“I’m not an artist, I can’t draw!” How many times have you heard this, or thought it yourself? In the latest episode of #YourArtISASpell, I break down the insidious myth that “real artists” need technical drawing skills to be valid. 🧵👇 youtu.be/UN_2dSn_H04

“You look happier.” I’ve been hearing this a lot lately, and honestly? I really am. The secret is that I finally stepped back and started making art for me again, instead of for the algorithm and for public consumption

Many of you might not realize how sadly common this nonpayment by galleries is & most go unreported because artists are terrified of being considered "difficult" and then never finding representation again.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.
