I keep sharing this for three reasons: 1. Astraea. 2. Animation is something I've been interested in for years, and have been figuring out how to do (on my own, over the years) - and I'm really proud of how smooth this little video turned out. 3. Healing. See thread.

I'm not sure where this little clown is going, but I'll bet she's got a great view. 🌈🥹💚 #clown #sadclown #floatingaway #balloons #whimsy #milwaukeeArt #patchworkbird #mandycappleman

A little clown, floating along with her balloons. Her painted face looks sad - but, underneath her sad clown makeup, she's actually smiling.

Here is my fuzzy (hopefully not too scary) monsters collection! These #monsters are not afraid to show their feelings. They are available as prints, t-shirts, and stickers (and more) and you can find them (and also more) on my redbubble. 🥰 #art #patchworkbird #mandycappleman

Every child born into this world deserves a safe, happy, and healthy childhood, as well as a future adulthood where they will be able to thrive.

........thinking about ways to *safely and effectively* convert food waste from all of the recalls into fuel. It could potentially solve multiple issues at once. I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but maybe someone else (who *actually* knows) might see this and figure out a way do it.

I (am a children's author/illustrator) am feeling a little sad right now because I just had to leave an author/illustrator group that, at one point, I really enjoyed being in..... but, within recent years, it's become another (frustrating) platform to promote ai-generated slop for quick profit. 🥺

Thinking about how "maga" has been referring to themselves as "the party of common sense" and......... I envision someone preparing a cake but, instead of putting the ingredients in bowls, they throw them on the floor - and then stick their head in the oven. 🐣

When there is even *one* starving child in this world - let alone as many starving children as there are - billionaires (and trillionaires) shouldn't be allowed to exist..... and how obnoxiously irresponsible, selfish, and cruel that they do. 🥺

WIC provides food, as well as additional medical and emotional support during critical points in human development from pregnancy through early childhood. Funding #WIC is INVESTING in OUR FUTURE. This vital program deserves MORE funding, not less. Call your senators and tell them NO CUTS to WIC.

From a butterfly (or maybe a moth) who has spent a LOT of time as "cocoon goo" in my life: You are so loved. Your life is important. I'm glad you're here. I wrote this song and made this art for people like us, who might need a reminder that we belong *exactly* as we are. 🏳️‍🌈💚🏳️‍⚧️ youtu.be/UDN3gJFVBeg

I still mask up indoors in public spaces (and even outdoors, if the space is packed). With everything that's happened and is happening still, the *least* we can do is be kind/mindful. The more of our own germs we can keep to ourselves, the better off we'll all be - especially our most vulnerable. 💚

Especially in dark and disturbing times like these, please check in on your neighbors and make sure they're eating okay. We can't fix everything, but we CAN look out for one another and try to help bridge gaps in whatever ways we're able.

Kirk Bangstad is launching a campaign for governor. Okay, on the one hand - I think he's got the backbone for the job. On the other/more importantly, there are amazing candidates (like Francesca Hong, for example) who also have the backbone for the job AND who've been putting in the work. 1/2

I think the part that irks me the most about these things is the complete lack of consideration for the other people in the space. The first time this was pulled, he killed somebody. 1/2

How stupid do they think people are? Hopefully, there weren't any casualties from their theatrical bs this time. This whole predator-protecting "administration" needs to be removed - yesterday.
