A beautiful thread on teaching at University lvl right now. A complicated place, with varying standards ~ but a Professor speaking with compassion, instead of ridicule, is important to me. We have so much we need to improve

My entryway into breakcore 😂 music! youtube.com/shorts/nwU0q...

“The Gentleman and his Vowsmith” by Rebecca Ide is .. utterly fantastic. This bends back & forth from duty to mystery & love, just constantly! The characters engaged me & I was so relieved my favorite didn’t get murdered 😂 It was recommended by author Melissa Caruso, & I’m so happy I read it!!!

New friends 🌷 plz donate if you can. We need our bookstores ~ they are beautiful, safe spaces & every town needs them

I really enjoyed “The Two Lies of Faven Sythe” ~ by Megan O’Keefe It takes an almost princess character (sheltered, naive, bored) & tosses her into pirates!! 😂 I didn’t see any of the twists coming & constantly laughed at the banter! What well made characters 💖 Deeply enjoyed & will read again!!!

World Health has made a clear & beautiful announcement about autism, vaccines & acetaminophen! Awesome!! www.who.int/news/item/24...

Just finished “The Witch Roads” by Kate Elliott 💜 a fantasy! It has a completely different vibe than her sci-fi “Unconquerable Sun” series. I’d have been impressed by that alone. The main character carving out joy in a difficult world was inspiring 🩷 and the cliffhanger is so good!!

I’ve studied art history & never seen this O.O five generations??

I’ve read the updated “terms of use” that Microsoft has set for the end of this month. The AI Services > Usage Restrictions section is new & it’s got a lot about law enforcement. I’m not an expert, sadly, but found it surprising & sharing. Source: www.microsoft.com/en-us/servic...

~for those who love stamps & mail~ You can sign up for the USPS Stamp Catalogue for free!!! This is way better than trying to remember checking their website now & then.. <like old me> prodpx-promotool.usps.com/promoreg/cam...

I almost want to flip the order of this article around ~ put this quote at the top! But it’s *all* good quotes!!! Plz read 🩵 “Tolerance is the lowest rung on justice’s ladder. If you can't manage it, then you aren't even on the ladder…”

✨my favorite current day post ✨

Author confirmed this morning, this sale is still going on 😉 and. its. Fantastic!!!! 🤌 seriously!!

I should’ve posted this sooner 😂 it’s a one-man-show called “The Dad Who Lived”! He pretends his kids are magical & calls the school about *not* sending them to forbidden forests.. lawyer wife, books, etc!!! 😂 Frankly, it’s awesome!!!! Plz give him a try!!! youtube.com/shorts/feER1...

As my love longs for Fall, he re-listens to A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik ~ while I outwardly tease him 😊 and inwardly plan some homemade Fall snacks, like scones ~

Flora and Fauna🌿

Damn. Gorgeous. ~ this is a local mountain, with an old lost-gold-mine legend. A favorite tale, when I was a kid 💛 Amazing to see it “in the wild” like this

Becoming obsessed with this loverly “Orange Tart of the Sun”… I’ve made many tarts, but could I succeed at candied orange slices..? Remember to not let something boil over 10 times..? The odds are against me 😞

Welp. Making my own Kirby board game, cuz the kidz demands it & that’s healthier than buying a video game 😅 #Crafty

I didn’t know tear-gas was dangerous, please be careful I do know about heart conditions that develop when your lungs get hurt (like bad asthm & stuf)

Actually …. uh .. yes? 😂 but why?!?

Oh gosh, I’ve always wanted to see one of these in person ~ so gorgeous

For all the role playing gamers out there, a modular map design I’ve been looking forward to has a date for their Kickstarter! April 15th, 2025! realmbrew.theshopofmanythings.com

If being hard on yourself worked, it would’ve worked by now 💜 Just reminding you ~

Do you need a Mr. Roger’s & Thor crossover? ~ why yes, yes u do! ~ www.tumblr.com/kingoftielan...

Artists 💖 are the best!

Love this ~

I follow the World Health Organization (WHO) and love them. Now, I feel no longer part of it.. as my country leaves.

🍳 Eggs: poached 🥩 Steak: *don’t care as long as it’s sliced thin & beautiful 🥛 Milk: almond 🍸 Alcohol: vodka ☕️ Warm Drinks: chai or treen tea

My toaster is making a weird noise. I didn’t order anxiety with my bedtime snack pop tarts

This is breaking my 💙 I know our culture is competitive & “gotta hustle!” ..and I know that affects men perhaps the most! But I didn’t know it was this bad. This is like an addiction.. so “productive” you can never do anything else! To everyone out there, please rest, read & breathe 💛

As someone who went to art school: Art History did not make me a better artist. 💫 Art History made me a better person, 💫 Normalized artistic fears & hesitations, 💫 And gave me the feeling that I had friends (other artists) beyond the Present timeline.

Steampunk Story!!! coming next year 🥰

Me: are all the balls put away? Kid: yes, but don’t come & see.. ~ is my favorite age in parenting ~

I’m losing more vision. I was given asthma medicine (Trellegy) with a dangerous side effect - increased ocular pressure. 2 months later I had a retina tear & surgery (argon laser). Now I find out the tear is gathering fluid & should tear soon. That’s a vitrectomy.. that’s how I lost my other eye

Having some asthma issues today 💖 I hope the world is well

GOOD MORNING!!!! I got to wander thru a house remodel this morning ~ it was lovely! Clean & beautiful. (I even got away with only one eye witness!) The old brick parts & new wood build looked really well done.
