Actual footage from inside my head this evening youtu.be/B92iagLJDFE?...

Risonya the cat is the mascot for Resona Bank. He appears calm and intelligent, but he can be clumsy and surprisingly prone to tears. He tends to get absorbed in his own world and often finds himself alone. Thus, he is single and inexperienced in romance.

How could I resist?

Always one of my favourite covers drawn for Pet Defenders - Beards from Outer Space by the brilliant @jonesgarethp this came out almost 9 years ago! (I am only sporting a partial beard here & am extremelyunlikely to ever let it grow more than this! #illustration #childrensbooks

Libraries are not just knowledge repositories, though it’d be enough if that’s all academic libraries did. We create the conditions for knowledge production across campus, and also create knowledge in our own right. A uni cannot function without a healthy, well funded, appropriately staffed library

I’m thinking about my humanities faculty colleagues who claim the library as their laboratory. I’m thinking of my work, inspired by my colleagues across the country, to create spaces of inquiry, discovery & joy that center human relationships over corporate tech. That’s what libraries do!

Library work is deeply relational. Our work is collab + people centered. The library is the ❤️ of the uni. Lib folx are the ❤️ of the uni. The relationships we nurture span the disciplines + bridge research & teaching. Libraries have never been needed more. Library folx have never been needed more

What my internal monologue looks like

Carnation update from the #TinyPottedGarden

Daibo-kun the wild boar is the mascot for the Mitsubishi Sagamihara Dynaboars rugby team and also works as a tourism ambassador for Sagamihara City.

To be clear, I wanna know is this stream of consciousness then clean up? Thesis & an outline? Brainstorming? Reading, research, the write? What is the approach?

Meet my new fabric art creation: Tatiana Tatters the Tenacious Terror. I designed and hand-sewed the ghost bag, as well as her magnetic hat. As her name implies, Tatiana is quite a persistent spirit. Once she decides to haunt someone, she never gives up on her mission. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

I've added my orchard and allotment themed landscape into a hoop frame I've had for a long while and I love how it looks! I think I may have to sell this aerial embroidery along with it, I think its such a perfect match for the landscape 😊 what do you think?

Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works, if you'd like. And feel free to tell us about it. Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

And, once more, people have always questioned others using toilets if they feel like the other person doesn't look like their idea of a woman. Usually by saying loudly, "Excuse ME, this is the ladies," to which the apparently unfeminine person (me) replied, "yes, I know."

they're calling this tractor the ratmobile

A walk in the woods.

Once more for those at the back: There is NO WAY to reliably identify trans people, and certainly no dignified and respectful way to ask any person to prove their sex in a public facility. This will just cause harm to trans people and to cisgender people who don’t conform to gender stereotypes.

I've locked down my account a bit for now, one of my posts is attracting a deluge of dodgy looking accounts. I don't know why, and I don't know why they exist. Go away! Leave me alone!

is there a way of doing a batch block? One of my posts has been liked by a load of suspiciously not-real looking accounts and I'd like to get rid all at once.

A year ago today, this happened! Thanks, once again, to everyone who turned my book into a real thing. @candyjarbooks.bsky.social
