If you were to make a statement about current circumstances in the form of a Sumerian "me/meh/may" (guidelines for a successful civilization) what would it say? In 170 characters.

Round image, overall shape resembles star wars resistance logo. A butterfly winged fairie stands on a mossy surface in front of a mushroom

Watercolor and marker drawing of a flower of life above a lotus flower above some matrix style strings of binary code. The background is built up from heavy black lines.

Part of that is that the trump regime is a cult, and cults develop their own vocabulary and their own meanings for established words. Since, in this case, the cult is so large, we are actually approaching a snowcrash/Tower of Babylon moment.

"We the people" outnumber the frosty brigade 11000:1
Just saying.

Black and white ink drawing that started as an exercise for drawing small things like butterflies and mushrooms and escalated to bold "fuck ice" due to current events.

Simple line drawing of caricaturized Donald Trump face down with a tent spike in his rear end and a giant hammer inscribed with "we the people" aiming at the spike. A guy rope is securing a sales booth to the tent spike. The sales booth shows a sign saying "USA close out sale" and displays various baskets displaying honor, respect, integrity, freedom, equality and the constitution for sale.

Picture puzzle showing an equation between a pizza crust and a gnome on one side and a set of bird legs and a garden hoe on the other.

Painting of a woman's face in speckled greens with vines and flowers for hair, wearing planet earth as an earring. A Phoenix sits on her shoulder, which is crowned by trees engulfed in a forest fire. A yellow dragon's head rests on the top of her head, above a tidal wave that embraces a raven that sits on a skull. Next to the raven is a cluster of amethyst. Gaia is facing the left side of the canvas where a mossy tree is growing some ethereal mushrooms. The tree's roots end in claws. Various beings are hintet at in the dark/negative spaces of the painting.

"mother of titans and monsters; a reminder"
I utilize my pareidolia for my paintings, starting with a very thin umber and playing with the puddles, after that I spend days painting what I see. Soon I realized "hey, it's Gaia". that's perfect. she does absolutely have the last word in all things.

Folks, a pill to swallow: if current Democrats will cave to your healthcare, they will cave to your voting rights. If they will cave to you not getting paid for 40 days, they will cave to LGBTQ+ marriage. If they cave to stalling our airplanes, they will cave to destroying our National Parks.

Seawitch mask. Hand sculpted, carved and painted out of leather. The base color is a deep sea green. The mask is heavily textured with gold paint spikes, and the overall design is reminiscent of a blue ring octopus

AND propaganda. Memes always have been tools of propaganda AND activism. A meme is information in an easily replicated and passed on format. The Bible, for instance, is a collection of memes.

Is it just me, or does the marble look like it is actually stick on vinyl?

Honestly it's more than a little frustrating that a prominent Israeli politician just told one of the most hawkish Israeli media publications that the United States dictates Isrseli strikes in an ongoing genocide and it is getting absolutely zero attention.

Many years ago I made it through a summer on 6 spinach plants, a dozen kale plants, a flat of ramen (per week), a flat of eggs (per month )and an occasional smoked chicken, plus whatever crawdads I could pull out of the river. It wasn't great but it kept me and my 3yo alive.

There's a middle ground here. Planting now so you can eat tomorrow is a bunch of bollocks.
But! The situation isn't going to get better by not doing anything. Even a little balcony planter will eventually result in a food pellet you've grown, and that can improve one's day tremendously.

What you can plant now: garlic, onions, taters, greens, brassicas, fava beans, fruit trees.
When you can eat them: most of these next spring and summer. The trees are gonna take a minute.
I know, I'm being facetious.

Looks like you have a solution already, just in case: if you have a wood stove, put a rock on it during the day, wrap it in a towel when they're ready 4 bed and stick it in the foot end of the bed. Nice and warm, not so hot that it would burn skin, keeps the heat for a long time, infinitely reusable

FACEBOOK ARMY MOBILIZE!!! Get this info to protesters in all areas, particularly San Francisco. This is the pattern for the impact munitions resistant body armor I made in 2020 for the Portland BLM protests. It will stop pepper balls, baton rounds, clubs and other blunt weapons/munitions. Here's how you make it: Acquire plastic barrels, in 55 gallon size. You can usually find sellers on Craigslist for pretty cheap. Most often you'll see them advertised for rain collection or whatnot. Use a handheld scroll saw to cut the pieces out, and a blowtorch or scotch Brite grinding wheel to deburr the edges. To form them better to fit the body, I originally used a heat gun to soften the plastic and make it more pliable, bend it to shape and then cool it rapidly in a storage bin full of water, but eventually switched to putting the pieces into a 200 degrees (Fahrenheit) oven for 15 minutes. From there you shape them as rapidly as possible (I recommend oven mitts), and then quench to cool the plastic and set the shape. Glue foam floor mat to the inside for additional shock absorption and assemble with straps. I used leather myself, as I work leather as a hobby and generally have some lying around. I used Chicago screws to attach them, and Loctite to secure the threads, but really the attachment and assembly method isn't a hard line to make these work, so use whatever method you prefer. You can also get these barrels in black or white (I used white to make armor for medics).

Image of detail on the moth wing.

This shows some of the details on the flowery vines.

Details on the lace veil

Image of the whole painting. It shows a secluded flower of life behind a lace veil and flowery vines. A deathshead hawkmoth takes the foreground. I primarily used sepia adjacent tones throughout the painting.

Not saying that I'm over my art-block, but here's my first painting in over a year. It's not super cheerful or extra spiffy on technique, but it IS. #artsky #painting

Bingo!

😂😂😂

Unicorn riot

Oh, good 👍

Hand sculpted Raven skull headband/crown made from leather. Predominantly black, some red, and gold highlights.

It's finished

Ah, yes, that would be potentially awkward to herd through booths. Maybe next time. (If you hear the kids screaming "EARS, mama, EARS" and then they tear off towards a booth, it's probably us)

I guess that should have been "biz"

Cool 😎 you may have met my bis partner and his booth crew 😁 "fae built inc" ring a bell?
