The world is lookin’ bleak. So I’m sharing some tits and boobies as a mood booster. 🪶

Seeing this makes me want to pet a wolf. Yes, I know it’s a bad idea. But my brain looks at this and goes “big dog. Must pet.”

Gonna delete this in a second, but man, neurodivergent kid bingo is like: - “everyone has a diagnosis these day!” - “I’d have ADHD too if I grew up with screens” - “did you try anything else before you tried medication?” [no, Mary, I went straight to amphetamines] - “Pickiness is created by parents”

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

“Sleeping,” my handmade linocut art print. I was going to call this “Cat Stack,” but then changed my mind in the end. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ I have one available right now in my shop. More will be printed, but I’m not sure when. I have lots of printing to do 😅 www.maryanntestagrossaart.com #linocut #catart #cat

i keep thinking about this

Having a criminal record does not make you a bad person. Having a felony conviction does not make you a bad person. Some of the best people I've ever known have felony convictions on their records, and some of the worst people I've ever met moralized endlessly about crime.

Good morning BlueSky🦋!! I hope you'll enjoy some needlework in a garden. This painting is called Young Woman Sewing/Knitting In The Garden by Mary Cassatt. There seems to be debate about sewing v. knitting, it doesn't matter. It's fiber art. And it's wonderful. 🧶 #knit #knitsky #sew #sewing #art

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

Borough Market is a favourite spot in London, with its wonderful cast iron structure painted in a distinctive green. So, although I like this stage, it just wouldn’t be right without that green so once the orange ink is dry, out comes the viridian!#artiststudio #linocut #londonprint

I was talking to a friend re how triggering this moment is for me as someone who lived through authoritarianism. She asked what we did to resist & it's community solidarity. Showing up, asking after people, mutual aid. That's resistance. (We also revolted but that's another, more complex, story...)

writers artists 🤝 AHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHH

We talk a lot about perpetrators and victims in the context of the Trump administration. We need to spend a lot more time talking about enablers—who have a lot of crossover with both of those other roles and play a massive role in the advancement of authoritarianism.

PUSH BACK. It often works and even if it doesn't, at least you know you tried.

Today I’m enjoying the look of white stitches on blue, and the overlapped sections that seem more than the sum of their component motifs. #blackwork #embroidery on 14-count Aida. #WIPWednesday #CraftSky #StitchSky #ArtSky

"Hungry? Eat the Government" Seen in Budapest

just finished an estate planning with my husband and just fyi our lawyer says you don’t get a discount for simplifying things with a suicide pact.

He found visits to the countryside, and the cows in particular, helped calm him down. #grickledoodle #godzilla #country #cows #calm #mentalhealth #cartoon #art #drawing #funny #kaiju

Letterpressed, hand-tinted, hand-tied ribbon, folded, and packaged. That’s a lot of hand work. #printmaking #letterpress #hydrangea #ilovewhatido
