So, some things I have enjoyed lately! First and foremost, having a cat in the house. We can't really have our own bc allergies, but I love having a furry guy around at least for short stints, especially as he's mellowed out and is way more snuggly these days

Grey cat with a small white breast patch chilling on a couch cushion. His little pink tongue is out and one of his ears is being scritched, so he's cocked his head to one side and has one eye closed, like he's giving a mischievous wink

I personally think we should be moving toward paying artists to make replicas of many art objects for purposes of repatriation, but accessibility is another great reason to have touchable art objects.

Just finished a book I had high hopes for and idk, I feel like if you write a whole thing about burnout and how people deal with a chronic struggle, you should cite disability scholars beyond the introduction

The “fastest growing Ebola outbreak in history” has spread to Kenya. This is devastating. Thousands have lost their lives at a time when the regime has just made massive cuts to USAID in Africa. It’s important we keep talking about Ebola and ensure those fighting it have the support they need:

Updated my autumn mask chain from all pumpkins to a more diverse set! Not sure yet if I like the combo of solid colours and mixed ones, maybe I'll replace the leaf with something smaller and darker? But I'll wear it for a bit before deciding

A thin metal chain with lobster clasps at each end to go onto a face mask. Four tatted motifs hang from it in regular intervals: a green and brown leaf, an orange pumpkin, a red and white mushroom, and a green and red apple

Today looking up details to correctly cite a scholar I found she's also made some art. #DHMakes This is Interference Pattern II by Frances Rothwell Hughes. She started each square when she had time to embroider and stopped when interrupted by her newborn www.francesrothwellhughes.com/interference...

Detail of textile artwork, showing 6 by 4 squares. Each square shows the same pattern in different stages of completion, ranging from dashes, to diamonds, to a complex geometric pattern filling the entire square.

Framed textile artwork consisting of 4 rows of 25 squares. Each square contains a different number of embroidered stiches in black thread.

Really feel like it's been a summer full of delightful things (with a decent amount of Oh God So Tired in between), continued today by being out birding with friends and seeing two kestrels chill really close to us, and also an apple tree that was almost definitely a fae trap (I did not take any)
