Conjuring some ethereal bodyscapes with my friend Shelbi. Smokey vibes and rich shadows make me happy.

Smoke curls around a nude woman drenched in shadows, only part of her body lit. She is in repose, her curves highlighted.

I've been thinking about monsters. The real ones, they are too real… these greedy, selfish and powerful people that seek to rule through cruelty, through oppression, to manipulate through reactionary and authoritarian means. These are true villains.

Clawing out of her cocoon, black ink oozing, she eyes you hungrily. Hair of fire and eyes of black, you'll give yourself willingly.

Remiss in sharing art, because I've been fighting off doom and depression through overwork. But here I give you the Two of Swords, part of my ongoing #Tarot series: A stalemate, a crossroads, put between difficult choices. #fantasy #photography #art #photosky #portraits

A woman kneels in snow, shrouded in black, two swords crossed before her.

The two of swords represents difficult decisions, a stalemate or blocked path. It is as much about our own barriers as the struggles we face in the world.

Well it was fun having a newspaper while it lasted. (email from our printer) So...now having more business makes you RAISE prices? Is that how Late Stage Capitalism works? Because that is NOT how supply and demand works.

screen grab of email reading: Trust, this finds you both well. While I know you have reduced the frequency of your printed schedule, I wanted to keep you updated on the current tariff situation. Attached please find a letter from Doug Wilson, Vice President of Production for Adams Publishing about the recently announced tariffs. While we purchase our newsprint from a Washington State paper manufacturer, our supplier has told us they will be raising prices starting this Monday. It is a simple case of supply and demand. Higher tariffs have pushed more US users of Canadian newsprint to turn to the domestic newsprint market, which have driven up demand and will drive up prices and push US paper mills to increase domestic production capacity.

The increase announced in the attached letter will be based on the total invoice as a line item; Federal Tariff on Paper Impact Surcharge.

Please let me know if you have any questions. On behalf of everyone at Skagit Publishing your business is appreciated.

Best Regards,

PS While it appears there is a temporary pause for Mexico, Canadian tariffs are still in place. I will update you if there are any changes in the current situation.

One of my favorite humans, @hauntedhousewife.bsky.social , asked if I'd help her with some product photos for her new jewelry mine and of course I said yes. So we played around on my new set with her gorgeous designs in a little Victorian #portrait session. #photography #gothic

On a white bed, surrounded by foliage, this unearthly creature sits resplendent in contemplation. Her expression is serene, as sun streams in through sheer white curtains. Her dress fans out around her, a beautiful heirloom honored by the goddess it adorns.

The ambush by Trump and JD Vance was pure thuggery—political theater designed to rile up the MAGA base with no real effort at diplomacy. This is what happens when far-right culture wars hijack foreign policy, reducing complex global conflicts to performative posturing—like a reality TV show.

How did our country (the U.S.) create and elevate such a group of cowardly, greedy, vain, arrogant, and profoundly insecure men to the highest rungs of power? They bring Zelensky to the Oval Office for what? To mock and denigrate a truly courageous leader & try to bring him down to their base level?

The saga began when @nickjudin.bsky.social attempted to report on a House GOP caucus meeting in 2022 but was kicked out. The Open Meetings Act says that "any policymaking entity" is a "public body." The court said that doesn't include the Legislature. www.mississippifreepress.org/house-republ...

The Mississippi Legislature is NOT a "public body" and NOT subject to the Open Meetings Act under state law, a judge has ruled. That means a quorum of House Republicans will be able to continue to meet and make key legislative decisions in private. #MSLeg @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

excerpt reads: "I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time.
When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work.
If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."
