Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost? If not, why the fuck do we have a congress? Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to all these assholes since they do absolutely NOTHING!

The Great Mental Models v4: Economics and Art- The audience is the invisible participant in every work of art. They are the eyes that see, the ears that hear, the minds that interpret. Without an audience, art is like a tree falling in an empty forest— it may make a sound, but does it matter?

This is the first shoe I made after I decided to begin the project Shoes as Storytellers in 2021. When I first made it, the sock was solid across the top, it was a bit creepy, like a bone. So I trimmed it off. See more shoes and read the stories that inspired them on my website, funkydori.com

Freeze eggs for up to 1 year A standard ice cube tray should hold one cracked egg per slot. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over each cracked egg, cover the tray securely with plastic wrap, and stash in your freezer on a flat surface until they are frozen solid.

I have noticed a lot of the accounts following me are spam or single men. When I first joined the single men would DM me all the time. Because of this, I have my DM settings set to only allow people I follow to message me. If you’re broccoli, I’m probably not going to follow you back.

"If you think you're too small to make a difference, try going to bed with a mosquito", painted in 2018. Yes those are ORANGE feet, if you get my drift. This quote has been attributed to African proverbs, the Dali Lama, and Dame Anita Roddick. Acrylic housepaint on recycled dropcloth.

Cartoonlike painting of a giant mosquito sucking the blood out of two orange feet. The feet are sticking out of the blankets of the bed. On the wall behind the bed is the text, quote, If you think you're too small to make a difference, try going to bed with a mosquito, unquote

Lolly’sShoe, 2024 The shoe was originally sculpted from clay, based on images I found online. I later discovered these very clown shoes in the Ringling Museum, Sarasota - Bill Ballentyne’s shoes! I was pretty stoked to see how accurately I was able to cast them in glass. #glassart #patedeverre

Still Me, 2022 These shoes represent the story of a Black Air Force officer. How the world sees him when he’s dressed casual vs in uniform. I posted the whole story in my feed with additional photos. It seems fitting for today, as we remember and honor Martin Luther King Jr. #glassart
