A moody painting depicting a nude woman positioned uncomfortably on a bed, turned away from an open window through which we can see sun peaking through the clouds.

11. Here's the full poem.

“We must not be frightened nor cajoled
into accepting evil as deliverance from evil.
We must go on struggling to be human,
though monsters of abstraction
police and threaten us.

Reclaim now, now renew the vision of
a human world where godliness
is possible and man
is neither gook nigger honkey wop nor kike

but man

permitted to be man.”

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

"Their message is so simple: 'Yes, you are a person. Yes, I like you. Yes, it's alright for you to like me too.' Being gay has taught me tolerance, compassion, and humility. ... it has brought me into the family of man, mama. And I like it here. I like it. " @armisteadmaupin.substack.com

Yo, this is really on point. Back in my days at VOA I watched the Arab Spring unfold in real time, from DC, via video. Some of the on-the-ground footage I watched from Syria haunts me to this day.

Not me leaving a friend's birthday party only to stay up late working on a digital illustration for work. A late night using the GIMP brings me back to my college age.

Not art related, but I've decided to learn more about religion. One video I've been watching quotes a scholar who says the number of holy foreskins claimed in reliquaries varies between 8 - 20 and who's to say Jesus *didn't* have twenty dicks?

@dessadarling.bsky.social absolutely inspired at the Black Cat Sunday night. First time I saw her live after being a fan for years. The power, passion, humor, rage... The HUMANITY that Dessa brought to the stage. Absolutely life-affirming.

Anyone ever wonder what happened to Neveldine and Taylor? They were the most 2000s of filmmakers. In retrospect they probably were in DC on January 6, but like, Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance slapped.

@kenjennings.bsky.social Thank you for answering my question about what kind of art you liked at the taping this week. After the taping I went to the Getty and was quite moved by a Cezanne hanging there. As a painter I like a couple Impressionists too. Sorry for making you think I was judging you!

Avengers Doomsday is going to have some of the MCU characters following Dr. Doom and I question any writer who created a scenario in which Steve Rogers is like "oh your name is DOCTOR DOOM, great let me get my costume lfg." Maybe he's reassured by the fact that Doom *actually* has a PhD?

Hey everyone, America is in need of dire change. I painted an indelible image for the time - Lady Liberty self-immolating as an act of protest - and if you want to demand change, do as the good doctor says and give a lesbian money.

I planned a workshop at @merrypindc.bsky.social on protest art a few months back before everything has gone to hell and I'm writing the lecture outline when I really just want to write "ART IS SCREAMING." Anyway assuming we're not snowed out, it's Tuesday at 18:30.

Hearing Neil sing "... and I'm gettin old" hits a lot differently now than it did when I first encountered his music at age 12. This is a perfect song.

If you have something you don't enjoy doing, try thinking of it like an art project. Hate to cook? Edible art. Anxious at parties? It's a secret improv show only you understand. DIY home renovations? Sculpture. Have to clean your house? Mixed media piece with a performance element.

Making Batman into a goth Iron Man only makes sense if he covers the lower half of his dang face. What do you mean he has all this tech built into his suit and he just has his chin raw-doggin it infront of an old guy with a gun that can freeze you to death

republicans calling any judge they disagree with an “activist judge” is great framing from a political perspective and democrats should absolutely co-opt that language about far right judges
