It's so weird, too. My daughter's teacher sends her down for "looking a little pale" 🤪 granted she does in fact turn very ghosty when getting sick, but it's a funny first symptom for a teacher to flag.

I couldn't NOT buy the Jolene shirt. But I get it stuck in my head every time I look in the mirror 🤪 Good thing it's such a banger.

Do you look at backmarket? On this end of town there is also a microcenter that has apple refurbs sometimes. It's location specific whereas backmarket is online.

The economy for many Coloradans, like Northglenn resident Aubrey Hix, is tough these days.

“My utilities have gone up, homeowners' insurance has gone up, auto insurance has gone up,” said Hix as she sat on her back deck with her dog Rooney. "It's all costing more. And this is just one more thing.”

Prices through marketplace health insurance could double as government shutdown dispute digs in

Colorado resident Aubrey Hix, an independent contractor, said her health insurance costs could still skyrocket despite not depending on subsidies.

Yes yes everything's falling apart but it's Friday and here's a bee! I love her. This is a small commission I'm in the middle of, in gouache and colored pencil on toned paper. 🤩 #art #wip #bee

Yeah but then they become 14 year olds who buy and propagate bazillions of plants and then join the marching band and run out of time to water anything and then it's all back on mom 😵‍💫

Love this story. And it's basically what my new pastor preached today 🤩 Longer tables, less fences.

Had a great, meditative morning sketching session at @denverbotanic.bsky.social this morning with other @rmsbartists.bsky.social members! I drew Lions paw, which I had not noticed before. Super cute bright orange floofballs. #pleinair #sketchbook #botanical #art

Detailed sketch of Lions paw at Denver botanic gardens mostly in black pen cross hatching, tiny blooms highlighted in orange colored pencil.

An elder millennial AND an artist?! The "really good box" pile is no joke.

Refine, not refund 😆😆😆

Brittany Hass @paperglee.bsky.social · Sep 6

Came back after dinner to try to block more shapes in. A bit more to go before I will refund. Haven't decided if I will add a background color or leave the underpainting, I kind of dig it... #botanicalart #gouache #paintsky

Squash leaves painting in gouache on panel, in progress. The background has bright pea and seafoam green in a gradient.

A bigger gouache on panel piece than I have done before! I enjoyed sketching in the garden under the squash trellis today 💚 #gouache #painting #gardenart #wip

In progress painting of squash leaves and vines in gouache on wood panel. Not very far along!
