I pulled out my oil paints after a super long time. I painted a little still life to see how I could do. I painted with a brush. It felt a little dull. Then I pulled out a palette knife and played a lot. Good times. This one is done. #art #saturdayart #makearteveryday

For the second year, Tulip, the hummingbird, is building a nest on our string of porch lights. We are so lucky to get to watch this again. Same lightbulb as last year. #welivewithnature #humingbirdhabitat

I enjoyed teaching a workshop at the Writing Heights Spring Retreat in Allen’s Park and am inspired by the beauty up here, so I am staying for the evening to write a bit and commune with like-minded creatives because community and creating are what I need right now. #writinginthemountains

Elon Musk’s promised savings from his DOGE operation has shrunk from $2 trillion to what he now claims is $150 billion, or just 7.5% of the amount initially promised. Now, new estimates suggest his cost-cutting crusade might actually end up costing MORE than what he claims to have saved taxpayers.

Opinion | New estimates indicate that Elon Musk's DOGE might not achieve any savings

The way Musk has gone about his efficiency initiative has incurred tremendous costs.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Had a full day of activism. We volunteer for Rocky Mountain Equality, an organization doing important work for the LGBTQ+ community in the State of Colorado. We volunteered for two events for them in Saturday and met Keynote Harper Steele. What a trailblazer! I also got to the protests in town.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.
