Here’s the deal: most of the lighting in my art makes 𝘯𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦. I just make it up as I go along. That’s why I need to do some good lighting studies every now and then - I can’t get away with this forever 😅 Which one do you like the most?

Feeling so inspired after a great day starting out on my @domestika-org.bsky.social course “Playful Writing Techniques for Children’s Stories” by award winning writer of Children’s stories, Antonio Ramos Revillas. I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed writing.

Maybe it's early... But this took me out 🤣

A picture of Julianne Moore holding her book, Freckleface Strawberry & a tweet a out it being banned becuase it promotes DEI. There is a quote tweet saying "White people with freckles, welcome to the resistance."

The past week I’ve seen multiple posts from people who say they lost all the data on their computers (including full manuscripts). Do yourself a favor and go check today that you have a backup of all your data and ensure that any cloud backups and storage are working properly.

#HotBeverages mthly POLL: Tea or coffee? What type? Fave prep method? #CommunityPolls My answer: COFFEE: Pour-over dark roast with steamed oat milk + splash of Elmhurst Chai Oat Creamer. TEA: Tealish Dessert Teas (thx to my friend Jodi Krangle for the gift!) #FoundObjectArt #ShadowArt

Using AI to produce writing or art is like asking someone at the gym to lift weights for you. The effort is the point.

60 years ago, a girl called Caroline posed for the illustrations in ‘Levers, Pulleys and Engines’ (1963) It was important to the editor that boy and girls should be equal participants in the experiments. Caroline was his daughter International Day of Women In Science
