"The troubling paradox is that women experience more pain, yet their pain is also more likely to be dismissed, diagnosed late or undertreated ... This enormous study shows that the higher burden of pain in women is remarkably consistent across the body and in a remarkably diverse global population."

I really got out of my comfort zone with this one! I wasn’t sure about it for so long, but I actually love it! #art #illustration #digitalArt #Fall #Autumn #Birdsky #Cute #Artist
Digital illustration: an A4 canvas is covered with colourful and simple drawings of fallen leaves. Among them are 7 blackbirds peeking out. The leaves are not fully coloured, only with a bit of a sketchy style, leaving a lof of white visible through them, which helps bring out the uniform black of the blackbird’s bodies.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Borbs Love the puffy little rounds (big ones too).
A chipping sparrow sitting on gravel, likely a fledgling. It has an angry look but still cute. A Ruffed Grouse on the ground, very puffed up and round (sometimes they look more like a thin wild chicken). The feather pattern is very colourful, light to dark browns and corals. A black and white Dark-Eyed Junco on the ground, looking very spherical. A chickadee on a branch, this one is quite round with its winter fluff.

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

Catholic here! a Pope Egg is like when a rooster lays an egg and a basilisk hatches out. Given its green color, this does not seem to be Pope Leo's Pope Egg, but rather an egg from a prior pope, and thus he must arm himself from the Vatican's relics & fight the Basilisk Pope once hatched

how about some good news: new cat just dropped!!!!
a photo of a small, spotted wild cat, with orange fur and brown circular markings, staring up with big golden eyes.Meet the First New Cat Species Discovered in 100 Years

A small, spotted tiger cat from Bolivia may just be the beginning of a wave of new small cat species.

This 10-year-old male tiger cat is the first of his species (named Leopardus tilcayo) known to science. He is approximately 18 inches from head to end of body and weighs only 3 pounds, making him smaller than the average domestic cat. This video was captured at the Senda Verde Animal Refuge in Bolivia’s Yungas region, where he currently resides.
