Gabi is on a break

Hi everyone, I'm taking a break from bsky and so is #emilydickinsondaily. Thanks for enjoying the poems with me, looking forward to share more with you when I come back. Take care x

Hi bsky followers, I've reached the point when being on here is eroding my already battered mental health, so I'm taking a break

Be kind to yourselves and each other, and see you in a while

What a great idea from the marvellous Moose. I am an illustrator of mainly spooky things - places, legends, TV shows, books etc. I draw with both trad and digital media and create and use handmade textures to make my pictures. My website is here which also has a link to my shop: sarahcoomer.co.uk

A thread full of great artists to support and/or follow

This, and there are entire towns that were razed to the ground. A whole lot of people have nowhere to return to.

Why is Labour like this. I'm not saying it's great for Ukrainians here in Czechia (it's not) but they can work and integrate into society way better. They'll lose infinite right to remain once ceasefire is reached but *only* then. I'd be for allowing anyone who needs/wants to stay, but alas.

Thinking that incredible stuff is just there with no effort - and that it doesn’t matter if it’s a bit crap, as long as nobody had to break a sweat - is enshittification. And when they charge us what they ought to charge us, we’ll be shocked at the paucity of the exchange.

849: The good Will of a Flower

This is the best podcast I've heard in a good long while, and the best in the scary/uncanny/mystery/folklore bracket I've ever heard in my life

There's nothing like it

My wife, an academic in the performing arts, is working on a piece about mothering and birds (specifically the great tit) and she spent hours crocheting a great tit outfit, of which this is part. It's completely delightful and funny and unusual and brilliant. A ChatGPT version of woodcut just isn't.

Every job you get AI to do is cash taken from working people, usually low earning freelancers. That money is now not in the system. You are not only making the world poorer culturally, you are making the economy poorer. And since there is no workable financial model for AI, not even moving money up.

You have this hold over me - 24x32” acrylic on wood. For my June solo show in LA, Lovers + Fighters.

That's wise

Same, little pepper, same

That really is a weird entitlement complex. Those people are strange

It's kind of rough in Slovakia. Probably good for a visit, though

Ooh, the East, nice

Wow, it was made in the city where I live! Where's your family from, in Slovakia?

Here's a nice clip of a mum and baby manateam...

but everything i do is wonderful. bitch

It's self-defeating as a concept - if you're paralyzed by thinking about evil all the time, what are the chances you'll be able to actively do something good

It will drive you crazy, you burn out, and for what

I love that tumblr post about how if you have an idea that starts with "if people just..." you should stop yourself and start over. People have never just anything

This essay should be studied (derogatory) as the dumbest, most pointless exercise in bad faith.

Thank you for taking the time to articulate this.

Cue vein bulging on my forehead as I encounter this phrase again

The point is that you lived. In a world that didn't call you a burden. You had a life you could navigate without specific obstacles. You had a life that's considered "normal." You had a life that ALLOWED YOU TO REACH THIS POINT

Oh my god, look at it 🥹
