I grew up in the church so many of the tropes were recognisable in a way that was simultaneously comfortable + uncomfortable.

The Hunterston Brooch from the collections of the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh. Dating to around 700 AD, the brooch was found at Hunterston in North Ayrshire during the 1830s. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #HunterstonBrooch

Photo of a bowl of shish barak - small dumplings in a creamy yoghurt sauce, topped with mint oil, toasted pine nuts, chiffonaded mint leaves and a sprinkle of sumac.

Syrian week on #52weeksofcooking and I made shish barak. Beautiful little lamb dumplings in yoghurt sauce. I followed a recipe from Reem Assil's cookbook Arabiyya - one of my favourites. Worth the effort of folding endless dumplings. Awesome food!

Lmao, the info dump in S3E3 of Jujutsu Kaisen was a lot, but lowkey necessary.
Also, I'm loving the brotherly vibe between Yuji + Choso.

Detail from “Our Lady of Lourdes” window by Harry Clarke.

Particularly striking are the jewel like images in the upper part of the window.

'Clouds may gather, drift, and dissolve, yet the sky itself remains vast and untouched.
So the aim [of meditation] is not an empty mind, but a free mind - one that knows thoughts without becoming entangled in them.'

A screenshot from an animated sci-fi series called Scavengers Reign. It shows a man on a spaceship standing with his back to the camera, looking at the surface of an unknown planet.

A screenshot from an animated sci-fi series called Scavengers Reign. It shows a close-up of the hands of two people sitting on the ground under a tree. One person's hand is open, palm down, while the other person's hand is clenched into a fist.

I'm almost done with Scavengers Reign + I can't recommend it enough.
I wish all animated sci-fi series looked like this.

I had Johnny Cash's version of Hurt in mind when storyboarding this song, and while there are many departures, this is still very satisfying to look at.

I love discovering new music.
It's a top five feeling.
