I’ve read some disturbing news over the years but BrainEx’s current use of disembodied living brains kept on life-support for laboratory experimentation really takes the cake.

A rose by any other name smells just as sweet, unless it grows in the land of Borca. And if the Lady Ivana Boritsi catches you picking it… say your prayers. #Ravenloft 🔗🧶⬇️

‘Mary Magdalena’ by Donatello, 1453/55. Jillian and I saw this years ago at the Uffizi in Florence. It still haunts me, in a good way.

Something you don’t see everyday: an African American man being asked to leave the YMCA at 8AM for parading around the gym with a huge rebel flag on his shoulder while wearing street clothes and carrying a military backpack. 😳

Our garden is definitely organic.

These volunteer tomatoes that came up in our oregano pot seem to be doing well. Maybe they’re camparis?

Here at St Mary’s Basilica in Minneapolis, there’s a restoration effort going on. It’s nothing I can’t work around but I’m wondering what the new landscaping might look like in a year or two. #drawing @cathedralproject.bsky.social

St. Margaret Mary in Omaha may be an outlier since it’s “just” a parish church, but it’s the church I celebrate Mass in every week. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked through those front doors. The interior is gorgeous as well. It’s worth a visit if you’re in town.

Mike Schley @mikeschley.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

I just now finished the drawing of St Margaret Mary’s. It’s my home parish so I put a little extra time into it. Follow @cathedralproject.bsky.social for more. . #graphite #pencil #drawing

A bit more progress on the drawing of St. Margaret Mary’s. Should be wrapped up this weekend.

Mike Schley @mikeschley.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Making dirt! The bin in the back is just about ready to go. The one in the middle needs to work so I’m just stirring it occasionally. Fresh scraps & roughage will go in the empty one up front. I’ll start mixing the ready compost into last year’s potting soil and get to planting soon.

Here’s a quick snap of yesterday’s progress on my drawing of St Margaret Mary’s. I’m wrapping up the HB layer and working out the delicate & fiddly bits before pushing the shadows with my softer pencils. #graphite #drawing #artwork @cathedralproject.bsky.social

Mike Schley @mikeschley.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

I’m building up the initial graphite layers (2H & HB) for my drawing of St Margaret Mary’s this afternoon. It’s a slow process but it really lets the surface texture of the paper come through.
