Witzilla. All about things related to music, art, kindness, community, creativity, connection - oh, and hilarity. Lots of that. Really, I just want us all to be okay. Anti-war. Supporting peace & safety in Gaza and protecting trans kids. All kids. Always.

Was looking up the ingredients of a skin care product I like. Their AI helpfully suggested this for my face also.

❤️
Before you were anything - before name or breath, you were love becoming form. Not made, but woven in the hush of a womb, humming with the music of belonging. Knitted from the yarn that holds the stars together- not separate from the holy, but one with it. And still - this world forgets. Teaches you to forget. To close. To carry the wound as if it were your name. But beloved, you are not the wound. You are the weaver. You are the thread. You are the divine. This is how we heal- not by striving, but by softening into the truth of who we are. We are not broken. We are knitted from love. The very fabric of our being. Every moment, every breath. If only we can remember... (Christy Sharshel 5.24.25)

"Bees" by Angie Renfro
Painting of three bees in flight on a cornflower blue background. The wings seem to be in motion. A very simple yet beautiful painting.

A large black cat lying on an alley road in Montreal, looking directly at the camera. The road is covered in blossoms from the trees overhead, the buildings behind it are red brick with green windows and doors.

Richard Thorn - "Light" - Watercolour
A gorgeous watercolour scene of sunshine coming through the trees on the snow- in the backdrop are some mountains. It is done in hues of blues and whites and yellow and is a beautiful interplay of light filtered in different ways.

I slept in past Eat O'Clock, and this is what I woke up to.
Image of a black and gold cat with green eyes peering down intently at the viewer, reminding them it is way past breakfast time.

Almost any day, no matter how bad, can be brightened up with a rubber dinosaur or shark. (I didn't realize until after I took this picture that someone had arranged the sharks in a feeding frenzy, which just makes this day even better).
A toystore display of all kinds of different rubber animals, sharks, dinosaurs, chipmunks, lizards, whales, tigers,elephants, etc.

"The passing of time" (2023), Jess Allen
A painting of a woman laying on a couch with her back turned to the viewer. She's propped up on pillows and reading a book. The sunlight from the window is landing on her and the book and the floor. It's a beautiful playing of shadow and light of very normal everyday experience.

Our landlord is currently up in our attic trying to evict the family of raccoons who moved in. If Guardians of the Galaxy taught us anything, it's that they should've brought an mp3 player and a rocket launcher.

Not fun breaking your wrist as a nine-year-old, BUT being able to get everyone in your class to sign your cast does make you the envy of the fourth grade.

Daughter of the seasonal tea room by Ikenaga Yasunari ( born 1965), a contemporary Japanese Nihonga painter, mineral pigments on a canvas (w/thanks to Arte in Giappone)
An image of beautiful person with long black hair framing their face. They are looking away from the gaze of the viewer, wearing a knit scarf. They have clasped a piece of their hair and we see a gold ring on the middle finger of their hand.

Sorry, folks, will repost here with ALT text. Somehow I missed it on this one.
A picture of a person with black hair, wearing eye makeup and lipstick. They are wearing a long light blue shirt, their eyes are closed, their hands are clasped. The background is yellow, with bits of blue showing through. Their face and hands are mostly monochrome black and grey, with some very small pops of colour coming through.

Kicki Edgren, Swedish (b. 1972), w/thanks to Diego Dal Medico
Powerful image of a woman seemingly standing in front of a fence. She is wearing a light blue dress and her arms are up in a defensive position in front of her face. Her eyes are closed. There are traces of red pain on different parts of her. There is a splash of yellow in the bottom right corner, and into the fence seems engraved "is it only me".

Just in case you forgot, this is one of my high holidays...
A chicken wearing a party hat, looking serious in front of a martini. The chicken is surrounded by flowers. A banner at the bottom says May 23rd, 2025, International Drinking with Chickens Day.

Here's a fun game. Which cat is super sweet and cuddly, but also will run and hide if you sneeze or someone new comes over... and which one is fearless and had to be rescued from INSIDE THE FREAKING HEATING DUCTS where they were obviously hunting monsters and mountain lions (as one does).
A picture of two cats - a skittish looking skinny black cat with gold eyes, and behind them, a steely eyed looking orange and white cat who looks like they are about to take over the world.

Text by Dr. Elizabeth Haven Hawley: Annual shout out to my mom, who said she wanted a small filing cabinet for mother's day when working on her dissertation. My dad got her a microwave. For two weeks she left several manila folders in it and wouldn't let anyone use it - until my dad procured a filing cabinet.

A colourful garden centre with lots of flowers all around. The sign on a blue building says "instead of trying harder, try softer."
