Maybe kill the part of yourself that takes it personally when someone is critical of art you love? Because A) they really are just considering the art thru their specific viewpoint and expectations, B) their experience doesn't take away from yours and C) it's fun to think critically about art u like

Behold the Eastern Veil Nebula, a haunting supernova remnant that lit up the skies over 10,000 years ago!

It took a month to capture using our little amateur telescope under the clear Texas skies.

This is also Decembers shot in my 2026 calendar (link in my bio)

This is Rosey, the horse that my cousin rescued. She’s an absolute darling 💖 She’s fully retired at 24 and can’t be ridden anymore, but she is a wonderful companion for another horse on the farm, and lets me fuss over her with no complaints and is quite bombproof! 💖 I absolutely love her!

Having the kind of amazing stretch where your special interests intersect perfectly with parenting. 6yo is obsessed with making our own expansion deck for the LOTR trick taking game. Going to need to get proper paper that doesn't feather so badly with the dip pens.
Hand made laminated game cards for a Lord of the rings trick taking game. Card text includes "horn of helm hammerhand" and "anduril, flame of the west"

Does anyone here think they would want to adopt or foster a sweet baby? I can help coordinate vaccines and neuter.

Found out one of the cats I have been feeding is NOT feral

He is so very sweet and will chrip and cry sadly at my door when I go back in.

I have no room to even quarantine rn :(

Going through old art! It’s interesting to see how I was experimenting with the horse head’s feathers instead of fur, and how absolutely off it was in design and the drafted attempt!

The hands are almost interesting because I had already solved how I wanted skin to look
