Current living room display-what this picture doesn't capture is with lamplight/ambient light, the stars/diamante/beads glimmer & give the optical illusion of night as you move around the room.

Owain Jones shared this on FB, and it relates to the UK. As I see people marching in the streets and spewing hate, I feel sharing knowledge is more important than ever 💔 #monday #hope #humanity #news #travel

(1/2🧵I can't tell you how disgusted I am at three thousand people laughing at this 1st image, or supporting the 2nd. What is sad is that most people who fall into this rhetoric don't realise *how dangerous the sea is* if weather turns against them, fire, mechanical failure... #news #humanity

Work in progress - adding fine Posca detail to collaged glued fabric detail is freaking nerve wracking...🥴🤦🎨✍️ #artsky #mixedmixedart #workinprogress #collageart #art

I just need to scream in the #fashion void I really hate this midi/midaxi #skirt #dress thing and I can't wait until they vanish for another 20 years... It feels like it's been going on for aaaaages😂 (I'm cool with maxis and decent length minis and cute knee length autumn ones...) #clothing #style 👗

I absolutely love my sword earrings⚔️ Makes me think of Eowyn and the quote from the second #lordoftherings film "The Two Towers"- "The #women of this country learned long ago, those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain" #tolkien #fantasy #books #movies

Reading The Last Man by Mary Shelley "My Father was one of those men on whom nature had bestowed to prodigality the envied gifts of wit and imagination, and then left his bark of life to be impelled by these winds, without adding reason as the rudder,or judgment as the pilot for the voyage" #booksky

A bit of 🌈🌞🎂🎉 for you, at my friends work, they collect all the lost toys from lost property & locally, & once a year had a giant teddy bears picnic, invite families so they can reunite to toys with owners... It'd be worth it if even one kid got their special toy back #happiness #humanity #childhood

(1/2🧵) One of my plans when I have more space is to make a #bannedbooks shelf. I'll probably buy the box part premade, and attach my own "Prison" doors Then Fahrenheit 451 (That's my copy, I love the #art) Handmaids tale, etc. can have fun place to live! 📚.... #booksky

I can't believe we are at a place in the human timeline where a spatula set and a balloon arch can probably trigger eye twitching, lip pursing or outright apoplectic rage amongst some, but you know, it's 2025 🤦🤷 I wish I were joking but... people #humanity #photography
