Blissfulness: that first day in the 60s in New England, from snow boots to flip flops, those first sunny smiles ☀️ 🫶🏻

Like you, she had read The Files...
Chin up, beautiful women! Time to rinse. I hope you found a relaxing, though fleeting, bath in your scroll, even behind the dark curtains of smoke 🌙✨🧴🚿

Who knew AI and Fairies had something in common?
Their jealousy of human love.
They would do anything for a day in love, thorns and all.
That precious, mortal superpower.
Happy Valentine's Day!🍫 💝

Julian the Postman would delight in the thought that he was hacking the Matrix every Valentine's Day. Among the usual bills, eviction notices, and other grey deliveries, he would freely give away colorful hearts of all shapes and sizes 💌
Julian, the Loveliest Hacker

Brr... it's a frozen world outside.
Inside, choose love, today...and every day.
Put it on and wear it until winter melts.
I am open to commissions that keep us all warm 🧣❤️

Second snow day! ❄️ ❄️
Watching children and animals playing in the snow is one the most purifying scenes to witness lately...

A five-year-old is not a threat,
never was,
never will be.

Happy January #kidlitartpostcard!
On that rare sunny morning, the elephant in the room
felt compelled to become the elephant in the sun
I am Maria, an artist drawn to sunflower characters, inevitably turning toward the sunny side of life

The most mythical fairytale is that one about moms being behind all the Christmas magic. Can you believe it?!
Happy Women's Christmas... even if it's totally based on a legend 🪄

The most magical night! The Three Kings on their way...

Happy 2026.
Red. Put on something red. What’s the best that could happen?
Have faith, or hope.
Or both! ✨ ❤️ 🤞🏻

So you got the flu too and now you are working all the shifts...
Of all the hats, the one in the North Pole has to be my favorite one...
And it’s starting to snow to make it impossibly perfectly whitechristmassy❄️🎄

Yesterday I got to see #PattiSmith on her book tour...
To Pattismith: should be a verb, unique and necessary 🕊️
"I awakened to the cry
that the people have the power
to redeem the work of fools
upon the meek the graces shower
it's decreed the people rule"

I would like to say I am still standing, but no, I'm still sitting...🙃
2025...twenty-fiving until its very last days...😔
A rather rough year, vacuuming whatever crumbs of sunshine for the grey days ahead
Have you been sitting too?
