Close-up of a ground-level cluster of flowers. Each flower is dark purple with white edges and white strips that focus attention to the center of the flower, which is bright green.

Here’s a little present for those of you on the Nice list. This is Asarum speciosum, native to Alabama. Isn’t it fantastic? #Aristolochiaceae #Botany 🌾πŸ§ͺ🌱

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

I worked on a short story collection for what has felt like a decade. I’ve never been able to get someone to pick it up. Very short and takes songs and turns them into stories. A literary mixtape. If you feel the urge, please check it out!

In the era of cruelty, be kind.
In the era of idiocy, be smart.
In the era of ignorance, be educated.
In the era of despair, dare to hope.

I’m nearing a new music project that is a celebration of a friendship. I’m bad at promoting my music! Visit thebarrettproblem.bandcamp.com and check out some experimental, electronic and folksy music! (Quality not guaranteed) #music #weird #promo #bandcamp

Experimenting with new styles. Leaning towards a β€œImagery with Men’s Room Stall Writing” style. Next painting I’m really excited about! #art #paintings #somethingnew #colors #writing #findingmyjam

About to cut the Meta cord by deleting my Instagram account. Found Pixelfed and like it so far. Anyone else have any suggestions for migration to new social media? #instagram #nomoremeta #newsocial #leavefacistplatforms

I used AI for a couple on Bandcamp before I knew the ethics behind AI. Totally agree. Plan to right my wrongs. Sincerely regret it.

Follows the life of a family and those around them pre - during the depression. Very meta and at times clever and funny. Beautifully written!

Congratulations! Huge deal! People don’t seem to understand how hard it truly is.

Not alone. There are many in the same boat. You get to have your emotions and I hope we all get the chance to connect together in any way (including online) we can. It’s becoming uglier. But we can bring beauty to one another! Resistance is also not submitting to fear.

A scene with inky darkness. The moon blots out the sun and ring of fire appears in the sky. The horizon looks like sunset and the golden color reflects in the lake. Three people in the bottom right corner look up. They are in silhouette.

Remember the eclipse back in April?

Since eclipses are rare I practiced camera settings and timing... then changed travel plans, watched the weather like a hawk, and ended up driving quite a bit. It all worked out. I'm proudest of this image and would love to do projects like this more often.
