T-Rex: And suddenly people from all over could contact us, but at least they had to buy a stamp.
Dromiceiomimus: But then we invented emails! Fully electric mails!
T-Rex: And that was FREE, but at least they all came to one place. But then we invented DMs!

T-Rex: Now people can direct message us on approximately infinity different platforms!
Utahraptor: Eugh!

T-Rex: And I have neither the time nor inclination to be handling infinity things on infinity platforms! From now on, talk to me in real life, send me a text or an email, and that is IT. I'm done, Utahraptor! I'M DONE.
Utahraptor: Right there with you, bud!

kind of a disappointing read (her answers, not the article itself). it feels like the wrong lessons were learned: "spend more time campaigning!" instead of "take a harder left stance"

Black and white art. a bunch of small birds noisily chasing after a big eagle which is rushing away from them down towards the bottom of the page. 
This is bird mobbing: the behavior where small prey Birds en masse attack a predator like a hawk or an eagle. By rushing at the predator making lots of noise they can often scare the predator away and occasionally kill it. see the link in the next post. 
The link above is to the artist's shop if you want to buy a print of this art.

Photo shows a sketchbook sitting open on a wooden desk easel. The sketchbook shows a painting created with gouache paint, an opaque watercolor medium. The painting depicts a nature scene of a pathway between large redwood trees on a sunny day with bright light shining through green leaves.
