Life moves fast, and the people we love don’t always hear how much they mean to us. Take a moment to say something kind, send a thoughtful text, or offer a warm hug. Small words can leave a lasting glow. 💛

You never know how much someone might need it today.

Happy New Year 2026

When 'gender ideology' laws lead to mandatory institutionalization. When 'treatment' means torture. When nobody believes it's really that bad.
Until it is.

PSYCHO (1998)

Oops, all background discussion! Over on @podandthependulum.bsky.social we try to figure out why PSYCHO (1998) exists. Was there any way it could have been successful? Take a listen to our conversation! #HorrorSky

Take a deep breath, little guy. You made it through Monday! 😅

Two rather large stacks of books sitting on a hotel table

The Scottish book haul. We (mostly me) lost our minds a bit.

Scottish Husband's books on the left, mine are the rest!

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

In both pictures is our domestic shorthair cat named Squeaky. She showed up, small as can be, at our flat one day n did not leave. Classic tabby with beautiful markings n golden eyes. Our English Aristocat. Meowed with an upperclass English accent haha. Still miss her so. This pic she has a blue collar with bell n jewelry. In the next picture she is standing over a mandolin n has a red collar

Small Squeaky

🌈🧚🧡🤗🌈 in 2013, Squeaky crossed the rainbow bridge. Gratitude n Remembrance for my London girl, who showed up n stayed.
We still miss her so

A heavily worked oil painting still life on gessoed board. The ceramic owl on the windowsill and the African carved bust on the right have both appeared in various paintings and drawings.

Still life in oil sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition in 2020. This one shows quite a bit of impasto built up during the process of composition.

You Suck

January 2026 reading wrap-up! My favorite fiction novels this month were "Passing Through a Prairie Country" by Dennis E. Staples and "The Buffalo Hunter Hunter" by Stephen Graham Jones. "Future Boy" by Michael J. Fox was so much fun, too! And "The Guy She Liked..." manga is a new GL fave!!!

A depiction of sunset over the coast: palette predominantly reds and oranges, with a little warm white and indigo. Waves crashing into the coast, with rocks and suggestion of a beach on the left side. An almost white low sun, with circles of hazy light radiating outward in a dark red, orange and pale blue sky. Foam crested waves along the horizon, fading into pale blue, orange and red ocean.

I’ve had a lot of fun with this one! Oil on Fabriano, c50 x 50cm/20 x 20 inches). Message me if interested in purchasing. #oilpainting #seascape #sunset #experimenting

Spotted in Seattle on my way home this evening.

Big day for Westley! First mouse caught today 🐭❄️
Turns out snow traps scent like a spotlight, making mice way easier to smell. One very proud hunter, one surprised household, and a winter science lesson we didn’t expect. Anyone else’s dog level up in winter? 🫶🐕🐾 #dogsofbluesky #snowstorm #snow
