I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

My second time painting in a more upright position with gouache, I've been enjoying it 💙 For certain techniques I still prefer a lower angle but its fun to mix it up! 😊 Ref photo credit: Daniel Sessler on Unsplash

Nothing really worked better for me than drawing what I'm genuinely passionate about in th emoment. Looks like people catch up the emotion and energy that made the artwork happen and they love it. When I ry to push myyself to draw something when I don't feel like it it almost always flops

Happy Halloween!! 🎃 Here's a little witchy personal painting in digital 💚✨

A digital painting depicting a moody nighttime scene of a witch's house deep in the forest. The house is half-timbered with stone and a thatched roof. There is a blue, misty glow in the air. The windows of the house glow with orange and green light, and bioluminescent mushrooms glow in the surrounding landscape.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
