Close-up profile of pelican with bright blue eye. It’s breeding horn is evident on its bill. The background is frothy water.
Putting in my bet on this year’s American White Pelican arrival in Saskatoon (it’s an annual event - there are prizes!) has me thinking about how much I’m looking forward to seeing those gigantic prehistoric weirdos again. Can’t wait #birds

Large impressionist painting of a swirling orange yellow and red nebula at the bottom and upper right , some white clouds above it on a blue black background with about 25cm of tiny little bastard stars at the top
Been well over a month since I've been able to work on this due to some RSI issues with my painting hand.
About 3 hours (painting fucking stars 😐)
A large, black, red-crested woodpecker is viewed from behind as it clings to a white-barked tree.
I love this view – this woodpecker reminds me of Dracula. #birds

Lia’s fingers show a wooden embroidery hoop with black linen with a rectangle of dissolvable material on which is printed the Milky Way in black and white with some red and blue markings. Some tiny single strand seed stitch and French knots in white, peach, oranges, aubergine, and dark browns and grays have been stitched. The tiny needle holds white thread. Below the Milky Way is black on black whipped backstitch that looks a bit like flames, it’s pubic hair. An hourglass-shaped needle minder that reads “this is taking forever” is attached to the cloth.
#WIPWednesday • This past week I worked on my mitosis #embroidery sampler pattern in between migraines that made these tiny stitches impossible. But I did get about an inch of white done. #SciArt
im doing a crazy thing and starting a tiny press that wants your poetry, maybe a follow, maybe a repost, definitely your submission

We are very concerned about Premier Smith's draft legislation to introduce dual practice care into Alberta. This would lead to significant consequences to our health care system and to patients' ability to access care.

A gothic castle in the transylvanian mountains. A great bear of a man, waring a stovepipe hat and carrying a cane: "Now that you are my bride, you will never leave this castle!" His new bride replies "Wow! Your library is amazing!" He continues "Beyond the castle is a high wall with no gate, and beyond that is a deep. Dark forest with no path." She pulls a volume from a great bookcase, "I suppose it's my library too, now we're married." He goes on "The forest is crawling with ravenous wolves, malignant birds and the spirits of long-dead travellers." Ignoring him, carrying a pile of hardbacks "So many books! I can't believe My luck!" He has sprouted wings, claws and cloven hoofs. "When the sun sets, I transform into a wild beast and soar into the night, seized by a terrible bloodlust!" She sits, examining her books as he flies out the window "Ok. I'll stay here and read. See you in the morning"

anyway as someone grappling with very fresh grief over the loss of a parent, can I just say read more poetry, folks. For millennia, we've been feeling pain and grief, and translating it into art and poetry, and its all there, waiting for us.
There can be a kind of healing and comfort in that.
🙏
