I think it's harder for elderly people, when you're in stuck in bed, maybe on medication, feeling tired and miserable. When my mom was in the hospital recently I would bring her a toothbrush and cup in bed, it was still tricky to manage.

day 21 of #repostyourart is cloud, don't think I ever posted this #SciArt comic doodle of Samantha Clark giving a talk on campus about her beautiful Scottish sea and cloud inspired pieces www.samanthaclark.net
I love this so much. We've come so far since Virginia Woolf's 'A Room of One's Own'. The noise and backlash doesn't change that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I saw a headline warning that insects and bugs are coming back earlier this year, and it actually made me happy. π
Jane Eyre & Mr. Rochester embrace beneath ancient, gnarled trees below a gothic, windy sky & full moon in this woodcut-esque illustration, which is deliberately stark & artistically graphic in its contrasts.

In this late-romanticist painting, we see a full moon glowing down upon 19th-century Venice. The canal and lagoon surrounding Venice, shimmer in the moonlight. Workers are milling around on the docks.
