The reference > the artwork

A purchased Adobe Stock image of a great horned owl on a branch in the daytime with a blue sky full of wispy clouds and a moon in the distance

Stained glass mosaic of the same owl on a branch but now the sky is night. The owl is illuminated by the moon out of frame. The owl's eyes are gold mirror, the feathers a menagerie of swirly neutral brown, ivory, and gray mosaic cut glass. Faceted glass beads soften and add sparkle. The background is black, navy, purple, and cobalt glass, some transparent with glitter behind it, and iridized white stars, iridized glass gems, star millefiori, Czech glass and faceted glass beads, some iridized teal and cobalt glass, and slivers or purple, teal, and cobalt mirror.

Work in progress. "Night Heron on the Susquehanna." Stained glass mosaic with glass beads and gems on mirror. The river and sky are all iridized glass. Just needs to be grouted and cleaned. Will grout with translucent epoxy grout. #artsky #mosaicart #birdart #heron #art

Everything has to change. Everything. Do not settle for politicians who want to go back to "normal." "Normal" was the garbage state of existence that allowed all of this evil to take root and thrive. Everything has to change.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Making art instead of watching that SOTU nonsense. Current work in progress: "The Eyes of the Gods." Stained glass mosaic with glass beads and gems, mirror, and glitter. In honor of the clergy out on the front lines protecting our neighbors. ✨🦚✨ #artsky #mosaics #mosaicart #glassart

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I wrote this last week. It's newly relevant today with the arrests of Don Lemon and another journalist who covered a Minnesota protest.

Fascists are at war with journalism. Why aren’t journalists at war with fascism?

Mainstream media seem willing to drop their duty in order to pick up profits

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The political system largely treats people like small-dollar ATMs that vote every 2 years. Everybody gets deluged with emails asking for money. It feeds cynicism and burnout. Rarely do you get a "help me organize our community" email.

Stop what you’re doing and read this piece, which is as powerful as you’d expect from @adamserwer.bsky.social witnessing the events of last week on the ground in Minnesota. “The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

This is the right take morally and politically. If your Dem rep or senator has said something along these lines, shower praise on them! If they haven't taken a stance, you should be pissed, and let them know that too. And if they're up for reelection in a safe seat in a competitive primary, well...
