What if you see ICE at the polls? (Don't worry! Read on for the plan!) @indivisible.org roped me in to design and illustrate a new zine! Check it out in this 🧵 - and visit linktr.ee/wewillvote to sign up for the Election Protection Program and find all the resources you need!

This Day in Labor History: October 15, 1990. President George H.W. Bush signed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. This provided a path forward for compensation for Cold War uranium miners but still largely left out the Navajos, suffering and dying from their work for this nation's nukes!!

Seshat was the goddess of knowledge and astronomy, inventor of writing, and divine record keeper, marking the passage of time on a notched palm rib. Here, the diagram she draws invokes how the Moon's "cratering record" is used in the study of planetary chronology. #SkyhorseCarousel #SciArt
side view of a carousel horse painted with haunches showing brown and silver craters as if the surface of the Moon. The saddle and saddle blanket are in a dark blue and purple color scheme with copper and silver details.Top view of the saddle showing an Egyptian goddess with gold skin, a yellow leopard print dress, blue hair, and red jewelry. She holds a stylus up to a palm rib which looks like a long can with a crook at the top. Behind her are the dotted lines of a scientific diagram lined up to look as though she is drawing them. Below her is silver text in Egyptian hieroglyphs, and a distinct line in blue showing the symbols for several constellations. She has a symbol on her head which looks similar to a star or flower.Close up view of the craters on the horse, and also shown is the head of a leopard on the side of the saddle.Close up view of the hieroglyphs.
