In honour of SHE IS HERE's quarter-year birthday, I'm changing my avatar to one of the drawings in the book, "King Bird," heavily adapted from an illustration from the Early Medieval gospel, the Book of Kells. If you want to know more about SHE IS HERE […] [Original post on mastodon.sdf.org]

New month, new avatar: imagining Hild looking up at hard blue April skies to the hope and happiness of hirundines arriving with promises of summer to come. Here's something I made of curves and interlace while daydreaming of better things ahead.

Stylised black and white image of a hirundine after the kind of imagery—made of curves and shapes and interlace—found in Early Medieval insular gospels, particularly Lindisfarne

😐😷🤒 For those I haven’t responded to in the last few days: it’s nothing personal, I’m sick. A really nasty respiratory virus that’s now morphed into bacterial bronchitis. The meds are making me stupid. So I’m off email and phone etc for a while. Sorry. As compensation, here’s a hug from Charlie.

Add a bit of blood to the crozier, another foot of height, and take away the glasses and it could have been Hild. Hey, it only took 1400 years… 😄

In honour of March madness and for all those ladies of any species who don't care for being importuned by uppity boys, I'm changing my avatar to my Pictish stones-style hares boxing:
