Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t a real thing but know what is? Dementia. #unfit #fdt

#NoKings

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

here's today's post: "no kings, fuck yeah!" massive protests coast to coast — and country to country. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

This is Idaho 💙

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

Stop worrying about the things Trump is doing and start focusing on what he doesn’t want. He wants a Nobel peace prize. He wants to be a winner. Make sure he’s remembered as a loser. That’s how you defeat him.

Watched an old trailer for “Remember the Titans” and remember thinking how crazy it would have been to have lived through that 30 years before the movie came out only to see it happening 25 years later.

EGGS ARE STILL 9 DOLLARS DONALD!

Can someone please explain to me why kids get kid energy and old people get all the exhaustion and not the other way around? Wouldn’t it have made sense to make the ones trying constantly kill themselves tired all the time and the ones trying to keep them alive always ready to go? Terrible design.

Here’s what a leader should look like. The more is see from Pritzker the more I like him. www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmil...

Eight months ago I couldn’t afford a Tesla and wanted one. Now I could likely trade my 2015 Nissan frontier for one and have little to no payment and I wouldn’t touch one with a ten foot pole. Keep it up everyone. This is the only good side of capitalism. #tesla

Correction - he will only be referred to as “Comrade Turd Soup”

I will only refer to Trump as “Turd Soup” from now on. That’s his name. That is what he is.

Well played.

Hello! Like many newbies here, I’m coming from IG, where I found and fostered a fun, warm, genuine community. Hoping to do the same here. My posts will focus on metalsmithing, vintage finds, and the forests and seacoast of Maine. If this sounds like your cup of tea, follow me and I’ll follow back!

The more I read about history the more I realize we are just actually awful. We are terrible to each other. Constantly and consistently. The idea of Utopia is pretty much everyone that has been victimized going “‘maybe they will realize this is bad and we can get along” But they never do. Ever.

Cleaned up my first successful cast and pretty happy with how it turned out. #metalcasting #metalart #casting #art #crafting

Not a complete failure! It’s not pretty but with tons of cleanup it’ll look great 🤣. This was more of a learning cast anyway. Looking forward to doing more and getting my technique down. Definitely need a respirator. This “copper alloy” is mostly alloy… #metalwork #metalcasting #metalart #it

Back to trying to cast something that doesn’t look like a lumpy metal afterbirth. This time I’m trying something a little more reasonable. My girlfriend’s son is a huge Team Fortress 2 fan so I’m making a custom coin for him out of copper. #metalcasting #pleasedontfail

I don’t care what anyone says, buttered popcorn flavored Jelly Bellies are delicious.

Any Arizona independent books stores carry books on the 2025 banned book list? I’d like to buy as many of them as I can as long as they aren’t the Bible. The gayer and more Jewish the better. #bannedbooks

Frustrating day of trying to get sand casting to work for a project I want to build. Anyone have experience with copper/brass casting without using a vacuum casting machine? My project is probably too ambitious in that I wanted to cast some gears and mini chair parts

Science is one of the greatest gifts given to us as humans. It’s sad that the people that run our country are abandoning it in favor of power. I’m endlessly grateful that this platform exists so that I have a place where it’s still valued. #bluesky

I want a mapping app that gives me suggestions on less awkward places to tie my shoes.

Anyone know where I can get a loan to get some eggs? I just need a dozen and have good credit so maybe I can do a 10 year? Depends on the interest rate I guess.

Remember when we discovered Project 2025 and they tried to gaslight us saying it was a hoax?

I’m middle aged and unsure how this works. Am I not supposed to follow more people than are following me? I want to follow all the people. So many amazing artists here. I’ll just follow everyone. I’ll just do that.

Waking up today excited to find out what new events unfold today in this hilarious alt timeline we are experiencing. Are we buying the Atlantic? Has Trump realized that Greenland is the cold one yet? How’s our new Melania currency doing? Can someone please get the almanac back from Biff already?

But seriously, if Tbag is going to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America I’m going to only refer to Texas and Arizona as “Upper Mexico” from here on out. I’ll also be calling Canada “Greatest America” unless someone has something better.

Has anyone tried setting up their own PDS? I’m thinking about running my own to play with BlueSky’s api a bit.

Painting of the day, 9x12 watercolor on paper. #watercolor #dailypaintings #ontheeasel #sneakpeek #insidemystudio #mixedmedia #abstractexpressionisn #intuitivepainting #paradolia #christylynneseving @christylynneseving #denverartist #coloradoart #abstractart

Today is my birthday. I would love if people could share my art :D

um

I have a new film project that I really love but am still having trouble motivating myself to work on. What do you do to drum up the motivation to start a new project? #art #sculpting #wip #motivation

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

TikToks message thanking Trump for bringing it back up is infuriating for so many reasons. I just deleted the app. I’d rather join RedNote at this point and have an unlimited supply of Mandarin teachers #tiktokban #boycottmeta

The irony of claiming that a ban is for user security from the Chinese government when the Russians were openly using Facebook to manipulate our elections is not lost on me but apparently was lost on our government officials. Sorry Mark, you are the data threat. #banfacebook #boycottmeta

Make no mistake. Even if Trump gets TikTok back up he’s still not your friend. He’s behind this. #toktok

The more I dig into the tech behind BlueSky the more interesting it gets. I’m going to try to create a Personal Data Server and move all my data to it. If I disappear, you know what happened.

Moving off anything Meta and making this my main home. I post art and work that I’m doing from time to time but have never made an effort to get a social media presence. I do however follow a ton of artists and prefer to support a platform that focuses on creators and positive dialog. #boycottMeta

Still a work in progress but coming along nicely. I’m pretty new to painting sculptures but have been getting some good tips from all the miniature painters I follow on here and YouTube’s. #art #sculpture #miniaturepainting #wip

My reincarnation theory is that dogs get to be humans in their next lives which is why they want to be our friends so badly and cats were previously humans which is why they have no real need for us. I too would run around like a maniac playing with my new murder mittens and ejector legs.

Back in town after a week of spending time with family. Looking forward starting my sculpture painting journey. Here’s to hoping I don’t completely mess it up 🤣
