I'm curious about boxes lately, how the shape of the box cut out becomes the box itself with folding. I've been flattening boxes from food items for recycling, trace it onto watercolour paper and then fold it back up into a box again. And just paint on it. I like the small boxes especially.

Ok, so I finished the "Throne of Glass" series with "Kingdom of Ash" and wow..what a good story ending and I enjoyed just reading for the storytelling and images that were created in my mind. I still love Manon and The 13. Now I've started on "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series by Sarah J. Maas.

ok finished Sarah J. Maas "Empire of Storms" and I feel like the whole family got together to finally start consummating plans to build up for the big take down the big bads. Do I need to slow down? Only 2 more books to go in the series. whew.

I finished another Sarah J. Maas book, "Queen of Shadow". whew..sometimes, it's hard to put down as it all came together. :). And I wondered if there's been thoughts of making a series to watch as well? I guess I'll have to investigate. :) cheers!

I finished another Sarah J. Maas book, "Heir of Fire", and it's getting exciting to know what happens next! Seeing the protagonist coming into her own power is exciting storytelling. I wonder if I should read "Assassin's Blade" next? According to Ms. SJM, that's recommended. 🔥

I've been reading the Sarah j. maas series Throne of Glass and at a sad part in Crown of Midnight that I was not expecting or liking. 😭🥹😢. RIP Princess of Courage and Honour.

Why do I feel so strongly about addressing accessibility in digital products? Because every day, we rely more on digital tools just to participate in daily life— with working, connecting, and using services. Solving these challenges now, is future-proofing our own lives.

@schiff.senate.gov - part of Elon Musk's approach to business is to do alot of things fast and hard, requiring adaptability from business entities. What are you & Dems doing to deal with this his approach of using gov as a public business? Run, don't walk to deal with him.

Perhaps we should do what Germany did and make the "Hitlergruss" total verboten. But hey, social media is all about the attention regime. *looking for her painter's tape*

132 Years ago, this happened to the Hawaiian Kingdom. Always good to remember this coup d'etat because it affected me in ways I did not understand enough to describe. #kiakaha www.instagram.com/p/DE7vqOcvUA...

I've been sketching out some ideas for the Lunar Calendar year of the Serpent, sometimes I like to draw the little bits before I bring it together. Anyone else does this?
