#Purple, a color that commands attention in the natural world, from the violet of an amethyst to the vibrant petals of a Bearded Iris. Throughout history, purple has been associated with royalty and power, and even in a #garden, it is a statement in the tapestry of #nature.

More about it:
It’s an original oil painting where I wanted to capture the feeling I had from spring.
A lot has been blooming and making me feel peaceful.
For a more intimate and real feeling I’ve added dried flowers that I collected while going for a walk in nature.😊

Not sure how it's been two whole days since I posted any Miss Congeniality roses.
Two big fluffy roses with petals that are white toward the center and fade to a bright pink at the edges - they are Miss Congeniality roses.

I know you wanna argue, but: block 'em!
I know you got the fire in your gut: block 'em!
I know our intentions are great
and some of us were real good at debate
but my mentions are a take-free state
block 'em

It is one of life's little ironies that the men of the internet see a romance author and think "they couldn't know anything about the law" when like 50% of romance authors are INEXPLICABLY LAWYERS

Two groups of people I will never ask of their law knowledge credentials, anyone at the dive bar near a law school and romance authors.

“Courtney Milan clerked for the 9th Circuit and the Supreme Court before publishing her first historical romance novel, and even worked for a time as a law professor before becoming a full-time writer.”

A well-known parenting account made a statement about the Trump administration's push for women to have more babies. I’m glad they said something. Parenting accounts shouldn’t be afraid to speak up.
biglittlefeelings o ... To our BLF community, By now, you've probably heard that the current administration wants to increase the birthrate - even going so far as to propose medals for moms with six or more kids. As a brand that deals in poops, tantrums, and the messy magic of early childhood, we have some thoughts. Because it's not just about having babies. It's about building a world that actually supports the people raising them. A world where parents have access to affordable childcare. Where one in four moms don't have to go back to work while they're still bleeding and leaking. Where suicide isn't a leading cause of death in the first year postpartum. Where schools are actually safe. Parenthood isn't a policy point. It's lived. It's complex. It's hard, and it's beautiful. And until the conversation about more babies includes postpartum care, maternal mental health, and reproductive rights, we'll keep raising our voices for all of you: the moms of six, moms of one, cool aunts, chosen family, and child-free by choice - because having kids should be a choice. Motherhood? Yeah, it's bigger than just baby bonuses and birthrates. With love, The Big Little Feelings Team

A bearded iris in the rain, the pale purple standard petals bowed with the weight of raindrops, as the dark purple falls scoff without understanding.

Trio in the Canopy

Here we have a trio of little brown birds (parvus avis brunnea). With so many tiny birds fluttering about, ...

"Three delicate field sparrows perch on slender branches, their petite forms blending into the soft, earthy hues of their feathers. Each bird is positioned at a different height, as if caught in a moment of natural choreography, adding a sense of movement to the stillness of the scene. Their tiny beaks and watchful eyes give them an air of quiet alertness. The tree, adorned with vibrant green leaves, serves as a lush backdrop, contrasting beautifully with the birds' muted tones. The background is blurred, as if painted in gentle strokes of color, allowing the sparrows to remain the focal point of the image. The serenity of nature envelops them, creating a peaceful moment frozen in time." - Copilot

Today (20 May) is the feast day of Alcuin, originally from Northumbria but most famous for his association with Charlemagne's court and Tours. Pictured here is a mid-tenth-century copy of his letters (Lambeth Palace Library MS 218)

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media.

Greeting you on Bluesky with this reminder

They are living, thinking, feeling beings

And they deserve our respect, even if we haven't earned theirs.
