Sorry, I didn’t get to any Christmas posts earlier. Here’s one.

It dawned on me earlier, that when I buy a game, I'm buying the results of (many) someone's creativity. Why the heck would I want someone to bypass so much of the creativity when that's the thing I want and am paying money for?

#heatedrivalry is fantastic and I hope it'll lead to more pro (male) athletes coming out

Man I kinda feel bad for the E33 team. Imagine creating your first game from scratch, winning the most awards of any game at the event ever, and people are just furious about it online.

Criticize the event itself, sure, but those devs did nothing wrong to deserve that hate. They made a good game

I may not have made a wreath for my door yet, but I have been busy creating a border for my latest embroidery. It’s a work in progress and there’s still a long way to go, but I’m busy stitching… 😉🪡🌿 I’ll try to keep you updated. 🌺

And it's done. In this quilt, I tried to convey the sun rising though the clouds with hints of color breaking through. What do you thin? #artquilt #hope #abstractfiber #piecedart

Ah sorry, amid all the wobbegong love I missed this! Wobbegong or goosefish? I don’t know. There are twelve species of wobbegong, and to my great shame I cannot identify all of them. But that thing here below is definitely a wobbegong and wobbegongs remain rad as hell bsky.app/profile/harr...
Further down the original thread, someone says the photo is actually a Goosefish and posts a photo of a Wobbegong. Both look like something out of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA! And at least we can now use the saying, "You can't tell a Wobbegong from a Goosefish!"

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery
