Listening to Tilda Swinton read Nan Shepherd's A Living Mountain and it's fine except you can hear the italics on every Gaelic and Scots word (even if they're pronounced right) and generally it feels odd to hear a voice so anchored in Scotland read in a smooth RP accent

If you’re in the UK and were born between 1970-1990 you can just go to your GP and get revaccinated for MMR because you may have had single vaccines, which are no longer considered valid. I went & did it this summer. Easy way to help protect yourself & your community.

i love "Terracotta mask in the shape of the head of a fox, dog, or bat ca. 600–480 BCE" so much he's so perfect

Day 13 of TVY Advent Embroidery sets! www.thirdvaultyarns.com/ourshop/prod... If you've seen TVY at shows often we'll have a box, or a teacup of embroidery skeins for you to choose from, but they've not existed on the website until now, so if embroidery is your thing, this is for you 🥰.

This is probably the largest art I've made in a long time; it's 16x48 inches at 300dpi. All of the animals are inspired by petroglyphs and cave art from around the world on top of the shapes found within the animals themselves. #art #caveart #petroglyph #deer #wolves #ravens #raven #wolf #elk

Can't wait for what I bet will be a fascinating discussion

Feeling super nauseous today but when I dragged myself out I randomly saw a treecreeper, which has been on my list for ages! Really cheered me and I got a bunch more work done

Well, perhaps then, it is a hedgehogwitch you are needing today. (with added snail at no additional cost)

Tis the season for… #ArtAdventCalendar! Day 7️⃣ #calligraphy doodles, aka versals

I'm very happy to be home again but after a day of laundry and shopping and checking in on friends I'm so tired I'm slowly falling asleep on the couch clutching my fancy new yarn that smells delightfully of woodsmoke and sheep

When I was taught to write resumes in German high school photo + relationship status was standard, and ~5 years ago I was reliably informed that a sleeveless dress w/o a cardi to cover my shoulders would be inappropriate for an interview. Europe has so many ways it screens "undesirables"

A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020. Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃 #ArtAdventCalendar

Day 5 #ArtAdventCalendar • This is my first #MECFS #symptomatology #embroidery: paresthesia (hand 1) 2016. The idea came to me while doing a meditation technique to dissect the tingling sensations in my body to make them less overwhelming. #SciArt

Now that I've learned to read for joy again, I need to learn how to stop A lot of what I read is cosy stuff, but lots of it has such a narrow soft focus that it becomes distracting to me. I need to know more about supply chains for your magical small business or I will lose immersion, sorry

#COMPANIONSofCHRISTMAS: Mrs. Claus! Mrs. Claus was once better known by her given name, Alba. She was the nymph of the silver fir tree, a captain in the retinue of the goddess Artemis, and she first met Saint Nicolas when he came to do battle with her Lady. 1/

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

Now that I'm over the nastiest part of food poisoning and only hurt when I move, time to sort through holiday pictures
