Well that’s one way to fix our gerontocracy

I get pissed when I go to children’s bookstores. All of the new children’s books are just about navel gazing stuff adult millennials learned in therapy. Kids don’t want to read about having self-esteem. My kid wants stories about witches and skeletons and worms. Is that too much to ask for?

My two year old is a very adventurous and enthusiastic eater. I made a kale lentil salad yesterday and I told him it had feta and olives and he acted like I’d said gumdrops and sprinkles?? He ate it up!

Yay!! 🎉🥳 I hope it continues to grow here. I haven’t really tried sharing my art here yet.

Obviously when I do this I am paying homage to the GOAT William Hawkins too. More paintings with big names on them please.

I’ve started signing my name bigger on paintings, not only because I think it’s something that woman painters should do, but also because I like the look of text. I would like to come up with some more creative ways to do it, hopefully to integrate it into the image in a way that would confuse AI.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

The other day I went to wake up my almost 2 year old and I was wearing a softball sweatshirt that had cartoon flames on it and the first thing he said to me was “oof! Careful! Burn yourself!”

Hello, my name is Jane Dashley and I’m a mom to a toddler and working as an artist in Dallas, Texas 🐇✨👋
