Started unfollowing folks/artists who only ever make posts themselves and never share anyone else. It is called 'social' media for a reason. Otherwise might as well be a blogger 🤷‍♂️ It is about boosting each other, sharing each other.

In a capitalist society, the worst people have the loudest voices and biggest platforms, because the entire system incentivizes abuse, exploitation, and just being terrible human beings overall.

This is a photo of some rocks and sand. It was taken earlier today, with a camera 247,000,000 km away. It was taken on Mars. And now you're looking at it on your screen.
Dusty, red rocks, and red soil. Darker soil in the middle of the image marks where one of the rocks has been displaced.

Sculpting from this week. I want to make more that have clouds like these. Also, finished a bag of buff clay (m340) and decided to switch it up to red brown (m334)! Woo! #art #ceramics

This is a photograph of the edge of one of Saturn's rings, looking down from above. Those spiky dark shapes are shadows. Shadows of giant towers of ice and dust grains clumped together that rise up to three *kilometres* above the 10-m thick rings.
A series of bands cross the image from left to right, brighter at the bottom and darkening towards the top. A band of empty space is at the top of the image. About a quarter down from the top is a complex pattern of jagged, spiky shadows cast onto the rings. The icy towers casting the shadows are seen here at a highly oblique angle.

The MB maple over our patio. Trimmed to make a lovely arch that gives us beautiful shade. When it was young, I loosely wove the six or seven trunks together. It has now begun to grow together into itself/each other. It is also growing through our fence 😈 I wonder what else I could trap in it?
Looking up into the branching boughs of a young Manitoba maple tree that is backlit by the low autumn sun. The leaves are yellowing green, aglow and in shade. A small part of an urban garden. A rain filled metal birdbath sits in front of a faded wowood garden box. Raspberry brambles grow in dark soil. Above that is the trunk of the young maple tree, small 20 centimetre trunks woven together and starting to meld.
