Does anyone have good resources on RAW photo editing? I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. I can't tell if I made it better or worse, or why and how I did so. #photography #macro #insects #butterfly

I truly wish at least one world leader would realize that the world is not a zero-sum competitive game. Please, please figure out that some things are cooperative.

I started working on this a few months ago and set it aside for a while before finishing it today. This is the first piece where I had an exact idea of what I wanted in my head and spent a lot of time planning and testing to create just what I imagined. #watercolor #charcoal #mixedmedia

Can someone tell my dog that I would appreciate it if she would hang out on the bed so I could pet her without moving? She is too far away.

Trying to get in the habit of doing more teeny drawings for the sake of doing more teeny drawings. They don't have to be good, or finished, or anything really. Just drawings. #pencil #sketches #quickpractice

@drsketchybaltimore.bsky.social is truly my favorite event in the entire DMV. I usually don't post my drawings because I'm completely lacking in talent or skills, but I don't want the host to be sad. Any lack of resemblance to The Juggling Kat is my own fault.

AI models in hospitals miss 66% of patient injuries, failing to detect worsening health. A study urges integrating medical expertise, as 65% of US hospitals rely on these systems for patient care. 🩺💻

This week's watercolor insect was an oak treehopper. I definitely learned a lot working on this one. And I think he's cute. #watercolor #art #insects

In math class I always had to read the questions and talk through my approach out loud to myself. My teacher made me sit in the hall for exams because I "gave away the answers".
Now I wouldn't call this a problem. I'd say "I've always been an excellent team player".
(I still do this when I work.)

I have two art projects I'm working on right now that I'm obscenely excited about. One is a series of watercolor postcards of different orders of insects (like this long-legged fly). The other is a secret that I drew some ideas for yesterday and feel compelled to paint. #watercolor #insects #art

You know your dog is a long dog when, during designated morning cuddle and scritches time, you get licks from the head end and thwacks from the tail end at the same time.
Yes, there is designated cuddle and scritches time--everyone should start their day with this much oxytocin.
