DIY patch recreating classic anti-war art from the Vietnam era. It includes a pink flower with a stem and four leaves, and looks as though it was drawn by a child. Surrounding it are the words "War is not healthy for children and other living things" in child-like handwriting. Embroidery thread on felt.

Hi, I’m Vic (she/her), the person behind Feline and Floss, a cross stitch business run from Kent, UK (usually from my sofa with a cat on my lap!)

I’m AuDHD, a full time carer and home educator, and I design patterns that show that craft can be comforting AND political!

May all who make fatal decisions be visited by the wailing ghosts of those their actions killed; may they have a change of heart and be wracked by grief and remorse all the rest of their days.

It's even easier to help native pollinators!

Carpenter bee homes look beautiful and are low maintenance.

Butterfly watering dishes fill up with the rain.

Planting the wildflowers that attract the local pollinators you like will make your yard look beautiful!

We don't need monocultures

Making everything into an individual moral failing is an escape from having to confront how deeply, irrevocably sadistic and amoral many of the cultures and power structures of the United States actually are. One is an easy, self affirming accusation. The other confronts complicity.

View from above as Cheddar stands up tall and holds onto his mama's hand tightly with his paw. In her hand, a treat can be seen. Cheddar is licking her finger.

A photo of a small butterfly perched atop a plant with, curled, holly-like, gray-green leaves and brownish patches. The butterfly is upper left, seen from the side with wings folded. The forewings are orange with white marks, and the hindwings have a row of dark spots along the rear margin, with white and orange below. The body is dark with lots of bluish-white hairs.

Western Pygmy Blue butterfly (Brephidium exilis) on one of its host plants, desert holly (Atriplex hymenelytra, a type of saltbush) in the Mojave Desert yesterday. They're the smallest butterflies in North America, with a wingspan just over half an inch. #BugSky πŸ™πŸŒΏπŸ“·

A Great Grey Owl outstretches her wings wide to slow down. The background is snow covered. Her talons can be seen getting ready to grab the landing post.

The grace and ease with which a Great Grey Owl moves is a sight to behold. Here a Great Grey uses her wings to slow down as she approaches a post to land on. And check out those talons! #wildlife #birds #owls

people logon on social media platforms and develop a very weird idea of 'toleration'. but the blocking culture on here just reflects a very normal reaction to the fact that our access to each other online outstrips our accountability to each other

I keep thinking about the people for whom $400K is a small number and how they are the reason people for whom it is a very big number have to hustle like this

Please keep circulating this so that people who have $500 to spare see it

The news is terrible but I’m going to continue posting birds and frogs and flowers and the sky because looking at nature can help us keep going in the face of all the awful. Please take good care of yourselves

There is not much I can offer anyone that’s useful except a pause in your doomscrolling to listen to a very happy loudly purring cat who has lived months longer than the vet thought he would.

At the risk of being screamed at on the Iran business, I say this:

Why don't we de-center white American voices, and center the Iranian (and diaspora) ones in this case? What do they have to say that might enlighten us instead of (as always) thinking we know everything about every situation?

Yes I know there’s people dying and bombs being dropped on school girls and probably a fishing boat being attacked off coast of Venezuela but this is happening too and I need to see and share life if I am to have any hope.

i don’t know much but i do know that if a country seriously opposes some other oppressive regime the very first thing they should do is open the doors to any and all refugees from said regime and support them fully to get out, get safe and settled, and become citizens.

A male common redpoll on a frosty spruce tree branch with a warm yellow orange background.
He is a small finch with brown stripes, a red stained chest and a bright red cap. He also has an adorable little yellow beak!

This winter, we had hoped to see the large flocks that an irruption can bring, but that hasn’t happened.
But I think the non stop chattering of all the pine siskins finally drew the attention of some redpolls!
This male Common Redpoll was busy foraging in the branches on a frosty morning!
