New mixed-media! My first canvas, it measures 2.5' x 2.5'. It was my first time using the Ken Oliver Colorburst watercolour powders. What do y'all think? #catlovers #catart #canvas #mixedmedia

Protostar CB-26 (NIRCam image). Processed by @thocarp.bsky.social www.flickr.com/photos/19746...

This infrared image shows a faint, hazy nebula surrounding the protostar CB-26. The nebula has wispy clouds of red, orange, and white, set against a dark background sprinkled with stars. Two brighter stars shine near the top, and a smaller, redder nebula can be seen at the bottom left.

My #wip. "Peeking Through Winter" My 1st time working with interference colours, produced when light waves interact. This is what produces the pink and blue hues you sometimes find in clear glass. It's also the #physics behind soap bubbles. #art #artist #coloredpencil

Another #colouredpencil video up. I don't think anyone actually watches them since no one likes them, so I guess I'll just keep making them for me. If you're a #physics nerd like me, then maybe you'll like it. #art #fineartist #glass youtu.be/895uWKFPZNs

@philplait.bsky.social While Ron Howard didn't write this, it represents what most of us good, decent humans who still believe in the idea of democracy believe. I know it stands for what *I* believe. I thought you may appreciate this, Phil. The original is included. www.snopes.com/fact-check/r...

No, Ron Howard didn't author 'I'm a liberal' letter

"[The] majority of liberals I know think along roughly these same lines," the letter alleges.

I shared my junk journal this week. Never shared it before, and it's only half-done, but I decided since I'd been designing papers for #scrapbook and #junkjournal, I should probably keep one myself. It's Christmas-themed, but have a feeling around Halloween Ima want to do that. youtu.be/h8t-ueVuZJQ
