I fully suggest cardamom and rose water. I also will do lavender and a bit of bergamot extract. Orange blossom also goes nicely with mulberry syrup!

Spent the last few days nonstop frantically refreshing the news. My grandparents are too old to flee. Asking a city that is the size of both NYC and LA combined to evacuate is insane.

Image of a hand holding a small painting, made by Allegra Lockstadt, in front of a golden yellow wall. The painting is a night scene that shows a little house in the distance at dusk; the house has lights on and large trees stretch into a dark blue sky. The foreground is lit by the red glow of car tail lights, and in the distance, the colours switch to dusty blues.

Feeling a bit bummed about my art lately. Id like to blame algorithms but the fault is mostly my brain that would like a serotonin boost from my work being seen. Forever chasing that feeling of showing my art as a kid and getting a โ€œwow good job!โ€

If you would like to give her or any of her fishie companions a home, the show opens this Saturday ๐ŸŸโœจ

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

I know there's dozens of things to contact reps about every single day, but today please contact them about keeping USPS independent. Privatizing USPS would be devastating for so many reasons, but personally it would destroy my small business if I can't have affordable/accessible service. 5calls.org
