I have this picture of Tifa before we got her at the rescue. She had had 4 litters under the age of 2, had been abandoned, and was being fed in someone's garden shed. Now she is just a silly girl who loves rolling on rugs, and playing with toy mice . #rescuecat #adoptdontshop #torbie #cats

"She wanted him

a pause.

cheeks flush cherry red
eyes meet amongst people peppered room;
crockery chimes,
murmuring others dialed down to distance."

Seems fitting at 2am

Eyes stare at endless dark
Shadowy shapes which shift and form
Edges blur into the black
Before fading to nothing...

Stop. Listen. The earth is singing her song through rustling grass and creaking oaks, while worms weave paths beneath our feet and butterflies dance overhead. Nature's symphony plays eternally - we just need to tune in. 🌿🦋

Singing earth.
As I stood there, looking across the meadow, I realised I had never really known the world at all, until now. The quiet, silent places were no longer so – the earth was singing to me. I could…

A silent witness to despair, I learned too late that inaction has consequences. While others cheered the darkness, I found my faith in the aftermath. Now I pray not just for his soul, but for the courage to act when others need light in their darkest moments. #faith #redemption #mentalhealth #prison
Escape
Lancelot reflects on a jail inmate's desperate cries for help, initially dismissed as mere ranting. However, as the cries escalate, he feels guilt for not intervening. In a moment of clarity, they pray for him, realizing the tragedy of others cheering for his suffering rather than offering support, highlighting the struggle between faith and fate.

Can anyone help me identify the artist on this one? I couldn't find it online, but this is a limited edition print. May end up getting it if it is still in the shop next time. I look at it every time I go there!

She wants a fuss
She stares

Smear tests are awkward enough, but then the nurse is just chatting to you while you are lying there. Please let me get dressed again, and we can continue this conversation. xD
Anyway, 5 minutes of awkwardness every 3 years is a small price to pay!

Anyone else consider themselves an empath?

Damn, some days are hard.
When people tell you things and you are right there with them, actually there. You can see it and feel their emotions.

On being an empath
I suppose, to start, I should define what an empath is for those unfamiliar with the term: “An empath is someone who has a heightened ability to perceive and feel the emotions, energy, and me…

Orange is a happy colour.Connotations of warmth, sunshine, and summer days.But an orange can rot.Peel back that toughened exterior,Inside is the soft, squishy flesh.You never know what it will tast…

i'm always frustrated by the narrative that lockdowns weren't traumatizing for disabled people. i get it, but as a disabled person who lives alone and for whom isolation is a MASSIVE trigger for my illness, yes, lockdowns were intensely traumatic. disability is not a monolith!

I made this for someone to give their girlfriend for Valentine's Day. I think it turned out quite well. Hopefully, he likes it!

Rainbow gatherings in Oregon, Black Pyramid and patchouli. Drums that clatter like hooves.

This is a project of mine. I would love to chat with anyone involved directly with inmates and true rehabilitation to find out what resources you currently use, and if this can help. Designed for Washington state, but will apply elsewhere. #prisonreform #rehabilitation #clemency

There were lots of swans on the river today in Worcester. The water level is still pretty high too!
