Weird (the good kind!) reclusive old lady who dabbles in art, cooking, and mocking Nazis. Fond of birds and gardens. Proud of my state of Minnesota. She/her. Re-enchantment is resistance.
I think this may be my favorite work by Jakub Kozalski. Peasants know who the real monsters are.
Thanks for all the good wishes! The blockage cleared with the aid of a contrast solution used to get an x-ray image, which the doctor said might happen. Still haven’t heard from the doctor, but at least the damned tube is out of my nose.
Amberglas@amberglas.bsky.social · last wk.This weekend was a bust. In the hospital with a bowel obstruction and all the joys attendant thereto.
Important details 🕯️ She passed away 2 days after I started painting the panels, so wanted the memory of her to be a permanent part of it.
Rune Hrafnagaldur@lunegrimm.bsky.social · last wk.Finally I took some pics of our latest crafting project! My partner @vyrosk.bsky.social & I build ourselves a chest from scratch & I decided to paint something into the arches. It was challening to work on, but I also enjoyed wood working & painting traditionally for once. #medieval #art

Today I’m sharing a few lovely Siamese cat line drawings. These little ones, with their signature dark points, elegant presence, and talkative charm, do you like them too? #shouxinsketch #petart #animalart #illustrationartists #pet #sketch #sketchdaily
This is an obscenity.

Ugh, back home in the grip of the season described as Hell’s Front Porch. Had to flee the North Shore this morning when smoke from the distant fires in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area turned the air to murk, with fine bits of ash falling.
Beauty from the north shore of Lake Superior at Iona’s Beach Scientific and Natural Area. The beach is composed of smooth pink rhyolite pebbles and is known as a singing beach. When the waves are just right, a musical tinkling sound can be heard as water trickles through the stones.

I was bummed because the house in the neighborhood that always puts on a great Halloween display had a serious fire that took out their garage. Hubby walked by it this evening and I don’t think the fire is going to slow them down this year. #EarlyHalloween #GiantSkeleton
Today I’m sharing a few cat works that have been especially popular. Each one shows a different movement and personality, brought to life through simple lines. Some of these works are planned to become art prints and will be released in 3 days. Shop link in bio😊. #shouxinsketch #animalart
Long ago, dragons rose up against the gods. After a long war, the dragons were defeated. As punishment, the dragons were split, literally, and spread across the world. Their diminished selves seek their lost parts. Once the right nine lives of cats meet, they'll reform a dragon. #CrossRepost
When the selkie returned to the beach, a man was holding her sealskin. "Is this yours?" he asked. "May I borrow it?" "You want to be a seal?" "No, but when I take it off, I'll be a woman, right?" "My heart, you already are," the selkie said. "That skin is mine, but I can help you find yours."
Woohoo! Spotted a lifer black-backed woodpecker today at Lake George. Had to look it up when I got home as it (and its call) was new to me. #birds

When you see the story about how the world has its first trillionaire and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story * 327: librarianshipwreck.wordpress.com/2026/06/19/p...
Plague Poems – The Three-Hundred-and-Twenty-Seventh Week
You cannot know for certain (even at this point) which of the four horsemen will dominate the headlines this week. But you can be quite certain (even at this point) that most of those horsemen will…

At the eve of the summer solstice, I pick seven different flowers, in seven different fields, all in complete silence. I tie them into a bouquet and put it under my pillow. Doing so means that tonight, I will dream of my true love. I already live with her, but I like dreaming of her too.
