They'll "hold a summit to discuss what to do"?!?!? You don't need to discuss this: you stole art - give it back!!
Focusing on core competence and outsourcing the rest has made U.S. companies lean, nimble and productive. It has also left lots of people worse off.
Happy “fuck-blue-collar-workers” day :/

Storms & their effects have been on my mind lately. The scale & gestural application of paint in this work captures the fury and magnitude of a storm system.
[image description: oil painting using of a storm system in a canyon, viewed from the edge of a the canyon rim. The brushstrokes are large and gestural, giving the feeling of winds whipping. The storm is in a rain column, with huge swaths of clouds spreading out from the center.]
If you want to help those affected by the disaster, here are some suggestions.
Pulling for you, Texas! This article has several links for ways to donate and help the people and animals impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
please stay safe Texas citizens!!
Here is a website that has a bunch of information and tips on how to survive a hurricane: http://www.haveahurricaneplan.com/guide.pdf …. this thing is supposed to last throughout the whole weekend so I highly suggest Texas residents take a look at it. Even though y'all are most likely prepared….. I hope the good people of Texas are able to survive this and don’t forget to protect your pets as well!!!
The Gulf of Mexico has waters of about 80 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. Similar to Katrina, when Tropical Storm Harvey started approaching closer the weak winds met hot ocean water creating a monster storm.
Everyone along the coast line stay safe. This storm could be worse than they were expecting. You all have a few hours to seek shelter. Make sure you have supplies for weeks ahead. You could be without power or access to other resources for weeks. I’ll be praying for all of you. 1-800-527-3907 this is the number for the national guard along the coast.
Careful down there :(

My sister found her old Gameboy Color & a bunch of games the other day! Can’t stop playing Super Mario Deluxe… 😂😍
[image description: photo looking down at several items laid out on a table. From left to right: gameboy games in two rows of four, two gameboy color chargers with plugs, two attachable lights, connector cables, a green gameboy color and a game case with a pokémon on the cover.]
Otter! Did this several months ago with a ballpoint pen :)
Can’t believe I did this almost four years ago! #tbt

"I can hear the birds," she said. "Listen, Dad." Nat listened. Muffled sounds came from the windows, from the door. Wings brushing the surface, sliding, scraping, seeking a way of entry. The sound of many bodies, pressed together, shuffling on the sills. Now and again came a thud, a crash, as some bird dived and fell. "Some of them will kill themselves that way," he thought, "but not enough, never enough."

Song porcelain has been discovered as far south as South Africa, at excavations of the Mapungubwe kingdom. Archeologist Kris Hirst describes how trade goods excavated at Mapungubwe in South Africa’s north included, “Chinese celadon ceramics dated to the Song (1127-1279 AD), Yuan (1279-1368 AD) or early Ming (1368-1644 AD) dynasties of China were recovered from the site”. She writes that, “Reanalysis of beads and celadon pottery found at Mapungubwe and the related site of K2…suggests that some of them date to the early Ming Dynasty, suggesting that Mapungubwe cannot have been abandoned until the 14th or early 15th centuries AD, opening up the possibility that these reflect contact via the travels of the Chinese explorer Zheng He.”
