if you're wanting to create space to breathe right now because everything feels like it's caving in, lay down and listen to the audio book Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey

she is also the narrator, and oh how wonderful! her voice is powerful, meditative, and soothing at once
Cover of the audio book, Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey, Founder of the Nap Ministry. Gold text shimmers against a rich, darkly jewel-toned gradient background.

survive, kitten ❤️‍🔥

[ #femme #femmeart #artsky #collage #queerart #sapphicart #sapphic ]
Top half of the collage. Far left says “Now you don’t have to AGE: nonsurgical ways to take off years.” Next to a bottle of solvent. A man whose face is covered with the word “tiresome” spews thoughts like “you are a product,” “lazy,” “bipolar,” “parasite,” “highly emotional,” and “slim down” while staring in the direction of a pregnant woman who is white, blonde, blue-eyed, and dressed all in white. She stands above a weight loss ad for “miracle cactus” and the words “cleanse and purify.” The word “rot” is next to her, and a rooster above her crows “get over it.” Bottom half of a collage. The most prominent image is a kitten riding a valentine wagon covered in hearts with the word “Survive” pasted on the front. Other elements include a candy iPod near the phrase “Stay connected, princess”, a cake made to look like a treasure box full of candy behind the words Animals that do not receive enough of the things they need… get very sick and may even die.” A mouth eating faceless humans, and “stay sane, kitten.”

My grandmother graciously gifted me this treasure—this little cabinet was built and painted in the '50s by her father as a play kitchen for her and her sisters.

It was in a bit of disrepair, but it got a little bath and I fixed 'er up; now it holds pictures and art from my fam!

ooh, if Casimir inspires you, I'd be honored to see a sketch of him! ૮꒰ྀི∩' ᵕ '∩꒱ྀིა

he's a goofball/class clown Knowledge Cleric. he's a bit awkward and gets very excitable about his arcane research (currently working on his doctorate degree). most of his spellslots get used up on playing pranks. :'o)
A bust-up illustration of an elven man (D&D character) with medium brown skin dressed in a purple vest/tunic and a billowing purple shirt. He's casting a spell in one hand, and looks a little skeptical. His hair is very long, chestnut brown, and pulled into a messy bubble-braid. Purple moodboard for a D&D character (Casimir, 25, elf, he/him, Knowledge Cleric). Center: Nintendo DS Pictochat message reading ''Cool Kids Never Sleep". Other images clockwise from top left: old book spins, a sunlight forest clearing, an elf ear, an ornate library, a book of magic spells, dark eyes set on a freckled face, purple glass bottle, a hand casting magic. Illustration of a purple engraved leather spellbook with large googly eyes glued to it.

[ #cozy #cozyaesthetic #cats #catpics #cuteanimals #slowliving ]

A small, chubby cat with bright blue eyes, Siamese coloring, and a bobbed tail crouches on the sill of a wood porch. From an angle on the floor, two pairs of legs with dark work shoes are visible, belonging to two people working on a home DIY project that is out of view. In the foreground, a vibrant, textured rug and teak furniture legs dominate the frame.

looking through these photos is making me yearn to get back to dyeing fiber

this colorway is 'Frog Prince Pond' and it remains an S tier favorite for me!! (there is some very subtle speckling in there if you look close) 𓆏˚⊱🪷⊰˚

[ #HandDyedYarn #Knitsky #Knitting #FiberArt #QueerArt #SlowFashion ]
Skeins of yarn being dyed in a stainless steel pot. The yarn is underwater and squiggled about chaotically. It's a aqua and mint in color, with navy, yellow, and green speckles. One of the same skeins of hand dyed yarn, fully dried and swirled into a spiral. The colors are slightly paler and the aqua and mint form a kind of gradient.
