Pride Month unfolds, a time to honor the resilience and joy of queer love. My painting shows two Nahua women in El Salvador, making pupusas—a tribute to everyday love. El Salvador holds a special place in my heart. May this month celebrate love in all its forms. #PrideMonth #QueerLove #Nahua

#OnThisDay 100 years ago, 29 May 1925, #PercyFawcett disappeared in the Amazon jungle, searching for an alleged "Lost City of Z". He never returned - but somehow ended up in every adventure story ever since.

Just as I ask for a Plague Doctor commission I end up finding a really good article about the beak doctor by Professor Marion Maria Ruisinger that answers a lot of my questions regarding the romanticized imagery and lack of primary accounts of the uniform being used during epidemics.

I haven't been paying attention to the bluesky vs twitter discussion. I'm only aware of it's presence. If anyone wants to know my thoughts about it, let's just say one place is far worse than the other. Bluesky ain't perfect but I see a lot less bigotry and toxicity here. I hope it gets better.
