I live on land once home to the Choctaw. As someone of Irish descent, this connection lives and breathes inside my heart. For 18 years, this land has challenged, nurtured, and sustained my soul. I don't feel I own it -- certainly not its spirit. I am honored to belong to it, in reciprocity.

A respite for Caturday in these wildly unhinged times.

Don't forget to rest.
Check on your friends.
And keep looking up.

ICE just raided Hyundai’s EV plant in GA—475 workers detained.
Hyundai is Tesla’s top EV rival and owns Boston Dynamics.
Tesla’s board just proposed a $1T pay package for Musk.
South Korea pledged $350B in U.S. investments weeks prior.
EVs, robotics, immigration, and power—watch the timing.

I did not know there's a #DogsOfBluesky 🤗

Here's my sweet girl, Molly.

Can ya' tell playing with the water hose is one of her absolute-instantly-turns-back-into-a-puppy favorite activities?

Current WIP. Got the background in, and just starting to refine the details. Many layers and brushstrokes to go!

New WIP... very rough initial layer. Reference photo is low res, so this will be a process.

Still a work in progress, but it keeps me going.

“Art is our one true global language. It knows no nation, it favors no race, and it acknowledges no class. It speaks to our need to reveal, heal, and transform. It transcends our ordinary lives and lets us imagine what is possible.”

“In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.”
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I forget to post my art here. I hope y'all are finding respite in the things that bring you joy. It's not an indulgence. It's survival and resistance.

Call me a crazy Transformers fangirl, but more of y'all (*waves hands generally at Americans*) should have seen "Transformers One."

Advice from a cat:

Think before you pounce. Not every target's viable. Conserve your effort.

Also, revel in your cuteness.
