Amazing work by Lebanese illustrator Tracy Chahwan in the New York Times this week. This accompanies a review of the new crime thriller by SA Cosby, King of Ashes. The review is here: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/b... #illustration #art #artsky #litsky #booksky #thriller

“Today’s class — CMS.303/803/21M.365 (DJ History, Technique, and Technology) — takes students to the 1970s, which means disco, funk, rhythm and blues, and the breaks that form the foundation of early hip-hop are in the mix.” news.mit.edu/2025/mixing-... #musicsky #dj

“I grew to love him as a person, and for me, he was the biggest influence on my songwriting ever; he was a musical genius and revolutionary. He changed the goalposts when it came to writing songs and shaped music forever. A true giant.” — Elton John apnews.com/article/bria... #musicsky #music

Don’t know I needed this but now I can never go back

I took this picture with one hand while holding a tricycle and rushing to the car and it turned out perfect somehow. #nature #photography #flowers #summer

I’m trying not to overlook the small pockets of beauty and peace that are planted around me. Like this one today.

Life continues 🍃

Thank you — I started using alt text a few years ago on Twitter and it’s just an easy habit now. Hope more people do it too. Always a good time to start 👍🏽

Today I created a new account on #Substack. I was instantly shown a stream of posts like these (the first post was from a gothic letter 'national socialist' account). It then suggested I follow Edward Snowden, Tulsi Gabbard and Vivek Ramaswamy. That platform is COOKED far beyond what I had imagined

Real questions

I’m just as tired as y’all are. But I’m still here. Wishing you well, take care and stay up.

Congratulations, and thank you for this beautiful work 💗 #artsky #edusky #art #education

Chileeeeeeee

This January has been the longest 6 months of my life.

Yeah it’s that kinda day

Used this on patients while working in the dental industry: sit down, lift up your feet , hold your arms out and wiggle your fingers.

The 4-7-8 breathing technique is based on pranayama breathing exercises. Pranayama is the ancient yogic practice of controlling your breath. www.webmd.com/balance/what...

I always forget how powerful breathing can be. Are there any techniques that help calm you?

You haven’t truly made it until you have been validated by Snopes, I think. www.snopes.com/fact-check/v...
