While it’s difficult to avoid the asshats* (and “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” notwithstanding), given Amazon Ireland has launched this week, just remember that every euro you pay them goes toward fucking billionaire Jeff Bezos who is helping Trump dismantle democracy in the US and elsewhere. So please do your best to shop locally – or with smaller EU shops – and avoid Amazon as much as you can.

* I really need to get the media for my Mastodon server off of AWS. Another bloody hassle I don’t need right now. *smdh*

Ross Castle — Killarney.
William Henry Bartlett, from "A Week at Killarney" by Anna Maria & Samuel Carter Hall, London: 1865

One of the brand new paintings for you to enjoy looking at. "Sligo Mountains" was the painting I chose to start off my annual sale and it sold instantly. It is currently being prepared for sending to its new owner.
