Candlesnuff fungus (Xylaria hypoxylon). Small, common & easily overlooked but with mighty properties: anti-viral & active against tumours, & ever so slightly bioluminescent. Aka stag’s horn fungus, candlestick fungus, carbon antlers #nurturebynature #fungi #fungifriends

DONE. I’m so tired of these companies hellbent on destroying our planet.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Maximum corvid. Corvus corax - the Common Raven #birds 🌿

I’m working on my first real drawing since my father died in September and we moved north. Last year took a lot out of me but this feels good. 🖤 #art #drawing #nature #feather

Reintroduction! I’m Naomi an Ojibwe book content creator who reads diversely and in every genre. I created Indigenous book bingo to help people find more Indigenous books and run the Good Day to Read Indigenous book club for free members of my Bindery: boozhoo.binderybooks.com

Amazing how restorative good sleep can be. Feeling much better but I am behind a day. Let’s see how much I can get done on this drawing for an auction NEXT WEEK. 😅

Thanks for the outpouring of kindness, folks. If you want to do something to perk me up? Well, you could pre-order my dragon book! www.amazon.com/Dragon-Has-S...

The sun emerged today so I snuck out for a bit. Outdoor work time 💛

I finished assembling my raven paper piecing wall quilt. I plan to put a border on it before doing the quilting. I might make some tabs so I can display it hanging from a branch on the wall. We'll see...

I will be mailing out 71 mini prints this month to my patrons. WOW! So thankful to you all 🫶🏼

I had a rough pain night. Sweet Dru sat up in bed at one point looking at me, clearly concerned. 🥹 It’s going to be a long day. #chronicillness

Here is the fundraiser for Renee Good’s wife and son, from a very trusted source.

Feeling this.

Paid the booth fee for a show in November and couldn’t help wondering if it will happen at the rate this country is falling.

This was just moments ago on my art table, while I was drawing… Thankful for this crazy girl for making me smile even in dark times. 🖤 #cats

The respectability policing that goes on after cops or federal agents (who are also cops, y'all) kill someone is always unbearable. Dissecting the actions of the victim, putting them on trial when they cannot defend themselves, declaring they should have done this or that. Did they deserve to die?!

Putting the Oscar memoriam to shame.

My first mini artwork of the year was inspired by a drawing of a small wooden bear I keep on my art table. Little Doe is symbol of hope and peace. Patrons on a reward tier will be receiving a print this month! The original drawing is sold. 🤎 #drawing #wildlife #art #nature #sciart

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

1. The optometrist was both amazed and impressed I was still using a Rx from 2005, as my eyesight has only changed a smidge. 2. But I do need bifocals. 😅

I’m finally getting an eye exam today. It’s been YEARS. 😬

I embellished the first prints in my new studio today ✨ #art #nature #magic #sciart

Happy Caturday from this girl living her best life 🖤

new year, same imperialism

When I drove to Toronto last month I had no issues at the border but when I returned to the US the agent did ask me what my nationality was, which I thought was odd considering he had my passport in his hands and it states my nationality. <— I double checked today. LOL Is that a standard question?

A couple of friends suggested I create a gofundme for Gouda’s surgery, so I did. I hate asking for money, it’s a tough time of year and honestly I feel like a lot of us are struggling, but if you do have a dollar or two … gofund.me/b77fa0c85
