'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Every cat owner has random trash in their house they can't throw away yet because a cat claimed ownership of it, and knows for certain that the more expensive the cat toy the more the cat will be interested in the box it came in.

Someone once told me that it's "classist" to advocate for people to have indoor cats because you need to buy them lots of expensive toys. Marcel has been playing with the discarded stem of a fresh green bean for 20 minutes. 🤷‍♀️

KS constantly uplifts others in need while existing in an unsafe home herself. Literally losing sleep due to necessary hyper-vigilance. She’s so close to her fundraising goal. Close to feeling safe again. Being able to sleep again. It’s within reach. Any help is appreciated. #MutualAid

Hey friends. No movement at all today. I can't overstate the importance of moving from this unsafe home. For my safety and future, please help. Chuffed.org/project/blessks #mutualaid #helpsky #fundsky #helpBlackMaGes

Ugh. Back in 'my face bones are burning' sinus infection territory again. Fingers crossed the antibiotics do their thing with no secondary infections or ruptured ear-drums. Would I sell my soul for a functional immune system? Maybe.

Being able to live stream nature and events from around the world is something I never would have dreamed we’d be able to do when I was a kid. Bears catching salmon in Alaska, volcanic eruptions, backyard cameras showing wildlife on different continents. As someone isolated in my home? It’s magic.

Kilauea night-time fountaining! The glowing night episodes are my favorite. If you want to wind down while watching some lava, this episode (52) officially just started so it's gonna be going for a while. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvjf...
