Fuck #AI ads: "Not good at writing? Let AI do the writing for you! Then you'll get worse at writing, so AI will do more of your writing. Let AI tell you what to say, what to do with your free time, where to go for fun. Become a meat sack for the AI to pilot as it hoards server time. It's fun!"
What do people prefer? On Instagram? My art doesn't translate very well to Instagram. It really needs to be seen in person. This is 3ft x 4 ft, and has about 80 tiny people in it. It took me a year and a half to paint. I could either paint things that would look good on IG, or paint the way I want.
Happy #America250 everybody! I hope future generations can look back on this and learn something, because we ain't learned shit yet.
Kudos to #AsapSCIENCE for teaching me the term "anecdata" to describe people conflating anecdotes from scientifically illiterate people with quantitative data from academic studies.

Found a four-leaf clover for the first time in my life today. Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
On the one hand, this is how I feel about Vyvanse. On the other hand, this is how I feel about being trans. All I know for sure is, if you want to change your life, get bottom surgery and take amphetamines.
I see this pattern every day. While conservatives threaten trans lives and jobs, liberals tell us that we're making to much noise and no one will vote for them if we don't stop. Fuck Newsom and any other Democrat ready to throw us under the bus for votes.
You don't need to be a biblical scholar to know Trump commits blasphemy five times before he does his breakfast rail.
I love this idea. For a long time I've said we should have a maximum wage. This is saying that anything over a billion dollars would go directly to the government. Smash #capitalism.
#Christian #nationalism is going to get really interesting when they all start debating about which kind of Christianity they want to be nationalist about. This is exactly how the colonies were when they were first founded, kicking people out for loving Jesus differently.
These #lightning strikes are HUGE. They sound like nuclear bombs exploding miles away, they rumble for 15-20 seconds, waves crashing against one another. I saw one before this that stretched from Columbus to Cincinnati. It's going to be a helluva summer. #ClimateChange
The war with #Iran has always been about beginning Armageddon and ending the world in a strictly biblical sense. If #fundamentalist #Christians are going to try to end the entire world in order to meet God, then they are a bigger danger to every living thing on Earth than any other religion.
The voices of the Iranian #resistance are being silenced by a media which is allowed to interact with #Iran in curated ways. Meanwhile, these people have been fighting and dying for twenty years, and now their fight has been sullied by Trump using them as a pawn. Read what she wrote.
I posted a bunch more #art to my website. At this time I can only accept orders by email. #Abstract #surrealism and a lot of art celebrating the fractal quality of nature and the beauty of chaos. sandrewcullen.wixsite.com/emergent-str...
Reminds me of this painting I made based on a photo I took in Chicago. Following!
#ICE raided a concentration camp to steal the letters of children writing about how they don't like being in the concentration camp. This is abominable. I have no words for how angry I am, and each day it gets worse. I try to maintain perspective, that each nightmare is stacked on previous others.
