A photo of me, a fifty something white women with black hair. I’m grinning at the camera but pointing up at my art on the wall: a long stick holding three weavings and several tassels.

Friday night we went to the artists’ reception for the show my art is in and here I am with it. (It’s the stick on top. They hung it with a photograph of an artist I actually know! A lovely coincidence!)

I seriously want to live in this tiny house. Just shrink me down, Honey so I can natter away all day in the tiny lab and then relax at night in the Star Trek attic. 🤩

Tiny drone for tiny footage 😂

This is amazing!! Do you have a video tour of your house? Because I need to see it allllllll!!

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

If nothing ordinary people do mattered, fascists and tyrants wouldn't spend so much of their power trying to make sure ordinary people do nothing.

A photo of my desk with book making supplies spread out: paper, an open box of tools, turquoise book cloth, turquoise, black, tan, and lime green marbled end papers, two accordion folded craft paper strips, glue stick, ruler, and assorted pens and pencils,

I am currently making an Australian Piano Hinge Book and I’ve been gathering supplies, cutting and folding for over 2 hours now and I’m not sure when assembly is gonna start??!!?!! 😂

A photo of Feferi, the red and white Corgi, looking at the camera from the edge of the back porch. She is perfectly Corgi shaped.

Feferi getting in some quality sniff time since it is gorgeous outside this morning.

Two judgements against meta this week and I have to say that’s just the best news.

It's THIS kind of messaging they need to get out in front of everyone

Thanks @ihannas.bsky.social for your link love and your comment! ❤️

BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov are introducing a ban on AI data centers and other hyperscale data centers.

The ban would remain until Congress passes new AI legislation.

That legislation must ensure AI is safe, benefits workers, and doesn't raise electricity prices.

things are incredibly hard right now. I am so grateful to those who manage to support artists financially. I am also grateful for those who take the time out of their day to share and engage with artwork, to amplify projects and people even if there's no money to spare. that's worth something, too.

😂yes she’d have us sorted in a hot minute

Liberal use of “you will never replace artists, you whiny ass cry babies” also highly encouraged

I am from Arkansas and have lived in Alabama for 25 so I have literally never felt that feeling before in my life.

Every time I turn around NM is being awesome!

Well I for sure would like to see the “art sentient junk drawer” because it sounds amazing. For now though, I have a new thing to imagine. ❤️

Glad you are making!! However you are sharing it I hope it feels like the best, right thing. 🖍️🖌️✏️
