Touch the Stove

Through the magic of "executive order," which, apparently replaces laws in this country, the current administration is getting rid of useful things like weather reporting -- NOAA and NWS. Because why do Americans need to know about tornados? The coming tariffs will devalue all their crap anyway, so wipe it out in a future storm,

Gulf of Mexico forever and ever

One of the more ridiculous things the current administration has done is to "rename" long-standing geographic features to his liking. Denali was reverted to the hated name of the former president who never set foot on its slopes, and, inexplicably, the Gulf of Mexico became the Gulf of "America." Another renaming involving a mediocre white

Slice of Life

Last month's trip to New Orleans was largely a bust due to the unexpected snow storm, cher. We had a few good meals, saw a little bit of art and culture, noted the upcoming SuperbOwl measures, and then BAM, we needed snuggies and gloves and boots and things. I managed to take a few pictures

Gargle Your Balls

"Gargle your balls." Witnesses said a bus driver told an ICE agent to "gargle [his] balls" when the latter requested entry to the bus. Then, Ottawa Senators fans booed America's anthem at a Wild-Senators game yesterday. Oh, and then some asshat gave Elon Fucking Musk direct access to US Treasury Data along with the Office

Simmer to a boil: How it’s going in the U.S. of A.

Apparently when I get angry, I reach for the art materials and make protest images. Who knew? Lots to be angry about. The current president is blaming the past administration for "DEI" hires causing an air collision that killed all 67 people involved yesterday. This, despite ➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21:

Crones of Anarchy: Now with 100% more fried eggs + Doc Martens

My last Crones of Anarchy post did well on Bluesky (are you following me?), so I did it again but with more socially relevant items: rebel shoes and fried eggs. IYKYK, ya know? Anyway, I also roped myself into doing some culture-shifting work with regards to how heroism is presented in this country. I said,

Dredging Up the Past: Former blogs and other digital detritus

Since I'm moving things around, I thought I'd include a link to our travel log from August 2018-August 2019. We called it The Viking Road to honor Jan's background, but it also captures our wanderlust during that time period. Lost of interesting locations along the route, including Lima, Peru to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fun times.

Becoming Unsocial: Unplugging from the Network

🔥Changing social media accounts is easier if you realize platforms are meant to burn. 🔥 🔥 Hot flashes for tech, if you will. 🔥 I'm finally at that point. I can no longer be on many social media platforms. If you don't know why or want to argue about that, just move along. I'm not

Crones of Anarchy

This is a completely unsanctioned Crones of Anarchy...logo? Needlepoint? I don't know. I was having a conversation with someone on Bluesky (hey follow me there!), and I followed the prompt of "Please tell me membership comes with a needlepoint rocker patch on a vegan leather jacket." And here it is: Enjoy. If you do, in

Tis the Season for Seasonal Produce

I know I need to do "process" videos in order to really get stuff out there, but the truth is making these sucks and I'd much rather put my energy into actually painting. Consider stills in video format to be my compromise. (I threw pictures into Canva and exported it as an MP4,
