Now THIS is what I'm talking about.
An oak lit gold by late afternoon light.
A treeline in stark silhouette against a burning sunset.
Passing storm clouds behind two vast pines.
Perennial reminder that the light will change.
If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken
Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.
Logistics is woke. Supply is woke. End-state planning is woke. Force protection? Believe it or not, woke

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper
Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as “cut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.
Bernie Sanders’ billionaire tax would soak about 900 people to fund $3,000 checks for the middle class
Okay. Great

Get those brackets together, folks. If you're learning, you're winning, and you're probably also getting a short break from the never-ending deluge of dread.
The money would also be used to:
-Reverse the cuts to Medicaid
- Raise the minimum salary of every public school teacher to $60,000
- Expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing for seniors
- Build $850 billion of affordable housing
- Provide universal childcare
BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing new legislation to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half.
A chunk of the money raised would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.
Actually yes I am saying that you shouldn’t dehumanize anyone
No exceptions to the rule

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
To Slay the Great Regurgitator
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road. the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Do any good thing you can, no matter how small. No good thing is ever insignificant.

A new(ish) social media platform means getting to present various baubles from my past like some sort of resplendent and flirtatious bird. Here's a view of the Pacific from R/V Falkor's starboard porthole, taken on January 9th, 2017 during my time as the @schmidtocean.bsky.social Artist at Sea.
The WPA produced mountains of banger public art, priceless historical documents and infrastructure we're STILL using. Our vision of an inspirational past is 1000% better than conservative Greek bust horseshit (because it actually happened) and we should be proud of it
