They're so wonderful, amazing job!!! 🦋🐈‍⬛

…So I tried to capture the texture of moth wing scales & the speckled-ness of their colours using granulating pigments.

& I tried to include a mix of brightly coloured moths and more subtle, camouflage species.

Like the scalloped oak and nut-tree tussock (which is basically a tiny flying kitten)…

...& It was way trickier than I thought, TBH!

I was trying to catch something of the colours & textures & fuzziness of species that visit my garden. But when you love moths? It's hard to feel anything you make is a good enuf representation!

Also, no species is really one single colour…

Both excellent pieces, shared out to my other disabled folks. ❤️

The first story: did you know it's really difficult to get a wheelchair repaired in B.C.? This is leading to long, long delays that leave people housebound. thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...

Weird, this kind of thing seems to happen a lot with gym owners in BC.

All my sympathies. I hate it so much, even when I know they *have* to go.

You're an absolute gem. Thanks for making sure folks can come!

Loved them and similar back then, but oh dear gods.

Holy fuck.

This city, holy shit. We've got pay parking in every park, and community centre fees are prohibitive but gods forbid we touch property taxes.

So please, get pap smears on the reg. There are home kits now, too. Probably worth noting that doctors are still so freaking bad at pap smears that people actively avoid having them done... and that contributes to increases in poor cervical cancer outcomes.

And dangerous hooey, too. It's actively pushing people to do HPV tests *to detect cancer*, which it absolutely can't do.
