Trump's Big Ugly Bill includes huge increases in spending on ICE and immigrant detention. It's the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America. To actually make communities safer, we should be spending on housing, education, and healthcare instead.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use 2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use 3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Picture of crowds with signs in front of the Colorado Springs City Hall during the No Kings protests

The view from the front of the No Kings protest just north of City Hall in downtown Colorado Springs. The crowd of roughly 12000 people stretched from this spot south to Uintah.

I stayed up late illustrating something for no real reason. I definitely didn't give out a google drive link with a high res version of it among friends and family for printing purposes.

The cover for trade paperback of the NYT bestseller Absolution, the fourth in the Southern Reach series, out in October. Changes from the hardcover put the image into the same style as the 10th anniversary editions of Annihilation, Authority, & Acceptance. There's also a new intro by Julia Armfield!

Sharing my take on this spectacular little friend for #invertefest. They always look larger than life in artwork, but I think are usually only around an inch or two in reality. Venomous too! Tiny but terrifying!

Art piece of a symmetrical drawing of a Glaucus atlanticus, also known as the blue dragon, a small sea slug. It has three frilly appendages on its slug-like body of decreasing size from head to foot on either side. It has striking dark blue, bright blue, and white patterns over its body. The background is a deep navy blue.

I mean this in an encouraging way: try to unlearn your disgust of “creepy” crawlies. While not always easy, it is so richly rewarding to develop an appreciation for some of the most numerous and fascinating animals that you can see just about every time you go outside. There is wonder everywhere.

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD
