I own two of Helen's designs and just ordered a third. Great quality, great price, fantastic art. What's not to love?

Look what just came today!! This is an absolutely stunning book and I can't wait to read it @whistberry.bsky.social ❤️❤️

Photo of the front cover of Wren's Aria by Helen Whistberry. It depicts a little wren who appears to have her beak open to sing among bright red poppies. Cover artwork and all illustrations are by the author, and are just beautiful.

A view inside the book at Chapter 21, "A Bit of a Climb." The opposite page shows a 3/4 page, detailed, black and white illustration of a fuzzy bee on what appears to be a globe-shaped flower blossom. The style is very much like an etching and is a lovely fusion of stylized and realistic.

I cannot describe how emotional it feels to be watching #artemisII live. It's surreal... and makes me want to believe in a better future.

Easter is here.

Easter

For years I trusted ruin
was the only beauty.
Now I wake my one son
in the darkness, and carry him
to find the gifts I've hidden.

Three times
I have courted death
in this one life—with whiskey,
with bitter pills, with winter—
my own heart
like a traitor
with its kiss.

No more, no more closing.
Now I stand in morning
with this child
and the blossoms lift
their faces to the radiance.

Love
says two things,
and one is greater:
I would die for you.
I would rise for you,
and live.

—Joseph Fasano

One of my favorite Bluesky artists/writers who has a really unique and beautiful style. I have two of their t-shirts and absolutely love them.

Look what I received just in time for some Halloween spookytime reading! I'm very excited @davidniallwilson.com... I love what I have read so far. 🖤🖤

A book titled "Hickory Nuts and Bones and other uncomfortable tales" by David Niall Wilson. The cover is a highly detailed illustration of a skeleton curled up as if sleeping underground beneath the roots of a large tree. The roots appear to cradle the skeleton.

An excerpt from Hickory Nuts and Bones. It includes a black and white illustration of what appears to be two individuals in hazmat suits and gas masks with insects flying around them. The text begins "The pendant Nicolas wore was a blood-fattened tick sealed in acrylic. It was his own blood, of course."

I remember my head hitting the windshield. The rest is just a blur. I never even saw the car coming. I know I'm slow, but geez, the guy could not have swerved? Is it my fault I flew into a rage? Sure, I usually sedate my prey. I know the law. But Sir, this one had it coming. #horrorprompt 1893

Knowing you was almost #spiritual. A miracle. Belonging. Understanding. Being. Acceptance. Transcendance. But now This cavernous hole in my heart Echoes endlessly. And as I listen Your name Grows ever Fainter. And I curse the silence. #vss365

A spot of essential #ProofOfCat reading.

Me, holding up a copy of Lessons From Cats For Surviving Fascism by Stewart Reynolds in a small LBS in Englandshire.
After taking it I realised I looked like one of those tykes who chooses books in stores then buys from Amazon. So I bought it.

I am the proud owner of an OG Grumpy Bear from 1982 that I have had since I was a teenager. He was the start of my mild obsession with plushies that are a combo of cute and dark. 💙 #justsomestuff

My feisty, opinionated little lady who I was sure would never become a lap cat. #proofofcat #lapcat #catsofbluesky

A tortie kitty is seen from behind, curled up on a soft, fuzzy, gray blankie on her mama's lap. She appears very cozy indeed.

Here's another #PridePetArt... went slightly(?) whimsical with this one 😂 I don't know why, but when I saw the photo from @aspiraldance.bsky.social, I pictured the bowl as a little mini lotus pond complete with a koi. Hope you like it!

A yellow budgie with dark striped pattern on its back feathers and a white budgie are perched on the edge of a speckled dark gray bowl. In the bowl is a mini lotus pond with pink lotus flowers on long green stems, lilypads with droplets of water on them, and a white koi with dark gray and red spots swimming underneath the surface of the water.

New one for the pet portrait challenge I'm doing for #PrideMonth! This one is simply titled "Cabbage is INNOCENT" (or so @franmoldaschl.bsky.social informs me 😂😻) #PridePetArt #cats

Art piece of the digital painting of a tortie kitten standing in an angelic beam of light in the background while observing in the foreground a large house plant with curved and shiny green leaves and bronze-colored pot that has been knocked to the ground. There are bits of dirt lying around from where they got knocked loose from the plant. The kitten looks completely innocent.

I think we should stop calling it a "foster fail." You are a foster who fell in love with your foster kitty and adopted them? I call that a foster WIN!

One year ago tonight, I found myself nearly dead center *inside* of a borderline EF4 tornado as it ravaged Sulphur, OK during a regional outbreak of >30 tornadoes. It is a long read, but here is my story of what happened and what I experienced that night. Grateful every single day to still be here.
