I shivered just looking at it

Bright bold pink Rhododendron blooms with verdant green leaves

Some offerings for your #bloomscrolling Seattle color seen on my last visit a month ago. The rhododendrons were spectacular. I’m now a big fan.

What’s canva for if not exploring demonstration sign designs? #nokings

Finland has largely eradicated homelessness with its 'Housing First' program. Providing individuals with a permanent apartment and mental health support. As a result, 80% of participants are successfully reintegrating into society.

The only thing that's rocket science, is rocket science 🕊

It’s happening here. Spring is blooming. Gorgeous pink breadseed poppy (not native), chaparral mallow blossoms, nasturtium and matilija poppy. As seen in the garden this weekend. #californianativeplants

Great work. Thank you for the thoughtful UX.

This!!! I feel seen.

Yes we have them now sprouting up everywhere- it’s been in the ground for 3 years now.

That’s such a great feeling. I have been taking my old drag costumes and reusing the fabric for new garments I can more easily wear again.

I’m happy with how this prototype is going. Crossbody to be made using scrap pieces. Fine tuning the placket size and strap placement has been the biggest hurdle.

Here here. Buying up new fabric and making outfits you only plan to wear once or twice is not sustainable

Nothing matches the feeling of wearing clothing you made.

Mine was full of dust bunnies. Finally used a brush to sweep them away

Collars are so finicky. Good luck and happy stitching

Can’t wait for the #matilija poppies to pop. It’s so exciting to see the display every spring. They have spread into the side yard now and this year’s bloom will be astounding. #californianativeplants

These days the universe is yelling at me to open a fabric store. Yes uni- I get it. Give me some time to work this out. Till then I’ll keep collecting (hoarding) vintage and dead stock fabrics. #fabricobsessed #sewingaddict

Love huecheras. I need more in my yard for sure.

Hey my fellow #californianativeplamts fans- what are your favorite low water shade plants?

Norbert is a hero. Here’s to them and all the other beavers working for a better land.

the folks at LA County weed whacked the wildflowers I planted in the easement next to my house. It’s usually trash and dog waste. I guess that’s their preference. Smh. #nativewildflowers #guerillagardener

Boy oh boy. I can’t wait to have my voting rights taken away. I wasn’t gonna need those anyhow. 😠

Stone relief depicting what is believed to be three Celtic goddesses (three goddesses or three aspects of the same goddess). This piece is displayed at the museum of the Roman baths in Bath, England, though not actually found there but at the outskirts of town.

My parents were already divorced when my dad died. We three kids received survivor's benefits. My sister, who has Down Syndrome, also receives disability. I wrote about family's experiences with Social Security here: michaelianblack.substack.com/p/safe-footing

Question- where do all these billions go? In a giant money pit for them to swim in like Scrooge MacDuck? What’s the point?

Heck yeah this is great! I know this patch. I’m grateful for her work. And happy to help if needed I’m just a mile east.
