'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

Holy shit! This is what I'm talkin' about. David Clayton is running for congress in North Carolina's District 5 against MAGA Republican Virginia Foxx — and this is how he introduced himself. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

It's been 70 years since griffon vultures disappeared from the skies over Romania. They're coming back, starting with relocated birds from Spain.

Vulture releases are some of the most important rewilding projects out there. More please.

I'm seeing a lot of crochet patterns "written" by AI, as well. I promise, these will not be successful for you.

Thanatotheristes is a late Cretaceous tyrannosaur whose name means 'Reaper of death.' I couldn't help this image of it in Grim Reaper guise popping into my head.

I never want to look back to the past as “better times”. I believe in social and economic progress. That belief is really strong, but being tested beyond my strength.

A small wonder today was recognizing how filthy cities were in the 60s and 70s. In that regard we’re doing better.

It’s not silly

Sincere congrats to Admiral Kirk and the crew of the stolen Bird of Prey etc
Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

I feel like a government shutdown should trigger an automatic snap election for every federal elected office where no incumbent is allowed to run.

MY TURN!

I think every author under the sun performs this ritual. If you get my novel TRAIL OF SHADOWS, please consider leaving a review the site of your choice—

And, if you’re on @netgalley.bsky.social, please give my book a look! TRAIL OF SHADOWS could use a boost there 😅

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…
