I’m only seeing people with ME or Long Covid sharing this. If you’re not affected, can you please read it & share? Ableist propaganda goes viral all the time, which encourages outlets to publish more of it. Can we please make the truth go viral instead?

I've been able to do some painting lately. It really feeds my soul. 🥰Our kitty boy Tuffnut. Since it's a gift, I might try it again to clean up the background. #watercolor #cats

Watercolor portrait of a cat looking at the camera, with a colorful semi-abstract background of yellow, blue, purple and green. The cat is a standard issue-brown-black tabby with white belly. The tabby pattern comes down the top of his face part-way, leaving a white cutout across his eyes coming to a perfect point on the center of his forehead.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Was able to sit at the beach this summer and do a few sketches! A lot to learn in watercolor, and I am impatient. And arms get tired quickly. Reading about JMW Turner and how fast and furious he was with stunning results. So wish we could see him in action! #mecfs #watercolor #oceanscapes

This week I learned that watercolor can be a multi-day affair. I'm new to really trying to learn the medium. And I love female red cardinals, but so far getting her subtly blended feathers was most difficult. Values still off on her lower back. Progress not perfection. #birds #sketchbook #watercolor

Unfinished watercolor of three birds, a cedar waxwing, a female red cardinal, and a tufted titmouse. They are all mid-Atlantic American birds with crests on their heads, though they would never be on a branch together.
