Otherplace: Boone November 10, 2015 Tina looks out the window of the BART train as the scenery of the East Bay rolls by. The day is dark and dreary, and I can tell by the way she keeps touching her finger against her lower lip that she wants to have a cigarette. She will have to wait until we get to our destination....

Managed to get a little bit of art time in the past few days. I'm rather pleased with this one. (As always, click on it for the bigger version.)

Fuck ICE. Fuck fascism. Fuck genocide. Fuck bigotry. Fuck charismatic liars. Fuck cowards who preach violence. Fuck fearful little men. Fuck hatred as religion. Fuck terror as a weapon. Fuck cancer of the body. Fuck cancer of the soul. Fuck you if you steal away the dignity of others. Fuck me if I stand aside to let...

Otherplace: Boone November 7, 2015 “There’s something remarkably sad about a website that belongs to a person who is dead,” Tina says. Her bare feet are up on the dashboard of my car, the window cracked so that she can periodically ash her cigarette out of it. I don’t let anyone smoke in my car, but Tina is the...

It's okay not to watch every video that captures every bit of brutality that is being brought to bear upon the people of America (or the world, for that matter). It's okay not to read every news article. It's okay not to listen to every news story. If you don't take a break sometimes from all of the madness that you...

Dear Viola: It’s ridiculously cold when I get up this morning. The weather app on my phone tells me that it’s -6 out there, but if you factor in the wind, you’re looking at a -19 day, give or take. This is, I am told by locals, No Biggie. One of them has told me that his mother remembered when -40 wasn’t uncommon....

Hello from Maine, where the low in two days is predicted to be -9 degrees. That's an improvement over the forecast from a few days back, when they were saying -11. Let's don't talk about wind chill. If you don't talk about it, maybe it won't show come around. Oh, hello there, estimated snow accumulation of sixteen...

I follow a lot of traditional artists and photographers online, and I have to say: when I see them, in between posts of their actual human-made illustrations and photographs, starting to post images they've created using AI--even when they label those images as "created with AI" and aren't trying to hide the fact--I...

I understand abstractly that the Internet is a global thing (world wide web and all; it’s right there in the name), but wherever I check the analytics page of my account and see where the eyeballs are coming from, it’s a little bit crazy to me. Who are you folks on the other side of the world? No, seriously: who ARE...

Dear Seb, I am here in my living room, and I’m trying to not read any more news today. I am worn to a nub from all that is going on out there in the world, abroad and at home. Certainly there’s always been a sense of the horrors that are going on globally, because that has never stopped being a thing, but at least...
