On the other hand… Or: (That being said…)

I am back on my blog dependent of a complete lack of interest. I have shared countless words, thousands of photos, my art and music, and personal stories of my life. This place used to be jumping. Now, well, it … Continue reading

No, humans, I did not give up on you and return to my home amongst the stars, even though your inexplicable manner of governance is, frankly, a disgrace to ‘intelligent lifeforms’ everywhere and I despair over the fact that some of you have gone straight from ‘climate change is a hoax’ to ‘well, turns out the rest of you were right, but we’re already screwed because it is too late to fix it now, so lets make more money before we all die’, and so I have decided to stick around and see how you all plan to get out of this mess, regardless of the emotional toll it will take upon me as I watch the erosion of so many brilliant human ideas about liberty and justice and humanity, about caring for each other, respecting each other, living in peace and harmony, slowly erode away, battered by the forces of greed, power and violence, as one crazy orange idiot- truly the worst human I have ever paid attention to, and I have been here for thousands of years- dances around the bonfire in which burns the very soul of the human dream of a better future.

Sorry, the title was so long, I don’t have anything else to say… except that I am back. I was removed from wordpress for a while for some reason, but I didn’t even notice. I have been off line because … Continue reading

The diary of an entirely-unprepared and thoroughly-over-enthusiastic insurrectionist… part 3 (Or), Can someone please direct me to the nearest riot, I’m new here…

My second attempt to join the revolution was a spectacular success, from a personal point of view, but I would really like to protest with some other people. I went with a minimal load of protest gear. These are still … Continue reading

The diary of an entirely-unprepared and thoroughly-over-enthusiastic insurrectionist… part 2 (Or), How I ended up standing all alone early this morning out front of the Portland City Hall, wearing a dark cloak and a home-made Statue Of Liberty mask…

Today was my second official protest in downtown Portland. I mean official to me, not to anyone official. I stood outside City Hall with… ummm… Nobody. And I did research this time. Turns out that ‘ongoing’ protests do not actually … Continue reading

So, I moved to Portland, Oregon recently, and today, I joined my first protest against tyranny, standing shoulder to shoulder with those on the front lines, right outside the ICE Headquarters Building! (Or); The diary of an entirely-unprepared and thoroughly-over-enthusiastic insurrectionist.

I was excited, and a little bit apprehensive, but I drove downtown, and approached this bastion of evil. This might have been the single most anticlimactic moment of my life. It was an intimidating building, but only if you looked … Continue reading

A series of acrylic and watercolor paintings that I did in just five days so that I could mail them to my daughter Mollie for her upcoming Halloween party with her fancy new emergency room nurse and doctor friends…

I think maybe Zombie Yoda will be as popular as my Christmas ninja! I call that one ‘Witch Fire”. That was going to be the spirit of a peaceful wave, but I added a tiny city poised for annihilation. You … Continue reading

An open letter to the republicans…

Dear republicans. You can no longer call yourselves the party of ‘law and order’.You don’t get to shout “lock her up” at tRump rallies, knowing absolutely no facts about what she did, and whether or not it was actually illegal, … Continue reading

Stuff… and things…

On the sidewalk outside where I work, I noticed these leaf impressions. My theory is that something in the leaves was leached out by all the rain. But the leaves must have been stuck to the ground for a while … Continue reading

I have been doing… uh… stuff… part 1…

I realize that I have been neglecting you. Since my mom passed away, I have been a little unartistic… which is, you must admit, strange for me. But between working and family stuff, I did manage to make it to … Continue reading
