Looking forward to Spring… 🖼️ Squirrel’s Tea Party, M Morris, 1923.

Went to the dentist today for the first time in too long. Happy to say that all is well and now I only have to face the prospect of a cleaning, which is such a relief! 😮‍💨

"If Ever I Would Leave You" from Camelot, a performed by Aretha Franklin

WOW. Doctors DO NOT like it when you ask questions here. That seems to be a thing out here, in general- many people seem to find asking questions for clarity of understanding to be resistance or conflict. >.< Yikes!

"Lilith in the Valley of a Thousand Sculptures" Mixed media: coffee, graphite, and gold leaf on Arches paper. The first piece to surface from the Labyrinth. In pale marble, she carves a tree. The Golden Serpent coils nearby — patient, watchful.

Soooooo much good stuff in these replies

Does anyone in the Portland area know where there might be an art supply exchange? All of my supplies are in storage (not accessible 😮‍💨 long story) and I really miss the release of creating things with my hands.

Hey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

If you've never reported a rape and been horribly mishandled by the state and authorities, I do not think I or any other victim ever need you to ask why victims don't report. Go look up your state's backlogged rape kits before you speak to me on this subject.

Reminder here’s some adobe alternatives, Because FUCK ADOBE….

Yesterday was the midway point between the winter solstice & the vernal equinox & today is Imbolc, the pagan celebration of the return of the light. We’re climbing out of winter & the whole botanical calendar (save snowdrops & aconites) is ahead. A very good thought in case you need it today 🌿:

Theres still time. And every moment is precious.

It’s important to be mindful of where you offer your energy and to whom.

Portland people, spread this around.

Even in the midst of everything going on in this moment, there is *such* beauty in the world. It is so important to take a moment to appreciate that every now and then. I hope you find that beauty and those moments.

LPT: Do it scared, yes. But don't do it when you have a popped rib stabbing you in the lung. People will get the wrong impression.

@patri.xyz - Thank you so much for welcoming me into the yardcrow! I'm honored - I know that you probably have so many people asking you for a label and I realize I never properly did. It was a very pleasant surprise to see after a long, hard day.

Hey Portland! Where do you get your non-dehumanizing healthcare? Please pass this around because I *need* some answers. I just had a horrific experience and *never* want to go through that again.

Googles: if I drink a chic-a-cherry cola will magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine

No, seriously. Artists, show us those shoulder blades! Pretty please.

Hello #pretendpanel! This month has been brutal for many, myself included. The next step is going to mean no longer holding onto the time from Friday night through Saturday for rest. It's important to connect to grow and that's when many things /2 #WritingCommunity #Writers #Authors #WritingPrompts

It's my sincere hope community serves as the antithesis of AI slop. Indie authors build communities with other writers and readers who trust in the stories they're telling. We grow together. We sharpen one another. We support each other.

Yes, demons are sexy, but demisexuality is actually the name for feeling sexual desire only ✨after✨ developing an emotional connection with someone, as @scribbletoons.bsky.social explains in this comic from our archive. 1/2 www.ohjoysextoy.com/demisexual-s...

It's important to say what needs to be said while we have the opportunity. Too often, it's the things that have gone unsaid that we regret. Our words and stories are all that will remain, in the end. Those words can go on to do a lot of good. It's certainly worth trying. #writingq #WritingCommunity
