this is generally a tarot, crow and cat account but in autumn it's a (very amateurish) mushroom one too

found my first ever confirmed wood blewit but it & its siblings were growing under a yew tree, gutted. also found some manner of agaricus growing by the side of the road, along with a big group of giant funnels. spore printing them all just in case

it is become the time of year where the cat's desire to

a) be warm &
b) have all of the interior doors open all of the time

is thwarted

(don't @ me bourgeois central-heating havers)

the paint on the sky-orb (I am not defining it any more than that) & the horns & antlers is now irridescent gold btw

uh-oh, this painting is fast turning into one of those that i'm going to struggle to part with #painting #art #witchsky #wip

personally I think your experience facilitating spaces for people with suicidal ideation counts as expertise :)
mxfrankduffy.bsky.social
also thank you for jumping in on this w your expertise! i was kind of hoping you would

never fails to amuse me how the ducks would rather eat their dinner out of a muddy puddle than anywhere else
mxfrankduffy.bsky.social
Oh me too, for sure. I guess it's something we learn over time is inappropriate
mxfrankduffy.bsky.social
it does. & I know that to be that self-aware takes a level of sanity that we don't always possess. but often I think it's just pure self-centredness.
mxfrankduffy.bsky.social
I hear you. forgive me but it always feels horrible, self-obsessed. I can't bear it.

own your shit, deal with your shit, stop smearing it all over everyone else without consent

FFS ASK CONSENT before discussing your trauma. "Do you mind if I talk about [x subject]" is all it takes
mxfrankduffy.bsky.social
I know people who do this in real life, btw. I had to have a word with the partner of someone I know because him just fucking trauma dumping was triggering me. he had no thought whatsover that the thing he'd been through was actually v common & would likely trigger others

it's kind of the old pancakes/waffles argument (forgive me for bringing *that* up), but instead of waffles it's "my father used to beat me over the head with pancakes" just inserted into a thread about maple syrup vs lemon & sugar as pancake toppings
mxfrankduffy.bsky.social
never fails to make me flinch when I'm reading a thread about whatever & someone, for no reason apparent to me, decides to do a big trauma dump
mxfrankduffy.bsky.social
okay so starting to build up further base colours & suddenly the work explodes into life. this is the most exciting part of the painting for me: trying to work towards it being finished while losing as little of this energy as possible #painting #art #witchsky #wip

Around this time of year, brits will wear ‘poppies’ out of deep respect for the international heroin trade

How many people can I get wearing ACAB t-shirts? :D

I've done two versions of this design as I know not everyone has the same enthusiasm for colour as I do. :D
