For anyone who followed womensart on Twitter - an important message from @Womansart1 P.L. Henderson: "Hi, the real womensart account is not on Bluesky. I suspect someone on there is not only appropriating the name but also stealing my research. Please let people know if possible, thank you"

It’s been hard to celebrate Christmas these last few years after losing my Mom. I read this & am sharing it for the rest of you who may be struggling with loss of a loved one this holiday season. 🩵

Totally agree!

🌿☕In Greek legend lovers Daphnis & Chloe only met when honeysuckle bloomed. So Daphnis asked Eros to extend it's growing season🌿 Victorian girls were banned from bringing honeysuckle into the house as it was thought the strong smell made them have suggestive dreams! Moths don't have this problem 🦋

Don't forget to think of the birds and other wildlife in this cold wintry weather. Blackbirds, and other birds in the thrush family (like this gorgeous Fieldfare) go mad for apples! And all wild life needs water... #birds #wildlife #nature #winter #snow 🪶🌿

Love those shadows! 😍
