Surrealistic illustration done in ink, partially colored with colored pencils. The layers show the cycle of the moon, a polished tree trunk, a crumbling labyrinth seen from above, a person navigating a fantastic forest.

Surrealistic illustration done in black ink, partially colored with color pencils. The layers show narrow steps leading up, an attic with stacked suitcases and boxes, a person working with memories and a candle.

Surrealistic illustration done in ink, partially colored in color pencil.The information coming together to create the moment are nesting herons, a crab boat, a barn, an alchemy lab and a creature out to catch her prey.

Surrealistic illustration done in ink, partly colored with colored pencils. The overlapping images show a saltmarsh, a forest, a treehouse, an old fashioned pointing hand, and a guiding spirit.

I'm sorry but #Duolingo'simrprovement is anything but. I make no mistakes but constantly loose energy forcing me to either invest or stop. Grr.

My grandma looked for towels to take to the hospital for my grandpa. With one of them she found this receipt still. The towel once cost 10.25 East German Marks.

Surrealistic illustration done in black ink, partially colored with pencils. Images that overlap are a clearing in the woods where the moon reflects in a pond, a girl playing with ravens, flames licking, and a woman rapped in a closk searching the night with a lantern.

Raising a pup means to realize that you can live with far fewer stuff as the pup can steadily reach things in higher and higher places that it them shreds into elementary pieces. #puppy

Surrealistic illustration done in black ink and partially colored with colored pencils. You step into the woods as a full moon is illuminating the scene. A feeling of fear has you in its grip until you shake it to fulfil your full potential. Ghosts become sources of information. You can change your perspective.

The lack of algorithm on Bluesky tells me that we were fools to accept it elsewhere. We all now talk about how Musk uses it to suppress dissent on twitter, but he hardly invented it. Letting someone else set parameters for what you see is maybe the most poisonous thing that social media normalised.

The title of @debharkness.bsky.social's Time's Convert goes back to T. Paine's quote: Time makes more converts than reason.
And Assembly Theory (@saraimari.bsky.social) now gives the scientific explanation. Objects, ideas their necessary precursor, have a physical extent in space as well as time.

Wie die Wände eines jeden Behältnisses dienen Grenzen hauptsächlich dazu, den Inhalt zu kontrollieren und die Bedingungen im Inneren zu diktieren.

‪Es ist 2025 & Schwarzrot sorgt mit Kontrollen an den deutschen Außengrenzen für Staus und empörte Nachbarn? Zum 40. Jahrestag des Schengener Abkommens ein völlig falsches Signal. Warum? Ein Call mit @herremmerich.bsky.social & @chantalkopf.bsky.social‬ direkt an der Grenze zu Frankreich.

Time for a new installation of The Philosophy of the All Souls Series by @debharkness.bsky.social that draws from the artwork and the part of ch 11 of The Black Bird Oracle it is based on. Matthew & Diana argue after putting the children to bed. At the center of their disput is Higher Magic. 🧵

Surrealistic illustration done in black ink, partially colored with pencils. Elements of the image that overlap are a crossroads in the woods, an old screendoor, a fist breaking through a wall, and owls in rocky landscape.
