Step One: Do I even remember how to draw these characters? 20 years later and I nerd to see how far off I am on day one, since I'll need to draw at least one page to finish this children's book. Let's start with this turtle guy. #art

Over 20 years ago I wrote and drew a children's book. I dont know why I didn't at the the time but I think it's time to finish it. I'll post my progress as I get it ready for Amazon. #art #books #kids

Extending Trump's tax cuts will cost $3.5 trillion over a decade.

This is why Trump wants to cut Social Security.

So he can take a lifetime of earned benefits away from working people and gift them to the rich.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

It's time to start pointing out that making fun of old people isn't okay. For some reason, even though society started realizing that making fun of people for their race, nationality, gender, etc was not okay - elderly people are apparently fair game. Which is really odd to me, since everyone - if you are LUCKY - will eventually become old.
