The sunflower from last week opened fully a few days ago. In September, at the flower, I crossed paths with a couple of resting bumble bees. This October, a sweat bee. #Garden #Sunflower #PlantSky 🪴

A highly reflective yellow flower with a dark center glowing in the late afternoon sun.

A small metallic green bee with a prominently striped abdomen lands on the sunflower’s rays and crawls towards the center.

Nibs and ink. Ink and nibs. Practice. Practice. Practice. #Art #PenAndInk #InkSketch

A collection of hand-drawn lines that vary greatly in width.

An assemblage of short marks, all connected to one another through a long, meandering line.

An assortment of hatch marks, each a unique weight and orientation.

A gathering of circles, divided up by lines of variable thickness.

A quick study for a larger project. 🌳

Only grew one sunflower to maturity this year. It should finish opening soon! The garden’s in rough shape after the summer drought (and the Anise Hyssop smothered a lot of the other plants; it’s a lovely native species, but it does not play nice with others, at least in my conditions).

I’m trying out another new nib this weekend. It works on a similar principle to those glass dip pens you see in Instagram Reels, but it has a bullet-shaped silhouette; you can vary the line weight by holding the pen closer to or further from horizontal. #Kakimori #PenAndInk #Art #InkSketch #DipPen

A small piece of paper covered in a variety of ink marks and sketches.

Three dip pens from top to bottom: a glass pen covered in colorful patterns, a Kakimori pen with a bullet-shaped nib, and a manga pen with a G nib.

A couple of family members brought the tiny jam jar back for me when they went on vacation. The jam was delicious and the jar has come in handy as an ink well. #Art #PenAndInk

A small jar of black ink, a dip pen with a G nib, an acorn, and the final line drawing. The sketch depicts variable texture and form through a variety of hatching techniques.

Admittedly, it has been a long time since I’ve picked up a pen. The most difficult part is almost always getting started, and this, I believe, stems partially from my perfectionistic tendencies. #Drawing

What is tiny but has a PLANET-sized influence? Sphagnum of course. A 🧵 on why this moss matters more than ever. Holding more than 20× its dry weight in water, halting decay, shaping entire ecosystems, thwarting fire. Never underestimate a moss. 1/

Four months after Congress reversed a ban on mining over about 350 square miles in the watershed of the northeastern Minnesota wilderness, Gov. Tim Walz has issued a state executive order to block copper-nickel mining in the area.

A huge win for the Boundary Waters!! 💙 Gov. Tim Walz just signed an executive order to halt new state permitting and leases for copper-sulfide mining in the Rainy River Watershed. The DNR will also draft a permanent mining ban. Minnesota is fighting back.

This is alarming: ICE will spend $20M on electric shock gloves for its agents. This comes as ICE whistleblowers continue warn of new recruits' lack of training and violent backgrounds. Meanwhile the social safety net is gutted — just to funnel billions to Trump's masked thugs.
