Apparently my "Freedom 55" will be dying in the Canadian insurgency. Did not have that on my life bingo card. Forever a Bluenoser. GenX. Divorced. Buddhist. Etsy Shop: https://jvlartca.etsy.com Buy Me a Coffee?: www.buymeacoffee.com/nereid71hi

My family lived in the US for many years under an H-1B Visa. We paid taxes. My ex helped to expand the city we lived in. We birthed two children in outrageously priced hospitals. We dined out, shopped in stores, went on day trips, traveled, etc. We contributed greatly to the US.
One of the best I've seen this year.
I do not recognize the arbitrarily self-appointed authority of Criminal in Chief Trump, Hegseth, Noem, or any others over me or my country. ✊️🍁🇨🇦

YouTube algorithms often decide when I'm overdue to listen to certain musicians. Lately, it's pushing Radiohead, NIN
... and Whitney Houston.
Most of the white is actually very reflective silver its not as horrific as it looks in this picture.

Hot Topic, 2026 #mixedmedia #collage I love cats, vampires, and Studio Ghibli, so a lot of my casual clothes are from Hot Topic which satisfies that Venn Diagram. This was made from their bags and promotional material. Still needs work. #blueskyart #art #upcycle #nbartist
I recently watched usually super serious Charles Dance play the most over the top campy role I have ever seen him play in the absolutely stupid Space Truckers movie and found out he asked for the role. Sometimes its just fun to be silly.
I like to drink my wine the civilized way ... in a mug.
New glasses, and weirdly for the first time ever in my life, I don't have to take them off to comfortably read or look at my phone. That's gonna be a hard habit to break.
Moved quite a few times in my lifetime & I don't think I'd bother with moving large furniture long distance again, unless they're heirlooms. In the move from ON to NB I rented a UHaul - I'm not a great driver, my father flew out and drove. I hired a professional moving team to load the truck.
I'd like to know why my body keeps insisting that 3:30 am is the perfect time to be wide awake knowing full well I have a full hard day ahead of me. Why?!?
.../2 Things have been happening so fast and getting forgotten just as fast, as well as buried in propaganda I think its important to document things as we see them. Plus having a separate journal keeps the gloom and doom out of my happy art book.

A rough portrait of Ayatollah Ali Khamenu who at the time I stared this was not confirmed dead. It is headlined "WAR FEBRUARY 28 2026". The following things were added throughout the day. "The United States and Israel commences strikes against Iran."; "Iran targets countries and US bases in: Dubai, UAE, Qatar Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait."; "Trump accuses Iran in meddling in US elections"; "United States: Ayatollah Maker / Ayatollah Slayer/Make Regimes Great Again"; "school in Iran hit killing 108", "commenters on social media enthusiastically missile IDs as they speed to kill thousands"
Two recent entries in my "Diary at the End of the World" project, something I started to mentally deal with the US admin, environmental collapse, rise of AI etc. The pages are very small which is great for quick little sketches. .../1. #watercolour #journal #blueskyart #nbartist #sketch #mentalheath
You (and your wife) and a number of other friends were definitely also on my mind when I read and reposted that. No one should be going through this. 💔
I beg beg beg any and all medical professionals, take your female patients' complaints seriously. I'm close to 20 years of "anxiety" and now struggle to breathe and am so weak I have days I can barely stand.
Me too!
The Onion's CEO's partner is currently facing federal indictment for protesting ICE detention facilities in Chicago.
Fun fact about my kids, they had the same due date, February 20. One was born February 9, the other March 1st.
This will be another prop for the reason ti suspend or restrict voting this year

22 years ago today, this kiddo made a dramatic entrance into my life. She was an amazing dancer, & is now a brilliant student. She is a confident & fiercely independent young woman. She is the light of our family. My heart aches she is so far away. Happy Birthday, baby girl.
They're more likely to tell you you have anxiety and its in your head. Anxiety is the new hysteria.
I back that up.
Also, they're like Pokémon, you can't have just one, your body's gotta collect them all! It seems all the rage.
Yes, I agree. However, I am noticing a particular and peculiar obsession amongst the "brosphere" influencers politicians with respect to Meditations and Aurelius and he is "name-dropped" or quoted obsessively.
A family, (father, mother, baby and black and white dog) walksthrough a dark forest, a bright flashlight lighting their way. Mysterious white Xs mark some of the trees. A frightening creature lurks in the trees.

Finn and Iggy were my favourite characters, and I learned about the Rabbit hole that is The Book of Invasions

Yellow pillow and sheet decorated with orange tabby cats, white and pink flowers, and green leaves.
Since all my #cat does is sleep, and how many pictures do we need of him sleeping, for #caturday I present my cheery cat bedding.

Watching Youtube videos on my TV while also watching other YouTube videos on my phone. Need an intervention.
I had a Maine Coon once when I was a kid and she had the best personality. Her name was Tricky-Woo, like Mrs Pomfrey's dog on All Creatures Great and Small, and she was just as spoiled.
