If you want to talk about waste, fraud, & abuse, let’s talk about the undercover narc monitoring the reflecting pool scanning civilians’ faces with his phone and calling in 10+ officers to detain a person who as best as I can tell had no idea what they had done wrong (spoiler: nothing).

Chris Hayes can't stop laughing at #DonnieDumbass' insane explanation for what happened to his #algae-filled #swamp:
"If you had a knife, you couldn't even cut it it's so strong. Rubber." - T**** before construction.
"Someone took a knife and cut a 250-300 foot slit (makes cutting motion) across the bottom." (claims he has proof. He doesn't. Slit grows to 350' by next sentence.) - T**** now.

"This week, in one of the most chilling verdicts of our lifetimes, a court in Texas sentenced a group of anti-ICE protestors to decades in prison, mostly for engaging in normal protest activities. Why would a decorative body of water, even a green and reeking one, attract more attention than that?"

You all know that there is a scientific journal devoted to #algae, right? It is open access, running since 1986, peer-reviewed and published by the Korean Society of Phycology. It’s current issue is from June 2026:

Some algae, just hanging around, for no particular reason, in today's #inkyDays drawing. I also made progress on cutting out these cute little penguin drawings.

Again, some lovely algae, for no particular reason, in today's #inkyDays drawing. I took more time than usual with these, and stippled three different inks. The last ink I used has a shimmer to it.

Going more abstract with this algae inspired pattern for today's #inkyDays drawing. I'm loving how these inks are playing together, so I've started a bigger piece on watercolor paper.
Here's an in-progress shot.

I'm really loving this ink combination, and I can't resist playing with it a little more. They remind me of beautiful algae, when combined. In today's #inkyDays drawing, I'm experimenting with a different shape.
Here's an in-progress shot.
The rest is now posted for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi:
