To be clear, I have no sympathy for Maduro—there is no question he is a dictator who has perpetrated horrible acts—but violating the sovereignty of another country and abducting their leader is absolutely unacceptable imperialist behavior.
The Trump regime needs to be stopped. Congress must step up to stop this insanity.

If I look a bit unhinged after the holiday, it’s probably because I’m beginning to crack knowing there is a typo inside my Enterprise model.
LEGO model of the Star Trek ship Enterprise NCC 1701-D with a stickered piece containing a spelling error “to boldy go where no one has gone before.”
Tonight, I made the brave decision to proceed with the build despite the ship’s plaque sticker typo. It has been fully enclosed in LEGO.

In the foreground, a sketch of a barn made with a fountain pen and a grey shimmer ink. In the background, the subject of the sketch—a grey-brown, weathered barn surrounded by out-buildings and trees. A field separates the two.
Slow down and enjoy the view.

First night of the solar storm. I was utterly unprepared, so unfortunately all the photos were far from ideal.
I was prepared with the right setup tonight. A good show, but not nearly as intense as the first night’s.

Please, don’t cave again. Let Republicans shut it down.
Low & Slow.
Long COVID, POTS, and chronic fatigue have kept me from this labor of love for far too long.
Electric/pellet smokers are undoubtedly easier, but nothing beats the flavor and bark that charcoal & wood produce.
Get your vaccinations, folks!

Zelensky is a HERO.
Trump is a TRAITOR.
Putin is a DICTATOR.
Thanks! Yup, I cut it out after coloring it in. It’s from this Bob Ross coloring book: bit.ly/3EsWICl
Bob Ross coloring book page depicting an illustrated scene with a river and foliage in the forefront, mountains at sunset in the background, and a small red shack nestled among all that nature. Colored using vivid alcohol markers.

I’ve been feeling increasingly overwhelmed by the destruction and cruelty of the Trump regime, consumed by anxiety as we see history repeating itself. “Don’t Believe Him” gave me clarity, a call to action, and hope.
I see through the shock-and-awe, and so should you.

It’s the reign of King Donald: now a people who fled cruel monarchs have their own | Martin Kettle
Bishop Mariann Budde, who is wearing red, white and black vestments, speaks from a lectern within an ornate pulpit adorned with red and white flowers. Headline reads: "The Bishop Who Pleaded With Trump: 'Was Anyone Going to Say Anything?'" Photo credit: Doug Mills/The New York Times.
“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” Bishop Mariann Budde explained. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?”
So, she took a breath, and spoke. nyti.ms/3WtmNY2

I recently discovered the joy that is alcohol markers. It’s been fun exploring different layering and blending techniques.
ISO good tutorials or nerdy coloring books!
