There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop over reacting

Capricorn (♑︎) is the 10th astrological sign originating from the constellation of Capricornus, the goat. Capricorn is symbolized by the sea goat. This imagery speaks to their bifurcated abilities: Capricorns are skilled at navigating both the material and emotional realms. #art #uglystepsisterart

Thinking of the life and art of David Lynch today. The impact his work had on outsider art is unmistakable. Blue Velvet and Lost Highway were some of my favorites. He cut a path for others and inspired some of my favorite musicians, filmmakers, and artists. Rest in weirdnes. 📷 credit: Jerome Bonnet

I've got the winter ick. Which gives me enough mental space to think of stupid things like social media. I feel that I'll be coming here more often than the meta/Elon spaces. I'd like to build community here, but just promo posting the art. So, what's new in January with you?
