This is appalling. I can say with certainty that Steve Jobs would be ashamed of Tim Cook at this terrible moment, one of many these days, and he has sullied the last year of his tenure and the Apple brand by his craven need to please shareholders over holding onto some basic values of decency.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

In my on going quest to make my office feel like less of a prison and more of a place I actually want to be 40+ hours a week - Art! A lovely little piece from @xxyxxy.com. I love how Joel's paintings seem to focus on one main color, in this case green. It goes well with blue and red.

Coming this Wednesday @ 9am PT—Year of the Horse shop update! 🐎✨ I will have some Year of the Horse memory jars, little horse totems, and a...wolf??? A wolf somehow managed to slip into the group, but they seem to be accepted as one of the herd, so! Link here: shop.lioninthetrees.com #art #pottery

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

My parents will join a good protest wherever they are!

What IS this?

I'm excited to announce the availability my most recent book of poetry, and this one is full of my graphite illustrations! I would be most excited if you were to pop by and check it out. It's available exclusively on xxyxxy.com #poetry #graphiteOnPaper

Sherrilyn Ifill’s @sifill.bsky.social latest is a must read. “I believe that our opponents are on the decline. … That is because cruelty and hate is not a belief system. It is an exhale, a howl of pain, of insecurity, of spiritual emptiness, and of arrested development.”

Over the holidays, the administration quietly initiated a review of all Wildlife Refuges, something that could preface yet another attempt to steal your land: open.substack.com/pub/wessiler...

I got so much mileage out of this one illustration. He’s my guy. My little dude. My grinning little house god. #embroidery

A team led by physicist Chien-Shiung Wu obtained the first experimental confirmation of “parity violation,” in the decay of Cobalt-60, #OTD in 1956. Her theory colleagues received a Nobel for the prediction, but she was left off the prize. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 Image: Smithsonian Institution Archives

Giant Leopard #Moths, Hypercompe scribonia, were frequent visitors to the bug light this year. What looks like black markings from a distance, is revealed to be a rich iridescent blue upon closer look. Some have spots, and some have rings. #MacroPhotography #Mothmas #Invertefest

Holy moly. That is not where you want half of your dome shutter to be. Glad no one was hurt.

One of my favorite birds! I love their little beep beep sounds! So distinctive.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

I’ve been thinking about getting a short scale bass guitar and a search for info led me to one of Jonathan Wong’s @drjonathanwong.bsky.social YouTube channels! I’ve been binging on his many amazing guitar videos. He’s so talented. Here’s the one that got me started youtu.be/BiLk3N_MCCE?...

This hits hard. One of those disasters happened in my county. As a member of the SAR team that provided evacuation support and post-flooding drone surveys, I saw firsthand the damage done. And it’s not over. Several log jams on Vallecito Creek are potentially deadly hazards.

There are 6 days left to enter the raffle for this large aerial embroidery, 'Autumn in technicolour'. All proceeds are going towards my surgery recovery this new year :) Full details and entries available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/raffle-... and all shares very appreciated 🍂

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

No!!!!

Progress shot of the latest #embroidery! I always find depicting water reflections to be an interesting challenge, and it’s a bit part of this one.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...
