The commission prize for K'Andra, who won the @blackinastro.bsky.social art contest! I had so much fun painting this transformation of a solar eclipse 🤩

Bowl featuring a solar eclipse with clouds on each side. The left is lighter and brighter while the right is darker and bluer. A streak of light shines on the left of the eclipse.

Rainy Bubble Tea ☔️🦡🧋 #art

A digital illustration of a badger behind a bubble tea stand. He’s hold a bubble tea to give to a customer. There are four customers in front of him: a squirrel holding an umbrella, two bunnies in raincoats and one mouse holding a blue umbrella. We can see a fox enjoying a sip of bubble tea on the left side while her hedgehog friend is also enjoying the bubble tea. The illustration is set under a cozy rainy day.

“Dark Blue” is finished. Coloured pencil on cotton paper. With thanks to the juvenile great blue heron who tolerated me and my camera last spring :)

"No one knows"
You can read the warrant. There were long-standing efforts by the national archives to get Trump to give back specific documents he took. He refused. So they went to a judge and got a warrant.

Larry Kudlow, interviewing Kash Patel, pretends like it's a big mystery why the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago (it's because Trump was keeping classified documents in the shitter)

Snowy owls visit here in winter and they feel like living spells, silent and huge. Quick sketch with Pentel mechanical pencils and blending for soft shadows. Males can hoot loud enough to be heard seven miles away, a ghost voice on the tundra. #sciart #birds

A pencil sketch of a snowy owl in flight, wings outstretched low over the ground, heading toward a small mouse. Soft shading captures the delicate feathers and motion.

GLOW UP (dino edition): made this 4' tall fluorescent baby brachiosaurus last year for Burien, WA's annual Arts-A-Glow festival. Paint job insp by alebrijes. Wasn't satisfied so I resculpted the head, redid the paint job, and gave her some fake ferns to munch. #paleoart #sciart #dinosaur #sculpture

Despite all the handwringing about “intellectual diversity” the reality is that higher ed exposes young people to a vastly different array of people and experiences than almost anything else you can do.

going to college, living in an international dorm and meeting brown kids from africa, dark-skinned kids with african features from india, spanish-speaking chinese kids from argentina, and many others changed the way i understood the world in some pretty fundamental ways

A coloured illustration of Luceran and Aadharys standing with their backs to each other. Luceran is on the left, and, looking ahead, his side has a more golden glow to it, with a golden halo near his head. Aadharys is on the right, but his gaze is towards Luceran. His side is darker with a red glow to it, and he has a simple red circle behind his head.

Not only is it exhausting to be a caregiver many people are still required to work full time jobs.

The only way you can get paid as a caregiver is if the person you’re caring for is eligible for Medicaid.

That’s it.

Don't just tell the staff, although that's important. Write a note to the branch manager, system director, and maybe even the collections dept. Post about it on their Facebook page. Talk about it at library board meetings.

Martha Hickson @sassylibrarian.bsky.social · Jul 6

Yes, telling librarians you appreciate their inclusive collections is a good thing. Even better is putting that appreciation in writing to administrators and boards so that the librarian has a record of your remarks and contact info in case support is needed in the future.

THE FOREST SPIRIT AND THE PARASITE - Digital painting showing the frightened face of the forest spirit, half-submerged by various kinds of plants and flowers. His hands, like roots, wind their way inside a pond, over which, however, faces the menacing silhouette in a human being pointing a finger at him. From his feet, red veins branch out dangerously, as if it were poison seeping into the ground.
