Minnesota, my home, is carrying a heavy burden right now.

Being kind is not being weak. The strength to care for others, to love and protect our neighbors, to be a shield and not a sword, to be warmth in the cold is true Minnesota nice.

Just a little scrabbledy sketch to keep spirits up.

I also learned today that a group of chickadees is called a ‘banditry’ and how cute is that?

Hey! This is important to know! Back before I managed to convince my husband of this, he melted the plug on one to an extension cable socket!!

Don’t do it!

Every day I fight the sacrilegious urge to paint my mom's cat like a Byzantine icon
A brown tabby cat, kind of dumpy looking, facing the viewer and peering towards the ceiling Religious figures painted in such a way that conveys their importance. Golden halos surround their heads, and they are adorned in fine clothing.

I'm having work done in my office, and since the wall is torn open, I decided to leave a surprise bonus for the next adventurer. 🍗
A wall under construction. There is a drywall panel up on the upper part of the wall and no lower panel, showing studs and the backside of another room's drywall. Tools, ladders, and a drop cloth are in the carpeted floor. On the backside of drywall, between two studs, a roast chicken is drawn with the inscription: +80 HP. This is in reference to Castlevania and the mysterious meat you can find by breaking a wall.

My talented barista drew me a friend on my latte after seeing my hat!
When the opportunity arises, it's wonderful to spend 20 seconds to make someone feel special and seen 🥹❤️

Kim Wexler, uhh I mean Carol Sturka, oops I mean RHEA SEEHORN won a golden globe for PLUR1BUS!!!!
Watch Plur1bus and Better Call Saul for this woman alone 👏👏👏
A caricature drawing of Carol Sturka from Plur1bus looking up and watching fireworks in her comfortable office chair. A sign in the foreground reads "CONGRATS, CAROL!" as she looks on with a vacant expression. I drew this on grey paper with white colored pencil and an ebony pencil. The likeness is loose but the heart is in the right place.

The wren is the king of birds, small but with a very loud song.

Checking the borbometer to see how cold it is before going outside😂

Photo of a Mourning Dove sitting on the edge of a feeder facing the camera. It is going full borb mode. It is round with the feathers fluffed out and head tucked down. It is sitting low over its feet. This borb says it is chilly out!

First bird I saw 2026:
CAROLINA WREN!!! 📣

Wrens are sassy, they are LOUD, they are defiant. They're the biggest personality, stuffed into the tiniest bird form (tennis ball sized).

Let's get wrenning 💪😤

Me listening to an audio book where the author spends 10+ minutes at the top bragging about how good the book is that you're about to hear (specifically saying that k4nye west was on j0e r0gan telling him how this book changed his life)

Quickest I've ever returned a book!

Lovely bit of trompe loeil on the bird buddy~
The platform of the feeder lined up perfectly with the cardinal's head, giving him the illusion of a big, cartoonish beak!
#birds
A photo taken from a bird feeder camera. A male northern cardinal is facing away from the camera, but is lined up with the platform of the feeder in a strange way, making the platform resemble a huge red beak. The shadow is just perfect in defining the beak shape, and the color is so close to a cardinal's beak.

It's time to accept that putting chalk in milk is here to stay. We have to add chalk, or we'll fall behind. It is unrealistic to expect all milk to be pasteurized when other companies are using chalk. This is a milk business

"Forest Attendant" Black-Capped Chickadee 5"x7" Oil on panel

Chickadees are wonderful in so many ways. They're often the first birds to investigate a new situation, and other birds watch & follow them to find food sources. The friendly local 'dees often bring other birds to my yard, to my delight.
A small oil painting of a black-capped chickadee, perched on an arching twiggy branch. The chickadee is facing us and gazing downward, its eyes turned to look at something close by, while the rest of its body is turned sideways.
