I highly recommend kitties for much needed joy in these troubling times. I present to you our middle child, Princess Blair, aka Muppet cat, Blair Bear, Goof Kitty, Ms Fancy Pants.

This is why I make art, have kitties, and plant flowers. If these MFs get pardons, im going to need all the mental health tools I have to cope. 🤬 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Inspired by the times, I recall a Buddhist notion to imagine everything you have is gone. Then, you are able to appreciate it in a whole new way. 🖤Nothing is forever. Time is fleeting. #blueskyartist #painting #artislife #denver #wheatridgeco #fall #leaves

I planted about 7 dozen tulips, 2 lbs of garlic, and three peonies, some spinach, and lettuce, and rearranged some perennials. I was worked for over 7 hours straight, because, damnit, if Dump destroys everything else, I’m going to have some joy in my yard. 🌷✊🏻💙

Reminder to #BlueCrew: Take small actions. Every. Single. Day. Today I emailed the #Oregon #DNC State Party chair asking her and the @ordems.bsky.social delegation to vote @benwikler.bsky.social to be our next DNC Chair. Please use my message as an inspiration to write yours. 💙 We can do this. 👊

We are so fucked. I don’t see us coming back from this. I really hope the magats suffer most.

Can I ask my #bluecrew a question? What are you doing to resist? Aside from -donating , -boycotting, -emailing congress. is there anything else you are doing? How can we make a bigger impact? I welcome any ideas. Feeling helpless. And hearing the world ask why we’re letting this happen🫤

Drawing is a good way to find peace. 💙 #ink #artistofbluesky #bluecrew #art #denver

Geezus. I was just on twatter. They’re nuts. The trumpers are so far up his ass, they’ll never see the light.

‘we had it all’ I’m sad today that our democracy is in danger. This drawing is a depiction of ‘us’ in a dying world, reflecting on our long gone, more hopeful days in the rearview mirror. I feel it all slipping away🥺 #art #ink #bluecrew #denver

RIP democracy

What a fucking, ungrateful, pathetic sellout! If it wasn’t for the LGBTQ community, the Village People wouldn’t have reached their height of popularity and “YMCA” wouldn’t have become such a mega hit. No surprise that this guy happens to be the ONLY original member of the group who WASN’T gay. 🏳️‍🌈
