A cop warns on the price of witnessing death.

As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society.
We don't have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

Also, wear a mask. Remember during early COVID when an entire strain of influenza went extinct? That was due in part to masking. I still wear mine whenever I'm out shopping.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

I am 100% serious. Fascistic art demands adoration, demands to be loved, demands to be respected. It does not seek to express so much as to impress. It is art that aims to take and take and take, never to give.

Here's the finished page for #Smaugust 2026! Just three mini paintings this year since I couldn't do the dailies - not that I needed an excuse to paint #dragons lol. #Watercolor for all three, a bit of white gouache, white gel pen in the 5.5x8.5 inch Stillman and Birn Delta #Sketchbook

Three mini paintings of dragons side by side on the paper. The first is a small dragon looking out at a mountain with a thundercloud above it, lit by the sunset. The second is a close up view of a dragon standing on a hilltop the sun hitting its shoulders and neck, the third panel is the side view portrait of a dragon, the sun lighting up the top half and the rest in shadow. Under the panels is written #Smaugust 2026, kamakru.com and artist signature Katie Croonenberghs

Ai bros hate artists because deep down they know they have no goals, no dreams, & nothing that they truly love. It’s a dark void that eats & gnaws at them so they lash out at those that have that spark. All they want is to drag you down with them to prove that it’s all hopeless

How many 50-year-old roofers there are? Zero. One reason unions fight for high wages is because careers are SHORT.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

There are actually almost no “machine made” clothes. Sewing garments requires an ability to account for stretching and shifting fabrics. We can’t create robots that can do that reliably. Most of our clothes are made by highly skilled and criminally underpaid factory workers overseas.
