Meet me in Kansas City, cause art is salvation AND an act of resistance! 💥

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This story is bananas.

"A team including current and former employees of Musk assumed command of OPM on Jan. 20 ... They have moved sofa beds onto the fifth floor of the agency's headquarters, which contains the director's office and can only be accessed with a security badge or a security escort."

KC Film making friends. I am putting together a monthly workshop where we can gather and mess with gear, talk shop and create images and friendships. It most likely will be on Sunday afternoon. Hit me up with your info if you would like to be a part.

Science proves that creating art, whether good or not, is an effective stress reliever. The impact on our brain is similar to meditating.

So, I am shamelessly promoting my current workshop schedule. Find my 2025 live workshops and my recorded courses on my website: crystalneubauer.com/home.html

Both trump and the VP were in my following list. Some people are reporting they had to remove multiple times because they kept reappearing in their lists.

Executive order on day one, ending birthright citizenship. The cruelty is the point.

Trump tonight on Elon Musk: "He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like, in a landslide. So it was pretty good. Pretty good. So thank you to Elon."

They’re working to shut it down, but Meta is prompting me to add a TikTok link to my profile.
And a Facebook friend says they got a similar message on her TikTok prompting her to add an instagram link to her profile there.
Anyone want to take a crack at what kind of trickery they’re up to?

Meet me there?

Facebook and Instagram both down as of less than an hour ago. Didn't this just happen a month or so ago? Always makes me wonder WTF is happening behind the Meta curtain.

Reminder: all of these people requested pardons.

Agreed. And as for the setting precedent—trump pardoned his daughter’s father in law last time around and has now nominated him for ambassador to France.

Post by Charlotte Clymer: Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to: "I actually don't know the science at all or have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long held view of the world and it's very uncomfortable and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort."

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

Idiocracy Update: The dude from "Road Rules" has been nominated for Secretary of Transportation.

I'm not joking.

And my feed is all the better for it!

I need to dig my copy out of storage and actually read it this time.

Fabulous composition and colors!

Art gives us a voice to say what we cannot find the words to say. Art is an act of resistance.
