It also shows that his movement is philosophically empty. There's no well-known artist or band that gets repeatedly called upon to embody the spirit of what he stands for.

Trump has no ideology. He's simply a selfish criminal. He doesn't stand for any particular ideals. So stealing art or music for shallow, cynical use reflects who he is.

It has struck me that the Trump régime's repeated copyright infringements over many years stems from its foundational beliefs. Hitler was an ideologue. Wagner's music represented something of that ideology to him.

But Trump—

I see she has subsequently been shifted to another place where she can do damage, and will be replaced by an equally terrible person, but with his own special terribleness.

Another angle.

Well, I didn't know, but at least I wore a navy dress today.

Woman in bright clothes with hat in almost a neon lime colour and a big green orchid decoration.

#HatOfTheDay with genuine fake flower.

Oh! Where? Or what are some of the highlights? I'd love to see her get her comeuppance, even if just an hors d'oevre of it for now.

#HatOfTheDay. Sitting spaced out in the middle of a deurmekaar scattering of cushions wearing frumpy un-ironed clothes in weirdly contrasting colours, I feel like this photo captures one of the stereotypical presentations of senior citizens with ADHD. Even vibing some pathos there.

Abstract but mechanical looking black and white drawing. Looks woven.

Ink, white paint and ballpoint study.

#HatOfTheDay with marcasite brooch and heirloom commemorative coin.

Organic shapes, ballpoint drawing. Looks like stretched body parts.

Part of a doodle...

Woman wearing cloche hat and polka dot shawl. Looking quirky and anachronistic

I have no tats and don't intend getting any, but people have once or twice asked whether they may use my drawings as tattoos. (I only said yes once; might design some in the future, but not now.)

This thread on the technical considerations is fascinating.

Pretty young woman looking ill with dark circles under her eyes and dull skin

Same woman with gentle makeup but you can't see it's makeup. She looks healthy and dreamy.

Now, I often see right-wing guys say that they prefer women with no makeup, but the woman must also be slender and have a healthy glow.

So I wonder, what happens if the pretty tradwife gets chronically ill? Do they prefer her without makeup, or concealing the illness?

I'm OK with it that some men say they prefer women to wear no makeup (unless it's an unsolicited comment).

This photo was taken when they asked Epstein survivors which of them had tried to speak to Pam Bondi, only to be met by her refusal.

Every one of them raised their hand.

That's Pam Bondi in the front, the blonde one—the woman who wants rapists go unpunished to save a rapist society.

Oh the irony…

Vladimir Solovyov is beside himself over Starlink YouTube video by Russian Media Monitor

Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov was beside himself over Starlink. In response, he threatened to nuke all satellites (as well as Ukraine), unless Trump gets on the phone and tells Elon Musk what to do. The weatherman agreed.

This was one of the first hats my mother made when she started all this during the 2020 lockdown.

Woman with hand raised softly to her chin

...with sentimental poses inspired by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz. (Did you know that the film was riddled with horribly unethical practices, even for its time? Big disappointment for me when I learned this, because when I was little, I thought it was wonderful.)

Thank you! I am at that stage of designing them where spontaneous compliments still gives needed reassurance.

Same as pic above but with a smile. Pendant is abstract design. Hat has a small purple bow.
