An interesting Crochet Along (CAL) for the new year. This one uses the Tunisian mosaic crochet technique. I find it to be a great way to play with colorwork, and you only need to learn 3 stitches. #crochetsky #crochet #crochetalong #tunisiancrochet #fiberarts www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTFi...

“Color” is today’s challenge for #Januarty. This painting was the 1st horse thing I did a yr ago while in my beginning painting class struggling with the usual assignments (still life, landscapes, portraits etc). I now use more muted colors so I don’t have a lot of colorful art. 18x24 Oil on canvas

Please remember that President Carter appointed more minorities and women to the bench than all previous presidents combined. He was the first President to embrace the concept of bringing racial diversity to the federal bench. A key aspect of his legacy. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/poli...

I just watched this great video essay on Diddy today, created by . It really is worth the watch. It goes into depth about the climate in the entertainment industry that facilitates creating and protecting predators like Diddy. #blacksky #metoo #music #blackmusic #rap www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy3m...

Part of living with my disabilities is making the best of things. I'm pretty chair bound right now. I stay productive with different types of crafts. These are my most recent crochet projects. The octopus seems to be my hottest pattern right now. #crochet #amigurumi #crafts 🧶 #disabilities #Sarcoid

I want to say that I'm shocked that establishment Dems made the most moronic decision in all timelines by not picking AOC over the sick 74 year old. However, this is exactly what I expected. My frustration levels just keep rising. #politics #AOC

Treated myself to a Johnny Nodes Patreon sub for Christmas, and hoo boy, this 7-hour Catacomb Wall texture follow-along has made my brain grow three sizes this week. Finally able to predict the next workflow move with an ~85% accuracy, which honestly? I'll take it.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

Here's an excerpt from my forthcoming novel DEATH OF THE AUTHOR here (January 2025). This chapter flashes its scifi side, but please understand this book...stretches. When you start the novel (this excerpt is chapter 3, not 1), you'll see what I'm talking about, 😁. reactormag.com/excerpts-dea...
