Happy pub day to Dreamslinger!! My Korean magic school book where the Asleep is a real place, and where you can grow a dreampanion from a seed. I can’t WAIT to share this with you all 🐅🐉🐦‍🔥🐢 How beautiful are both the US and the UK/Aus/NZ covers. Do you have a fav??

Sunset is my favourite time of day. Took this a few days ago; made me wish I had my actual camera instead of an old cellphone! Also, I saw a lot of dogs being walked, so all in all it was a very good evening. #aotearoa #newzealand #auckland

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business. Nature is us.

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and I just want to say this: You don’t have to change to be worthy of love. You don’t have to mask, shrink, or shape-shift for anyone. Your authentic self is something to celebrate. Not just for April, but always. #autismacceptance #austismawareness

Here’s my stoned furbaby with his catnip ball from Kat’s Garden:

April Fool’s jokes are all well and good, but have you considered that you could make an artist or small creative business owner’s day by being their first customer of the new financial year? Artists/creatives: feel free to drop a link below if you haven’t had your first sale for the new FY yet!
