It’s 11 PM in the mountains. The valley is calm, the night was quiet, and then someone in the corridor turns on loud Punjabi DJ music like silence personally offended them. I genuinely don’t understand why people come all the way here just to bring their city noise along.

🧶 Took five months to do the four rows!! When one row has close to 1k stitches, cant complain. 🤭 Now, I can start with the edge charts. This needs a lot of focus and hence makes me more sick after the knitting session. It is the kind of sick I am choosing once in a while for my happiness #knitsky

I read 50 books last year and somehow convinced myself each one was essential. The math doesn’t math, but here we are.

The Librarian of Auschwitz adapts Antonio Iturbe’s novel into a graphic form, following a young girl who protects forbidden books in a camp. The restrained art and quiet storytelling focus on small acts of courage, showing how stories become lifelines in dark times. 💙📚 #BookSky #Lastbookoftheyear
Illustrated cover of The Librarian of Auschwitz showing a young girl peeking from behind a wooden post, holding a stack of books close to her chest. Barbed wire fences and a bleak camp landscape stretch behind her, contrasting her quiet determination with the oppressive setting.

Sweet Tooth Vol. 1: Out of the Deep Woods starts slow and kind of gentle, then quietly breaks your heart. It’s weird, sad, and oddly sweet. You ease into this broken world without realizing how attached you’ve already become. 💙📚 #BookSky #GraphicNovels
Illustrated cover of Sweet Tooth (Compendium) showing a young boy with deer antlers and large ears, wearing a red plaid shirt and suspenders, holding a bitten chocolate bar. Vines and leaves frame his face against a deep red background, giving the image an eerie, fairy-tale tone.

Lost Dogs by Jeff Lemire is a tough, quiet read. It feels like a dark fable where things go wrong fast and never really recover. Very little dialogue, lots of heavy silence, and an ending that just sits with you in an uncomfortable way. 💙📚 #BookSky #GraphicNovels
Minimalist black cover of Lost Dogs with the title in white and red at the top, and a small, stark illustration near the bottom of a man sinking into darkness, his body partially visible and marked with red and white suggesting he is a sailor.

Ex Machina Book One feels less like a superhero story and more like a political drama with a cape on standby. Smart, grounded, and a bit cynical, it pulls you in by asking what happens after the hero decides to run a city instead. 💙📚 #BookSky #GraphicNovels
Illustrated cover of Ex Machina (The Deluxe Edition) showing a suited man with a tense expression looming in the background, while a masked, armored superhero in green and yellow stands in the foreground holding a futuristic gun, set against stylized mechanical gears and a bold green color palette.

Soft light wakes the hills,
Mountains rise in quiet blue
Morning finds its breath.

A pastel sunrise sky stretches over layered blue mountain ridges, with a dark hilltop in the foreground silhouetted against the horizon, dotted with buildings and communication towers.

“AI prompt giving artists” are complaining about others stealing their prompts, and then adding that the one stealing is getting more eyeballs, is kinda beautiful

Can you imagine hours and hours of time going into refining the prompts, the research to find the right word for the prompt, stolen?!

You get killed now and then, violated in various ways. (And sometimes it's turn about.)
You get tired of that. Long-suffering, you wait
and pray, and maybe good things come - maybe
the hurt slackens and you hardly feel it any more.
You have a breath without pain. It is called happiness.
#Poetry 💙📚👀
THE GIFT Time wants to show you a different country. It's the one that your life conceals, the one waiting outside when curtains are drawn, the one Grandmother hinted at in her crochet design, the one almost found over at the edge of the music, after the sermon. It's the way life is, and you have it, a few years given. You get killed now and then, violated in various ways. (And sometimes it's turn about.) You get tired of that. Long-suffering, you wait and pray, and maybe good things come - maybe the hurt slackens and you hardly feel it any more. You have a breath without pain. It is called happiness. It's a balance, the taking and passing along, the composting of where you've been and how people and weather treated you. It's a country where you already are, bringing where you have been. Time offers this gift in its millions of ways, turning the world, moving the air, calling, every morning, "Here, take it, it's yours." William Stafford Reference: The Way It Is: New and Selected Poems, Graywolf Press, 1999.

I mistook a gossip relay for a confidant. Thought I was venting, turns out I was filing a family-wide press release. Love that for me.

I can share my Dracula art any day of the year, right?

Mina Harker, acrylics on linen canvas
A portrait painting showing Mina Harker, a character from Bram Stoker's Dracula. She's a woman with dark brown hair and pale skin, lit dramatically by red light from the right, as she faces down the viewer. Her forehead is marked with a scar-like burn; inflicted by the vampire. The background is a night sky with falling letters, some hinting at quotes from the book. Painted in acrylics on linen canvas for a slight texture.
