This is very useful for socializing boys into responsible men who would never treat women or girls like the denizens of the Manosphere do.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Just as a sculptor tests a scaled maquette against real-world light, traffic, and sightlines before committing to bronze, policymakers could stress-test ideas before turning them into law. rescreativa.org Imagination belongs in public. #artists #policymakers #imagination #creativity #rescreativa

Fall of Freedom is a nationwide wave of creative resistance. For Oct. 2-4, you may want to organize a performance, screening, reading, exhibition, gathering, or creative action. Counter repression and censorship with joyful and defiant creativity!

What inspires a painting? For me it's the combo of doctor's saying “remember to eat a balanced diet”, some pasta recipes and cats. An exhibit of my paintings opens Oct 1 from 6-8 at the Caplan Art Designs gallery in Portland Oregon sueclancy.substack.com/p/mundane-me...

Here's a stray thought I had and wrote by hand using my fountain pen this A.M. The ink is a blue-green-black. I like this ink color.

We don’t have to put up with this. Not these policies or these politicians or even this system of politics. It's time for us to chase out corruption and build a politics that actually responds to the people.

How do we make teaching a sustainable career? We need: 🎒Education budget tied to the defense budget 🎒Teacher minimum wage 🎒Strong teacher unions 🎒Investment in the paraprofessionals that a kid needs to be their best learner and so teachers can focus on teaching

The publishing industry views Bluesky as some tiny unimportant island out somewhere in a far-off ocean. It's not worthy of their attention like Amazon Algoland or The Republic Of Instagram Influencer Collaborativepost is. What they don't realise is just how much the island's inhabitants love books.

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking. Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out. But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant.

I had a heart angiogram recently and the sedation nurse asked me to talk and keep talking as they started the procedure. So of course I recited a naughty-ish poem. Details here sueclancy.substack.com/p/poetry-for...

What if our greatest democratic challenge is not disagreement but misperception? Here we explore how fear distorts our view of one another, what psychology reveals about the empathy perception gap, and why creative practice may help restore the habits of attention that healthy democracies require.
rescreativa.org
What If We've Forgotten How to See One Another?
Fear doesn't simply divide us. It changes how we imagine one another. New research suggests our greatest challenge may not be a lack of empathy, but our failure to recognize it.

A page from an artist book I'm currently working on. I figured I'd share some of these pages on my Friday A.M Sketching post instead of doing the 2nd-grader-style armpit noises. I just checked and it seems I can't make the armpit noises anymore anyway. I guess I grew up. Sigh.
