very intense red. 

Text visible in the post:

Mice infected with covid (left) and flu (right) 
Spike S1 (N501Y) 
HA (Influenza H1N1) 

Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii /S1931312824004384 Figure 2 

HA = hemagglutinin, the influenza H1N1 surface protein approximately equivalent to the sars-cov2 spike protein 

Bottom line: Covid is a multi-system disease not only a respiratory disease. That's why long covid can be so varied causing at least 200 possible symptoms.

Importantly, CTSL is not only essential for SARS-CoV-2 but also plays a key role in the entry of other corona viruses that utilize similar pathways. Therefore, EHMT2 inhibitors could have broader applications as pan-coronavirus therapeutic agents.

What can I add that has not already been said? [A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all 'suckers' because 'there is nothing in it for them.'] A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputee because 'it doesn't look good for me.' A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star Family - for  all Gold Star families - on TV during the 2016 campaign, and [rants that our  most precious heroes who gave their lives in America's defense are 'losers' and wouldn't visit their graves in France.]

Among other topics ordered to be struck from the reports:

- Involuntary or coercive medical or psychological practices. [this bullet point marked with red] 

- Arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy. 

- Serious restrictions to internet freedom. 

- Extensive gender-based violence.  [this bullet point marked with red]

An old balding white man in a suit gleefully tosses money into the air, where it flutters down to gaunt, desperate-looking people. The text reads:

When a company increases its net income by 70%, pays its CEO 532 x more than its median worker & as spending more than $100 million on stock buybacks, the problem is not inflation nor is it a worker's 50 cent raise.

The problem is sociopathic corporate greed.

A breakdown in an axios article giving a bit more detail from the 60 Minutes report (keep in mind, there are 238 people on that list of victims of the current regime):
- At least 22% of the men on the list have criminal records here in the United States or abroad, but the vast majority are for non-violent offenses like theft, shoplifting, and trespassing, the 60 Minutes review found.

- Only a dozen are accused of murder, rape, assault, or kidnapping.

- It is unclear whether a criminal record exists for about 3% of those deported.
