I’ve set my phone to permanent silent mode because every notification makes me wonder, “What on earth am I in trouble for this time?” And, honestly - I know I did something right. 😂📵 #NeurodivergentBoyWoes

Just some #420pm nonsense, but not a punctual one ⏰🗑️. Time is just another link in this psychic prison that we label as reality. 🤣💨🎉

"Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Why does the full moon make me so crazy? 🤪🐺🌕🌟🪐👽

Dinner impatience

Spotted Orion rising over trees tonight. While Greeks saw a hunter, Chinook legends tell of a high-speed canoe race across the Milky Way. You can see the 'Big Canoe' (the belt) and the 'Little Canoe' (the sword) just clearing the branches. There’s something beautiful about a race that never ends."⭐️

For his heinous crimes as a familiar allied with dark forces, Rudolph is sentenced to endure a bizarre punishment: boiling in a concoction of berries, chocolate, and fried in crepes! 🦌👹🍫🍓🥞😱😱🤣💙

Feeling better after this morning, so I’m grabbing the last bit of sunshine by the window at 4:20 pm before the lights get turned off in the simulation. 😂❄️💨🤘🪟

Treats can be a valid coping mechanism, but since breakfast is essential, I don’t feel guilty about spending money on them. Sometimes, we’re worth going broke for ourselves. 🤣😺💙🥯🐖🧀🥚💙☀️ ❄️

And now, I lay my armor down and seek solace from my wounds in this magical Temple of Eevee. A Jolteon stands sentinel, guarding the sacred altar by the roaring sea. Here, offerings from the living to the dead linger high on the sunlit altar, connecting both worlds. Quietly - I mend in this realm

And the day ended abruptly when Wolfie fell face-first on black ice and had to go home to take ibuprofen and clean up the blood. But on the bright side, this is my first day off in months! 🤣😭🤣💙🤘🦋 ❄️

I love moody skies. And hope in the sun still there. 🤍🕊️ . #ArtistsOnBlueSky #BlueSkyArtShow #AbstractArt #AbstractExpressionism #Painter #Art #Artist #WomensArtBlueSky #AbstractArtist #BlueSkyArt  #OregonArtist #Oregon

Another of my watercolour drawings of Winchester from 1997 (still in my possession). I sat by some railings with my back to the cathedral and completed this on the spot even though light rain came on (I had an umbrella). #art #Winchester #enpleinair #watercolour

Rest, weary traveler, and momentarily escape the biting cold of winter. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly. Imagine rolling green grass, the sweet scent of dew on a wet spring night, and the gentle chirping of crickets. For a few seconds, we find solace and peace, holding sacred and ordinary. . 🔮🧘🍃🌼🦗

I can’t even sneeze without Jupiter, that nosy gas giant, squinting at me as I trudge through the frost, probably taking notes in a little cosmic diary while juggling its 92 moons like tiny binoculars 🪐👀🔭

“All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well. For there is a force of love moving through the universe that holds us fast and will never let us go.” - Julian of Norwich 🧘🐇☮️🕊️

In the saga of battling winter blues, I find energy to conquer adhd messes. 🧼This triumph deserves a parade with confetti! *Cue dramatic entrance of a marching band of squirrels playing trumpets as I devour an entire mountain of Reese’s,unleashing a wave of wrappers that form a sea of chaos*🤣🎉

Pulled in opposing ways, Dissatisfied, temporary phase, Pulled between memory’s hold And expectation’s demand, Seeking rest, brave and bold, On the knife edge, unplanned. The journey starts anew, Not with certainty’s grace, But with hunger’s drive, true, To find its destined place

illustration by the Austrian artist Felicitas Kuhn (1926-2022)

Just go for it, don’t claim it. Let your actions speak for itself.

Rest does not need to be earned. One awkward moment does not define a person. Just because it is thought does not mean it is true. Mistakes do not diminish value; they make people human. During winter, bears, groundhogs, and bats hibernate; we can take time to rest as well ❄️🌲

Off topic but I really like painting these acrylic storms to let off steam. Pixel art is so rigidly structured that I crave total chaos to relax. #art #painting #pixelart

This weather is simultaneously terrifying and mesmerizing, in a strange way.

If you’re experiencing winter blues, feel welcome to cozy up here, and together we can embrace the season until spring arrives. discord.gg/4VMD67NS

I can’t be early or late for #420pm because, let’s face it, time is just a sneaky ninja that likes to play hide and seek! Maybe the real question isn’t am I on time for this, or will I be late for that - perhaps it should be - do I feel like a dancing penguin right now? 🐧🕺

The isolation is far more perilous than any storm. As the December sleet relentlessly pierces my flesh, I oscillate between the exhilarating embrace of this freedom in frosty solitude and the sudden, piercing pangs of existential sorrow and gasps of repentance that claw outward to escape my chest

The isolation is far more perilous than any storm. As the December sleet relentlessly pierces my flesh, I oscillate between the exhilarating embrace of this freedom in frosty solitude and the sudden, piercing pangs of existential sorrow and gasps of repentance that claw outward to escape my chest

A weary flicker of vitality; during my midday reprieve at the barn, engaging in some target practice while the haunting echoes of Wuthering Heights reverberate in the background, striving to find solace amidst the relentless sleet storm. ⛈️ ❄️🌨️

Seek the kingdom within…

Desolation’s chill, Shadows drape the weary soul, Icy frost binds tight, Forward steps are lost to me, In this frozen, silent night.

Great, just what I needed. A giant Jupiter looming over me while my phone tracks my every step. Does Jupiter watch us the way we watch surveillance cameras? Am I living in a cosmic reality show? 🎥💫 #JupiterWatch

like a magician’s glass, to each and every man in turn but mirrors back his own mysterious self
