All right writers. If you’re writing a period piece, do you use the period appropriate language anywhere other than dialogue?

Just going to casually mention:
1. We’re asking for feedback on how many times a mineral can compete without winning before it retires.

2. Kyanite ran since 2017. If it didn’t win, it wasn’t probably coming back next year. Under the wire!

And here is my favorite wearable Kyanite

A black kyanite stone laying on a pale blue sheet. The purple stone at the top should be amethyst.

🪶 Ok, if the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Attitude, I have no choice but to repost attitude in avian form. This pine warbler wants to speak to the manager.

A yellow pine warbler is on the top of a shepherd's hook in winter. It is cold, and the bird has its wings fluffed greatly. It is looking directly at the camera, and has an angry expression on its face.

Hark! What’s that we see on the horizon?

Is it something new? Something mostly metallic, quite heavy, and essential to society? It’s an all-new collaboration with IMA!

We sit with these words every #NDTR – and many other days, too. @christibelcourt.com 🧡

It's always been about the land. The erasure of people for the stealing of land for the purpose of extraction to enrich a very elite few.

"Using reference is cheating, Tracing photos is cheating...."
Some people are constantly competing with other artists, and it REALLY shows.
Do we need to remind you that this is NOT a competition? Everyone has its own struggles.
Just don't steal other people's art, claiming it's yours and we good
