My little free library this week. I wrap all the books with a slip of paper saying why they were challenged.

Little free library with signage about banned books week taped in the door.

The books inside the library. Each one is wrapped with a piece of brown paper that says “challenged” on the spine. Selection included Harry Potter books, the Bible, the hate u give, handmaid’s tale, to kill a mockingbird, I know why the caged bird sings, killers of the flower moon.

The climate in eastern Nebraska has grown so tropical, I’ve got papaya coming up in my compost bin!

Can we also establish a standard that news organizations )especially weather programs) will NOT use footage that was clearly taken from the driver’s seat of a moving vehicle?

I would like an overlay button for every bit of technology I use that, unbidden, asks me if I want AI to summarize this document, this video, if I want AI to rewrite this email, if I want AI to retouch this photo, if I want, AI . . . That button will say “YEET AI INTO SUN”

“A MAN HAS TO BE” 11”x14” collage of magazine images, hand-painted paper, and an encyclopedia page. #collageart #handcut #analogcollage #cutandpaste

The key images are a muscular arm with a wrapped fist, a figure on one knee aiming a long gun, and orange flowers. A light-colored speckled circle highlights the dark figure of the figure with the gun. A darker circle highlights the wrapped fist, which is set off by flecks of white paint. The orange flowers are behind the darker circle. A blue background of white sparks from fireworks makes it look like the rifle is firing. Also in the dark blue-purple background are silhouettes of fighter jets. Outlined by orange are two text boxes. One is an old encyclopedia entry for testosterone. The other says A MAN HAS TO BE.

At 20”x15” this is the biggest collage I’ve done in quite some time. I got stuck on it and let it sit for a couple of months before finishing it over the past two days. #collageart #analogcollage #cutandpaste #climatechange #environmentalart

The most prominent element is a large eye with a brown iris and gold eye makeup surrounded by mums. A woman’s hands with pointed nails done up in flame and ice colors are posed sinuously. Background images include rocks and rocky landscapes, the burnt innards of Notre Dame, a cityscape, snowy trees, detritus of destroyed housing, a skull, sea foam and sand, water birds, a torch flame, and burning candles. Obviously words on the piece include: warning, heat, you help. Subtle words include: smoke, risk, water.

Spotted downtown Lincoln. Plants are trying to tap into the grid!?

Vining plants are sending tendrils into the round hole of a utility panel and wrapping around wires in an open breaker panel.

Heat waves. Thanks to @climateadam.bsky.social's most recent video, which helped inform this comic and gave me the kick I needed to make it.

Doing a @historymadebyus civic wish wall in my neighborhood today.

A little red wagon with a poster board sign in it with a drawing of a birthday cake with 25 candles that says BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR AMERICA. Other text reads: 2026 2076 imagine the United States at 300 years. What’s your wish for the next 50 years? There are sticky notes with people’s wishes written on them stuck to the poster board. Nearby is a table with markers and blank sticky notes.

Today is a reminder that the work of protecting our country never ends. Democracy isn’t something we inherit and then forget about. Every generation has to decide whether it will stand up for it.

Our local library had a collage session for the 250th on the theme of “What does it mean to you to be an American?” Here’s what I produced. #collageart #analogcollage #cutandpaste #america250

Collage of magazine, mail, and book images. Text includes “instructions for early voters voting by mail“, “the leading Indian culture groups“, “songs of patriots”, “serving on a jury”, and “we the peo”. Images include an old encyclopedia map of Native American tribes, a red top hat 15 cent cancelled envelope stamp, a line drawing if Christopher Columbus, a row of Black Civil War soldiers, the Statue of Liberty, a black and white line drawing of an early American flag flying over a battle, and a line drawing of an arm holding a megaphone. Lines of metallic red stars appear to emit from the megaphone and wrap around the piece.

I was curious about the logo on the box. Per Wikipedia: “The Pyrene Company Limited from their beginning in 1914, until 1971 when they became Chubb Fire Security Limited, were among the world's leaders in the manufacture of fire fighting equipment.”

OMG the political texts are making me nuts in Nebraska too. They paused after the primary, but now I’m getting fundraising texts for the general election already. Who are these people and how did they get my number? Argh! 🛑 stop!

Artists, quote with your blue art. I created this piece to reflect a relaxation technique I use. Sometimes when I can’t get to sleep because my brain is stuck in gear, I can let go and drift off by thinking about different shades of blue. Goodnight, Bluesky! 💤💤💤💤💤💤 #collageart #analogcollage

Layers of blue and some multicolored sections of magnified crystal that are mostly blue, a blue tent, a bright star in a circle of dark blue sky, a blue boat on blue water, and a series of the letter “z in blue and silver that zig zag from the tent lower left, between the boat and star, and up to the moon upper right.

I’ve got a couple of pieces in this show. 1867 Bar in Lincoln, through the end of April.

Art show poster that shows a brick wall and concrete sidewalk. On the brick wall is text in stencil and graffiti font: Art is resistance April first Friday community exhibition. A sign board reads April 3, 2026, 7-10pm 1867 Bar 101 N 14th st #6, 68508 hosted by Indivisible Nebraska Lincoln. A sample artwork shows a fiber art piece with frogs holding protest signs and the word resist.

I donated my hand-me down 4-seater couch to a thrift store when it wouldn’t fit in my new apartment. It had some upholstery tears, but they did reluctantly take it. I came back later to donate the coffee table and cracked up to see the sign they’d put on it: $49.99 8-foot party couch!

The arrival of the turkey vultures in western Nebraska was my spring sign. We had a few dozen that roosted in our neighborhood. I enjoyed watching them come and go, evening and morning. The HUNDREDS that would pass through on migration were always impressive. I miss them now that I’ve moved away. 😢

Attended a self portrait class where they took and printed a photo of you to start. Had access to colored paper, scissors, glue sticks, and paint pens.

A black and white figure, their face washed out, holds their hands as if shrugging. Or maybe juggling, since there are double parentheses near the hands, possibly suggestion movement. What look like books pop from the page above the figure’s head, emphasized by short red lines. The legs of the figure, but off at mid-shin, are upper left, on a square of red paper with a gold line underneath. On a red square upper right is a gold question mark. Bottom left is a gold line with a red “tent” popping up from it.

Visited an art gallery. There was a whole herd of bronze squirrels.

About 3 dozen approximately life-sized sculptural squirrels - some of them holding objects like carrots or daffodils - meander down a white wall and across a polished concrete floor.

Looking back, Juan heaved a sigh. Josephine missed the cue and was once again the LAST dancer to transmogrify into a glittery ephemeral being. #februllage day 28 🎉 #analogcollage #handcut

On stage, a female dancer in a pink dress at left looking forward and a male dancer in a short white toga at right looking towards the dancer. Between them are the glitter silhouettes of four female dancers.
