This raku piece 'Hera's Heart' reminds us of loves complexities this Valentine's Day. Hera’s heart, in flames entwined, Emerald and copper, power combined. A queen unyielding, bold and strong, Of passion, trials, and love’s song. Cracked by flame, but never torn, A goddess crowned, in fire reborn.

All they can put in your way is bureaucracy, annoyance, and the false impression that more people hate you than actually do. Your body and soul and self are yours.

Thank god there's finally some useful technology. Yi-Fei Chen, aTaiwanese designer, has built a beautiful gun that collects and freezes tears, so you can shoot them at the person who caused them

Trans people threw the first brick at Stonewall. Now, the Trump administration is trying to write us out of that history. We will not let them. (Current page on the left, 2/1/25 version on the right)

This young Red-tailed Hawk spending time near me yesterday felt like a gift. #FlyDay #Birds 🪶📸🌿

I've known shitposters, on boards you people will never see, I've been BBS and back...dial-up! I've heard downloads screech their shame on a 100 baud modem on a Commodore 64 on a stack of milk crates with sweat in my eyes watching sbootleg anime dubs on VHS

Overheard this really loud conversation while walking into a crowded Bay station: Dude 1: When you get hit in the balls, does your right one hurt more than your left one. Dude 2: Uhh.. Dude 1: DUDE! MY RIGHT SIDE IS LOWER THAN MY LEFT!!1! Woman: Can I try hitting you now to see what happens?

Theory: Crying and Laughing should flow equally as easily. Notice how, when stifling a laugh, it sounds so much like someone about to cry. Notice how when we cry, the emphasis is placed on stopping (unlike laughing). It's my theory that, as children, we were shamed into believing that any 1/

Insomnia sucks.

There is no sleep. Only Zuul.

As is tradition, I've spent much of today with Groundhog Day on repeat.

Everything is really awful right now, so I had Red River Cereal made in Canada by a great Canadian company for breakfast. Arva Mills is a good source of flour, bread mixed and of course my beloved Red River Cereal

I miss Australia so much it almost hurts. Here’s my ode to the ubiquitous #binchicken, the #australianwhiteibis who never failed to peck at my feet whenever I tried to eat a croissant outside. Love ya, buddy. #australianbirds #birdartist #birdart

A few years ago while on vacay, I was lucky to spot a pair of loons on a remote lake in NH. For half an hour they did their lovely loon call and it was magical. I enjoyed painting this loon for #Birdwhisperer Acrylic on canvas panel 5x7” #birdart #birder #birdlovers @birdwhisperers.bsky.social
