Second harvest of vitex (aka chaste) berries, drying in the sun
The first crop met a terrible fate, so fingers crossed.

Cover for THE TRIDENT AND THE PEARL -- upcoming romantasy book by Sarah K. L. Wilson.
Really proud of this one, especially of all the water caustics. And it's always a joy to work with Sarah!

This movie used to be UNAVOIDABLE on Halloween, now I just spent real time finding a subscription service that actually had it...

Craft, paint, code, carve, rebuild, whatever -- keep your hands busy and constructive! Pull your emotions, worries, and thoughts out of your mind and channel them into something new and tangible (of any quality)
My best advice to try to get a handle on shit right now?
Make something.
Don't care what. Don't care if it's good. Don't care if it's just a big ass house you made in Sims 4, just lose yourself in something for an hour or so.
It' s like flushing the brain toilet.

Bouncing between these 3 games is an extremely peaceful and enjoyable flavor of escapism.

Was trying to catch a good picture of this monarch when another swooped into view, diving at the feeding butterfly for territory-
I managed to catch this single unedited pic with my phone and bad reflexes, capturing both monarchs in the same shot and getting a decent look at the wings

I feel like we need to update our constellations because of sky glow.
New shapes visible in suburban skies, merge dimmer areas, modern simple names.

It's been kinda fun trying to where's-waldo myself in the various footage posted online.. here's the best picture I've found so far. Several folks asked for permission tho, eventually one should surface with my actual face.
Promise the feed will now go back to arts, crafts, nature, and blender.

There was a tense-ish moment with some police verbal warnings, but yes overall peaceful and hopeful.
No Kings 2.0 in Frisco, TX 10/18/25:
In protest of the Trump administration and in solidarity with democracy and the Constitution we came together peacefully united from all walks of life, races, age groups, religions, genders but with one nationality - American! Way to go Frisco!

Attended the No Kings protest today with hundreds of others in Frisco Texas today. There was overwhelming support from passing motorists.
I'm briefly visible in the background of the wfaa news coverage, but didn't take any selfies (of my own) today to share with y'all

Approximately half of the chaste (aka vitex) berries of my first harvest, drying in the sun.
They've already been washed, dried for several days, now peeled and left to dry for a few more days.
I'm still cleaning the other half, it's wildly fussy but calming too.

I picked up Manor Lords- finally. Having fun, hence most of my recent silence.
Also playing Medieval Dynasty again. MD is co-op, but I still haven't found a partner to play with....
