Realised I never shared this piece where I made multiple (nearly) identical drawings. It's an illustration of a particular Nerine flower head, made to be mounted on a gilded wooden block. (I kinda hate the process of gilding, but it looks so nice when it's done I keep doing it)...

Jaysus tittyfucking kerrist on a bastard bike, what the fuck did I just hear?

What "safe third spaces" means in practice.

Given the current numbers on this, Starmer appears to have accidentally succeeded in uniting the nation. 😂🤷‍♀️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Lrp: cannot stress enough to people outside the UK how entirely out of left field this digital ID crap was. Nothing in manifestos. Not anywhere near the normal discourse. A case of- Nobody Literally nobody UK Labour : yo, you're having compulsory ID cards before the next election, kthxbai.

This about sums it up, yeah. My issue is not with IDs being available. My issue is with “why the fuck is Labour trying to do this, this way, right now”

@lycomorpha.bsky.social Hey 👋, my family and I are starving because of the war 💔. Famine is spreading and children are dying from malnutrition 😔. Even the smallest donation can help us stay alive 🙏. If you can’t donate, please share. Your support means everything ❤️ Link in bio

Please share, just 10 hours left! A donor is matching the next 255 💖 ICYMI, during this big evacuation drive, you’ve already helped six (!!) families flee Gaza City to the south with their lives. Well, we have two more to help, so we keep going with these daily goals. Bet on life. 360/1000

The difference between an ID card and a passport/driving licence is that those things are not mandatory for everyone if they don’t want to learn to drive or travel overseas - they are physical documents, held by the owner, not digital state spyware devices squatting in our phones

Warm-up arbitrary cell doodle with no dice rules. Just cos I miss drawing cells sometimes. It's fun sharing my out-of-date diary doodles & games again. Been doing this for years, but forgot about sharing since birdchan for some reason. 🤷

still looking for an iceberg researcher! is that you or someone you know? 🧪

I've been mulling paint most of today, and I appreciate the Void waiting patiently... ...But surely that squishy standing mat that's right there next to him would be comfier to loaf on?

🔔. Last orders please, last orders at the bar. 🔔

So, in the background of that last pic is my paintmaking plate. That's Clearwell brown ochre on it. Clearwell ochres are some of the most expensive pigments I use. I decided to use the last of it ont plate to play, & mixed it with some PB60. One of the most fucken awkward to mull pigments I use…

Studio manager Void here to supervise the humans 🐾

For the actual, whole, and entire sake of fuck.

Feeling a bit fkn cream-crackered this morning, so I'm all doodle no dice. Spider-web doodle, cos spooky season is coming. Might fill it with teeny spoods. 🕷️ 💖 🕸️ Only rule is I'm trying not to put the same colour in neighbouring segments. But you could use dice to pick colour &/or segment number.

Doodle warm-ups from the past few. Works in 1 or more pen/pencils, any paper, D6. 1. Fill page with a long meandering squiggly line. 2. Draw little circles all along the line. 3. Roll D6, draw markings in or around every N-th circle. Eg a cross in every 3rd circle, a line around every 6th circle…

Fall is in the air…. Everyone is busy… I feel like becoming a squirrel gathering bits and pieces of the season for potential paintings even though I don’t have time right now…. Hope this little piece of art helps you find a moment of serenity… 🙏🏼 #botanicalart #ScieArt #watercolor

The government ought to be holding a fucking press conference to confirm this, every news channel and website leading with the story, boiling it down to three salient points: 1. Paracetamol doesn’t cause autism 2. Autistic people are great 3. Trump is a senile, racist, shit-eating old cunt

I have no real reason to post this... I just find swatch pages unfuckingbelievably satisfying? Please enjoy! This is some of the watercolour paints I've made recently.

Would gently remind all the people pointing at our potential next government and saying "but that's Illegal/impossible!" that things being illegal and incredibly stupid do not matter to fascists, see also: USA.

"In recent weeks, Reform leader Nigel Farage has learned for sure what he must have already assumed: that nothing he says about the treatment of refugees, however far beyond the bounds of acceptability it may go, will get challenged by Keir Starmer."

Everything is really scary and chaotic for Trans individuals right now. Regardless of whatever lies and fear that is spread, we know that the world is better with Trans people in it. You are all worth fighting for, and we will continue to advocate for your rights and your safety.

Just realised I forgot to post the island dice doodle! For the workshop we used square paper & a Turkish map fold like thissun: www.greenchairpress.com/blog/?page_i... You can use any medium, with or without the fold. If you use collage & wanna fold, make sure your collage materials are thin enuf.

Please share—now it’s 22 hours left 🚨 We are getting urgent help to Mai’s and Ghadeer’s families, who must escape the killing fields the occupation has rendered of their beloved city This is our responsibility in every way. 3852/4000

So during the cherry pit pigment-making saga... We also bought a giant Costco bag of garlic cloves, slow roasted them with onions and chilli, puréed the lot & aliquoted into freezer portions. ...And fuck me sideways up a tree! How have I never made any of this incredibly useful shit before?? 🙃 🤷

Good morning puny humans. The almighty Void-Floof permits you to watch Steven Universe in ur PJs. This once.

As always, all my designs can be found at canopyrobin.etsy.com and every share and sale really helps me to build my business and to afford various trans expenses

Happy #BiVisibilityWeek! The label doesn't really fit me these days but, as a plant scientist, I can confirm that bisexual flowers are perfect. Also I made some bi frog pins...

Welp. Today's the day my hand put up enuf protest that I've switched from handwritten to printed labels for my paint. I like handwriting but, even with my brace on, I can't repeatedly scrawl tiny words anymore. (TBH it's probably more legible this way, I just like doing things carefully by hand)…

Out of date diary doodles from the past few. All with same rules. Works in 1 or more pen/pencils, any paper, D6. 1. Fill a page with small clusters of roughly circular loops, with a little space between each cluster. Roll a D6 each time to decide how many loops each one has...

Morning all :) ☕️ 🌿 Because #sciart isn't apolitical #stopthisshit

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.
