Raqefet Cave in Israel was a sacred burial site for the hunter-gatherer culture known as the 'Natufians' around 13,000 years ago. More recently, we've also discovered here the earliest evidence of BEER BREWING from grains. Even more remarkable because these people HADN'T INVENTED AGRICULTURE YET.

According to the authors of a new study, the discovery marks the earliest-known evidence of beer production among ancient peoples

A Common Yellowthroat that was plucking tiny insects off the cattail reeds. I'm not sure what kind of insect, but there's one on the reed that's above his tail feathers. Maybe an ant?

I don't remember much about James Cameron's 2009 "Avatar" movie. The main character was... Jack? But I remember the Hallelujah Mountains, floating islands of rock wreathed in fog. Here's the park that inspired them: Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Hunan Province, China. Let's talk about it.

Occasionally, enough volunteer flowers show up in the backyard for me to make a little arrangement. Kinda fun, nice to look at.

A small arrangement of rudbeckia (black eyed susans) and blue lobelia flowers. Their yellow and purple petals contrast vibrantly with the green leaves and stems. They're standing in a water-filled glass jar, which has been upcycled with light blue tissue paper and butterfly stickers.

'You have to practice finishing things' was such a shift in my approach to learning art. If you're constantly starting over, you get skilled at starting things and everything else atrophies. You train yourself to never be satisfied. I know never being satisfied is a huge stereotype of artists...

What video game changed your life? Several games I could answer this with, but I'll say Stardew Valley. Made by a solo creator following his heart, a project evolving as he grows and learns – now a staple of cozy gaming. Charming world that I've spent a lot of time in, grateful to pick veggies!

To elaborate: Sapphic is used as a term to describe the attraction of women or women-aligned people to women or women-aligned people, taken from a famous woman who wrote about love for women AND men. If she did truly write of loving women at all, given how little still survives.

I never realized that both Betty White and Dolly Parton never had children. Two bad ass, completely beloved, hard working women. As a child free femme myself, I am empowered to see such people make their mark and legacy without adding more people to the earth. We are so much more than our bodies.

Reminder that you don't have to "earn" the right to breathe, to take up space, to consume resources. The guilt you're feeling for doing so is an artifact of old programming, installed by people & institutions that want to control you from the inside. No more; no less.
