It's been a chaotic time to be an artist. Now that Canada has a trade agreement with China, it's only a matter of time before Trump ends free trade.

If you're American and been eyeing a piece, now's probably the time.

I know times are tough, but if you could help with a share, it'd mean so much.

Made me laugh, and brought back fond memories of my best friends’ adolescent boys and their Axe journey.

This was hilarious, Thank you, Dahlia Lithwick!

Thank you @captmarkkelly.bsky.social for visiting SC. Please know you are welcome anytime.

What a funny series!!

Probably my most enduring political belief: you shall not think that some other person or group is fundamentally different from you. This belief is the worst combination of easy to fall into and corrosive in every way.

My painting ORANGE POPPIES

🌱Amazing when they all go off.

Agapanthus Twisty against the blue of Hydrangea Zorro. And behind Zorro is a Little Limelight.

It’s a bit… congested? Of a riot? Lovely? Yeah…

Oops, meant “water”!

Love! The sunlit wat is wonderful.

A black and white cat with intense yellow eyes stares directly at the camera with a suspicious expression, sitting upright on a green surface. It looks like it knows your darkest secret.

I know what you did :3

This is outrageous. Speaking truth to power evidently leads to being assaulted these days.

My photo taken in 2023 shows a black and white mosaic in the entrance passage of the House of Paquius Proculus at Pompeii depicting a chained black dog crouching in front of an open door. The dog wears a red studded collar. It looks alert, with its mouth open to show a red tongue and teeth. The mosaic door to which the dog is chained is decorated with a spear and a shield, and the mosaic door which is ajar is decorated with a double axe head. A partial view of the atrium of the house can be seen from the entrance passage.

A very good boy guarding his family home for 2,000 years! 🐾

Watching this YouTube video will plant a forest YouTube video by Beau Miles

This guy has such a fine idea. He has a YouTube video about planting trees, and will be buying trees to plant with the revenue gained from watching the video. And by the way, it’s charming so here you go, go watch it, and plant a tree in Australia
