Happy Halloween, time for a Samhain surprise! (Unless you're on my mailing list... In which case you already know.)

2 new paint sets that I've been surreptitiously working away on just landed in my store at lycomorpha.etsy.com

Bonfire season (Samhain-midwinter) 🔥 & Into the trees (woodland theme)🌲
An 8 colour half pan handmade watercolour set. There's a swatch card showing a strip of each colour, and an open pan of each resting on the swatch. There's also a swatched square tin to one side. The colours are granulating and semi opaque mixed pigment colours; red, peach, orange, grey, green, blue, violet and bluish black. An 8 colour half pan handmade watercolour set.

I was asked whether I was going to paint any shiny reflections to Mr blue swimmer crab.

You bet.

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP.

If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them.

Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

Unclench your jaw.

Relax your brow.

Go get a drink of water.

See if you've taken your meds

Eat something.

Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing.

Because you do.

You're a wonderful person.

And have this. 🫂🖤 you did great today. You made it through

If you listen to it enough you definitely hear the same songs. Luckily I find them so interesting that I don't mind so much.
One other thing I do like is that RP allows you to download a two hour block of music so that you can play it later if you don't have streaming capabilities.

I'm a huge fan of streaming the spectacular ad-free, free-free, listener-supported Radio Paradise app (the lovechild of KPIG radio)
It freaking rocks! Their Global Mix channel is a thing of beauty.

despite Home Depot consistently profiting off of the materials needs of laborers (un-/documented,) we must remember that Home Depot is one of the top 25 contributors to the group of Senators who flipped the US Supreme Court conservative. 62% of their donations are distributed to the GOP.

how many times do they have to disregard laws and constitution for Democrats to understand that they are not playing by the rules?!?!

🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

when I was an illustrator, the legal release for publication contained the line "we reserve the right to publish these works in any media, even those NOT YET INVENTED."

uhh, no thank you! luckily it was legal on my end to take a black sharpie to that line and reject it.

Believe what they DO and
Believe what they SHOW you.
Do not believe what they SAY, as they will say anything to control their narrative!

If they don't before the weather turns, there is a neat trick where you can just pull out the entire plant, roots and all, shake off the dirt and hang the whole plant upside down in a garage or shed, out of direct sunlight. The leaves will dry up but the fruits will continue to ripen over time!

Like an alien-looking shower head, the Cone Tooth Fungus, Auriscalpium vulgare, is a favorite mushroom of mine

This is a photo of an unusual brown, toothy mushroom. The camera angle is looking up at the underside of the cap from below. Its stipe is fuzzy, or even spiky, and brown. The underside of the cap is made up of 100 or so tiny white, slightly rounded teeth. The edge of the cap is covered in the same tiny brown spiky fuzz.
