Chloe is just mind-blowingly talented! Do check out her work. 🙂

Your work is outstanding Chloe. Very few artists (that I know at least) are doing well at the moment. It’s really tough - no one has any money to spare. Keep doing what you do! Hopefully it will get better for all of us soon.

this is totally unfair, they also don't work in the heat

Fossil Fuels Failed During Winter Storm Fern Power plant outages in America's largest grid show we can't depend upon fossil fuels

Coal + gas fail once again during a winter storm.

20GW of generation went offline in America's largest grid during Winter Storm Fern.

DOE's policies to keep old coal plants running + expand gas dependency make our grid LESS RELIABLE + risk MORE BLACKOUTS

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

EVs Just Outsold Gas Cars In Europe For The First Time Europe hit a historic milestone as EV sales surpassed gas cars for the first time, despite geopolitical headwinds.

The adoption of EV's so quickly in Europe has been a pleasant surprise but, I think, it is inevitable. I'm even seeing BYD EV's here in provincial Philippines, generally the home of Toyotas.

So very sorry Amanda x

‘All-out assault on our democracy:’ Bondi’s Minnesota blackmail letter draws righteous fury from state election leaders “This isn't leadership. This is blackmail," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said. "This is the way organized crime works."

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

There's a lot of anti-health, anti-vaccination rhetoric and policy in the US. Some of this misinformation and disinformation influences what happens in the UK.

And that affects us all.

Get vaccinated.

Streets of South Minneapolis right after ICE murdered Alex Pretti.

This photo is now the image of America.

Shot in the streets of South Minneapolis by acclaimed photojournalist @dguttenfelder.bsky.social right after ICE murdered Alex Pretti.

Heartfelt thanks to him & all the citizens filming the realities of this moment so we know with our own eyes, the truth.

That's made my day, thank you!

It’s like I’m there, Becca.

Black and white view between two slender trees at a winding stream finding its way down a snow frosted ravine. #BlackAndWhite

This stream is a special place for me but it's been hard to make a good picture of it. I've been trying for years. This shot got me a little closer I think.

my dog, piper, looking guilty af, but also contrite, and perhaps worthy of a second chance

took a picture of my dog that looks like a New Yorker profile about her getting her life back on track after she was cancelled for calling basset hounds "lazy" and "unnecessary"

I never know what to write, so I’m really pleased if it’s useful 🙂

I’m beginning to get a feel and understanding for it I think,
but it’s all trial and error. 🙂

Thank you!

I love that idea!

Hi there - thank you! It just means that the depth is greater than usual. More distance between the painting and the wall!

Thank you! 🙏 🙂

A panoramic mountain landscape in oils. Limited palette of dark olive, raw umber, unbleached titanium, warm white, new gamboge (ochre) and lapis, over super heavy gesso roughly applied to create a lot of texture. A mountain range in autumn or winter, with sparse vegetation and bare rock. Dark shadows punctuated by light, the ridge line smudged with mist and sunlight, a lone bare tree in the foreground. The sky is predominantly fair-weather clouds, with traces of yellow light and patches of blue (lapis, in very small quantities!).

The finished (I think) piece: Oil on deep canvas, 40 x 120cm. #oilpainting #landscape #mountains #irishart

Future Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn lived in the Netherlands during WW2 where as a 15 yr old she bravely aided resistance groups against the Nazis by delivering papers and also messages to downed Allied pilots #WomensArt

"Branches Between Broken Trees"

I found a little place to hide
Away from #drizzling rain
Still in cold, but warm at heart
Safely where no one will find
Once a lively vibrant land
Now souls have all moved on
Leaving deaths destruction
What stood tall now has fallen
