A watercolour painting of a long-tailed tit with a yellowey-green background

This is a painting of a long-tailed tit, arguably the cutest bird we have in the UK. They’re very small, fluffy with long tails, and fly around in little flocks. They’re a regular in my garden and always make me smile 😊

Bones against the sky! Winter iconic.

Oaks, Sonoma County, CA

Pine Flat Road, outside of Healdsburg, CA is one of my favorite places to photograph… when there are cool clouds, even more so!

I mean, I have a book contract that will run until I'm 70, so this is me. I'd probably stay on social media because I already mostly use it for socializing and farting about. Using it for marketing is a secondary thing (I recognize I am possibly unusual this way). So yeah, I'd be around.

Never tried cables before #knitsky? 

Or know someone who’d like to give them a go? 

My new Cable 101 tutorial will help you get started the right way: choosing the right tools and understanding cable charts:

“We ultimately have to make sure that these criminals, and especially this administration, are brought to justice,” said @ramirez.house.gov. “And that means I want to see them behind bars. They have to be, for the sake of who we are as a nation.”

Back to Victorian era hats with veils.

There are reports that ICE was at South Station in Boston, taking photos of everyone coming off the trains.

Photos. Of everyone.

When we get rid of this administration, we must also insist on destroying whatever sinister database these fucks are feeding.

Happiest post of the day.
And a beach view I've known since childhood.
Beautiful sight! Great run!

All the GOPs that are allegedly getting death threats should go public together, name names, and form an independent voting block. That or resign their seats effective immediately. They have a moral and constitutional duty.

Totally agree

Pretty soon they will declare their own excrement a perfume and value it by the troy ounce.

Really looking chain-maily and old-coppery. Two things that don't quite mix, but look great on this project.

A storefront in Hollywood glows during the golden hour. Some palm trees line the street it’s on. Circa 2005 maybe? They used this building on Beverly and Gardner as the Peach Pit in the newer version of 90210. I drove or walked by it every day so would see them filming. One day while driving by, they weren’t actively filming and I saw Tristan Wilds. I leaned out the window and yelled “yo Omar’s coming.” He liked that so he smiled and waved. I don’t usually take pictures within the city, but the last one seemed to be liked so here goes. I’ll be back to mountains, rivers and oceans soon enough I suppose.

This is yellow brain fungus! This parasitic brain-like fungus feeds on wood-rotting fungi such as rosy crust fungus. The best place to see it is in woodlands on deadwood branches of deciduous trees.

This shot gives you a pretty good idea of how much larger the female Bald Eagle is. The female is Hannah and the male is Mr. Majestic! #LakeCasitas #Birds #Raptors #Nature #Photography

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.
