Shen Quan’s Qing-era "Lotus Pond with Mandarin Ducks".

In Chinese tradition, mandarin ducks (鸳鸯) are more than birds—they're soulmates.
Known to mate for life, they became symbols of lasting love and loyalty. For centuries, their image adorned wedding quilts and pillows, silently wishing newlyweds a bond as faithful as the ducks’.

Since this is one of the few things helping me to stay sane-ish lately.. here's another coloring page. Spooky Moments from Jade Summer. I used a combination of Ohuhu alcohol markers, Azure alcohol markers, and Ohuhu acrylic paint markers. Still not perfect, but making progress with every page!

A page from a coloring book, completed with Ohuhu alcohol markers. It depicts a grim reaper watering pumpkins with the sunset behind him. Coloring book is "Creepy Cutie" by Coco Wyo.

I'm not really a great artist by any means, but I've been getting into coloring lately in an effort to calm down.. yada yada. Anyway, I'm actually kind of proud of this one.

Have a timeline cleanse

This is called a “Holy Grail Timelapse”, it’s not just one of the hardest things to do with a camera, but also my favorite.

A bright starry sky with dark silhouettes of dead trees in the foreground. Distant artificial lights are visible on the horizon.

The night is the realm of wonder.

It's been a red crab couple of days for me. 🦀

"(Laughing nervously) What the fuck?" meme from Veep.

Looking at all the shit that's happened in the... 8 days of 2025 so far after begging for this year to be better for the world.

In the beginning, God created Man. However, contrary to the common telling, God did not say, "Man, thou must have a mate." God said, "Oh, shit, what did I just do?" So, God created a better model and said unto his initial creation, "Behold, I have created People 2.0, with fewer bugs and glitches. I give you Woman." And Man was pissed. —It's a Wonderful Wiccan Way of Life

Best intro to a book I’ve seen in awhile

this is probably my favourite photograph of 2024, taken on a long May evening at the shipwreck on Rhossili beach in the Gower, Wales

The fact that we simply have so few answers about this disease and the only concrete way of diagnosing it rn is to literally have surgery is insane. I have it, it has ruined so much of my life. I’m grateful to be in recovery from surgery rn but I wish i could have taken a test like this years ago.

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

Gisele Pelicot is an incredible woman and a hero for her nerve in bringing all those rapists to justice and for knowing the shame does not lie worth her — bravely declining anonymity was incredible.

Time-line cleanse ✨️ 🌞 🐠 🪸

I'm so excited for you! This is huge. Crossing my fingers and sending all the good vibes in the meantime. ❤️

Some people have different recipes, but a quick Google or Pinterest search will give you the jist. It's basically red wine, orange juice, a little brandy, sugar or honey and cinnamon/cloves and other spices. You just let it simmer a while until you are ready to serve and strain.

A couple years ago I made mulled wine. It's like a wintery version of sangria lol. I think you might enjoy it.

another landscape embroidery! inspired by my travels in the arctic circle — mountains in tromsø, norway ❄️

Never!! 😝 I appreciate you. 💛

Feeling grateful tonight for friends like @paisleyway.bsky.social. I'm so lucky to have such an incredible support system, even in my online friends. 💓

This is exactly what happened to me, and why I needed to extend my leave. Try to be kind to yourself and your body. Remember, this was a MAJOR procedure. Your body is trying it's hardest to help you heal. ❤️

Thanks for the confirmation, friend. This year has been challenging to say the least. I'm ready for a break. lol 😆

Blue Jays having an intense discussion

Ugh I'm so sorry. 😞 Sending you so much love, I know it's not easy.

Friendly reminder that if art is how we decorate space, then music is how we decorate time.

spotify wrapped feels less summary statistics and more capturing periods of psychosis listening to a particular string of songs on repeat

Hundreds of delicate gray Mycena semivestipes mushrooms grow up the side of a mossy log under gray winter skies

Here are some nice mushrooms

Subtitles aren’t just for deaf or hard of hearing players. They’re important for players in loud environments (who can’t use headphones), non-native speakers who rely on text to follow dialogue, and many neurodivergent folks who struggle to focus or process audio quickly. Just to mention few.

It’s a while since I captured this image but it’s still one of my favorite. This «Toblerone» mountain is really special and is located in Northern Norway
