Pa'ashi means "big water" in the Yokut language. I found that out while looking for pics of Tulare Lake.

I wanted to draw another fun pic of Michael exploring his Yokut heritage. So I picked a fun topic; the Tule Reed boats that the tribe made. And the fact that Pa'ashi or Tulare Lake (depending on what you call it) was super big made it easy to draw the background.

Ladies please reblog with what your signs will say

Dear Editor,

The mission of the nonpartisan League of Women Voters has been singular and unwavering for more than 100 years: to uphold and protect our democratic system, and to ensure the right of every American to vote. Upholding our cherished democratic system means preserving our Founding Fathers’ genius invention, consisting of three co-equal branches of government regulated by a system of checks and balances. This system of government has persisted for nearly 250 years, and has resulted in the most productive society in the history of the world.

Many Americans expected change and some upheaval when Donald Trump began his second term as president. Each new president will of course attempt to shape the country into his or her vision of what it should be, and candidate Trump was very clear about his intentions to do things differently. Change is what the voters wanted and change was the reason he was voted back into the White House.

We at the League of Women Voters of Tulare County respect the voters’ decision in 2024. However, as an organization whose mission is the preservation of our democratic system, we believe that many of the new administration’s aggressive actions are indeed threats to the democracy we cherish. While many of the changes President Trump wants could have been done through the legislative process, respecting the system of checks and balances, the administration instead has chosen to unilaterally begin dismantling our governmental institutions and norms through executive orders. This shock-and-awe approach has been quick, but ignores the rule of law. This leaves only the judicial system between our democracy and an autocracy.

This is not some far-off threat. The administration’s actions are impacting us locally. Grant applications have been frozen and funding has been cut to local nonprofit organizations. Severe spending cuts are proposed to Medi-Cal, affecting the more than 300,000 people (about 62% of our total population) who qualify in Tulare County. In addition, 1.5 million residents in the San Joaquin Valley are on Medi-Cal.

Food assistance programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that was recently received by over 126,000 people in Tulare County (of which 2/3 were children) are also threatened with cuts. According to CAfoodbanks.org, SNAP brought $193 million in 100% federally funded benefits to Tulare County in 2018. This created about $346 million in total economic activity, supporting 1,900 Tulare County jobs by providing markets for farmers and customers for retailers.

In response to one of the latest executive orders, “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” Celina Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of the League of Women Voters of the United States said: “Let’s keep it real: this order is not about protecting elections; it is about making it harder for voters — particularly women voters — to participate in them. … This executive order is an assault on our republic and a dangerous attempt to silence American voters. The President continues to overstep his authority and brazenly disregard settled law in this country. To be very clear — the League of Women Voters is prepared to fight back and defend our democracy.”

LWV Tulare County will do all we can right here in our community to defend our democracy, and in particular to ensure that voting rights are protected. As a show of strength and solidarity, we will join the “Hands Off!” Protest being organized by With Visalia and others on April 19 at Mooney and Caldwell from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We urge all citizens and other organizations to join us. Our community is strong. Let’s band together to defend and protect it.

Our sign will say “Hands Off Our Voting Rights!" What will your signs say?

Tw: Talk of crying, raising an animal for slaughter

Y'all, I have fair this coming week so I may not be as active, but to those who did FFA, 4-H, or raised an animal for a project only for it to be put to slaughter later on (as in like, you raised the animal for it to get bought and killed for meat) how did you cope with that knowledge that the animal you raised and spent a bunch of time with is going to get sent off to be killed? The sale is literally a week from now but here I am crying about it because I'm really realizing that these are the last days I'm gonna be with my pig.

“It sounds like the sea and approaches the size of Lake Tahoe. Its wind-driven waves are unexpectedly silky and warm. Tulare Lake seems to go on forever on the immense brown and green flat of California’s Central Valley, shimmering like a great blue mirage.

Three months have passed since the lake, which dates to the Ice Age, re-emerged in the basin that once held the largest body of freshwater west of the Mississippi River. Dammed dry by humans, it has periodically attempted a comeback, though rarely with the force seen after this winter’s storms.

First a trickle, then a flood, the water that coursed into the lake bed over a handful of months swallowed one of the nation’s largest and most valuable stretches of cropland in about the time it takes to grow a tomato. Thirty square miles, then 50. Then 100. Then more.

Now, at the onset of summer, Tulare Lake sits at about 168 square miles, trapped by thousands of acres of clay soil and the lack of a natural outlet, so big that it is best tracked by satellites. Caused initially by climate-amplified sheets of rain over the riversheds coursing through the Sierra Nevada, it is being fed by the melting snowpack that piled up in the mountains to near-record levels.

Detours and roadblocks bedeck its shores. Chemicals, manure and diesel pollute it. Palm trees and power poles poke from its surface. Day brings dragonflies. Dusk brings mosquitoes. Flocks of birds are settling in — swallows, wrens, ducks, egrets, chattering red-winged blackbirds.”

This Inktober is going to be a little different. With work, responsibilities, and a lot of physical limitations, I’ll be sharing new work, along with old classics, and some previously made but not yet released pieces! Thanks as always for following along!

This piece may look familiar, it’s about a year old, but not widely released.
