today at the park we saw wild turkeys and some dude behind us was like “bro look at those owls” so what I’m saying is don’t ever let anyone make you feel stupid. you can visually identify a turkey

Finally finished this painting! I love how it turned out. I typically have my paintings set in the night time with a starry sky backdrop, so this was a little different for me 😄 experimenting feels so good when the end result turns out 💕

I needed this reminder right now. Times are scary, but obsessing over it, won’t change it. Making the best of the here and now is all I can do.

Does anyone else who lives in a climate with cold dark winters feel like their creative juices really start to flow once the snow finally melts and the sun comes out? #sunshine #creativity #art #winter

Last update on the mandala. I decided to colour it in using sparkly gel pens and I love it so much 😄 there’s nothing quite like the confidence boost you get from completing something new 💕 #mandalas #traditionalart #art #confidence

Finished my first mandala 😍 it didn’t turn out perfect, but I am pretty proud of my first attempt and can’t wait to create some more.

Remember: Musk is a coward at heart. A weak man, not a strong one. A fragile ego just like the guy he shares an office with.

Have a wonderful day/evening #bluesky. It’s goodnight from me.
Here’s our home galaxy over Craig Goch dam in the stunning Elan Valley, Mid Wales, UK.
The lights under the bridge are from a car’s headlights on the other side of the lake/reservoir.

Today the sun was out and it was warm and suddenly I remembered, “oh yeah, I’m alive.”

I decided to try my hand at drawing mandalas today! This was such a therapeutic activity. I felt relaxed and like my head totally cleared while I worked away

A reminder for these times.
Self-care isn’t just face masks and bubble baths (although, sometimes it is those things too). Self-care is taking care of ourselves mentally, spiritually and physically. Eating, sleeping, learning, socializing and doing things we love are all self-care. Self-care is an intrinsic part of being 💖

Man, life is hard and the world is unfair, but I will forever find it amazing how much love and beauty you can find despite all that.

hot take: I'd continue what they're doing
let different directors and producers do completely different takes and approaches to this universe across all sorts of different genres. We have westerns, mob drama, kids on bikes, anime, preschool shows alongside adult narratives on encroaching fascism

Genuine question - if you were the new head of LucasFilm, what would you do to revitalise the Star Wars franchise?

I almost bought a book on Amazon today, but then I went to eBay and got it slightly used for half the price. Boycotting Amazon is fun AND easy.
