Letter #9: Amanita’s Gift

This letter smells strongly of good, loamy soil. Dear Amanita, I'm writing this to you for a few reasons. One, it's kinda what I do now, and two, I've seen that you've had some harder times lately. I get that. I mean this sincerely, I'm no stranger to hard times. I am a…

[Shibari Art - Clothed Figures]

Finished this painting today and I’m pretty happy with it. #shibari #art #painting #watercolor
A watercolour painting of two people. One person is sitting between the legs of the other, with their legs and arms bound by beige rope. Their dark brown hair hangs down, hiding their face. Their partner is looking down with their heads nearly touching. They have blue/blonde hair and a tender expression.

Letter #8: Teagan’s Feather

"Dear Teagan, Listen, bear with me, I'm trying to get better at these introductions. Because I guess having an envelope appear out of nowhere is "moderately alarming" and most beings would "prefer a little more warning, thank you." That's why I tucked it inside of your book instead! Can you let me know if that was frightening for you (not at all frightening, a little bit scary, I was scared but I got over it immediately or "it scared the hells out of me--if you have hells in your realm?)

P3 and I fired up Pokémon Go today for a blast from 2016. Unfortunately, I didn’t play in so long that we had to start over. 🤷‍♀️ Which is okay I suppose, because I have no idea what’s going on anyhow. I’d hoarded a lot of items and Pokémon before, though.

I’m trying to learn how to use Procreate! Anyway it’s Vico Ortiz from a photo on their Instagram. #art #digitalart
A digital painting of a nonbinary person wearing a floral robe in teal and blue. The robe is partially open at the chest and leg, they are wearing shorts/boxers under it. The lighting is very golden and their shadow is brown. They have short, curly brown hair and a pensive expression.

I read an article a few weeks ago about a writer asking ChatGPT to suggest three submissions for her to send to editors and it was a horror story but I can’t seem to find it again with keywords, does anyone remember the article in question? It kept lying to her about having read the articles.

Island has her gables back. Holes in the floor have registers. Not shown, above fridge cabinets are restored and next to fridge gable is back. Am mildly disagreeing with PM on this one; he says they can fill this hole with silicone (third pic). I say it should […]

A kitchen island with no countertop, but all of its sides intact. Fridge in the background and some view of tree out the window. A black heat register with matching wood piece in the centre next to a white baseboard. A white kitchen gable next to a window where a section of grout is now missing for the tiles.

6 disc changers did also let you change the discs, haha. Mine would start with:

*Florence + The Machine: Lungs
*Smashing Pumpkins: Siamese Dream
*Depeche Mode: Violator
*The National: Boxer
*The Black Keys: Brothers
*Rush: Moving Pictures

CHALLENGE: You got a new car! It's got a SIX DISC CD CHANGER IN IT. However, it does not have a Bluetooth receiver or an aux in. It also barfs burned CDs out. So, you have to listen to just six albums. What you picking?

EXPERT MODE: No comps, no live shows, no greatest hits, no soundtrack albums.

@tartdarling.com guess who! went to the bookstore this weekend!
A stack of three books, the top one is A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab, and the one beneath it is Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. The bottom book is a little white book called The Four Dimensional Human, Ways of Being in the Digital World by Laurence Scott.

@discopriest.bsky.social I took *a* personality thing. I haven't seen most of these shows, so it's kind of underwhelming? openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac...

If you skip down to "characters I actually know," Lady Sybil Crawley is rad. I also don't mind Guinan or Elizabeth Bennet, haha.

y’all I am beat ☠️ (workshop painting progress following David Langevin’s instructions). We painted all day with only a lunch break and the last photo still isn’t done, need to add opaque highlights and black glazes.
a canvas glazed orange with a sketch of mountains and a lake underneath in pencil, placed on an easel An easel holding a painting on canvas. It’s had dark purple added and the shapes of rocks are present at the bottom along with white snow on the mountains, a blue and pink and yellow sky, and a purple section of mountain. The same mountain painting but dark purple has been added for trees with yellow highlights over the trees and reflections in the water. The painting has had a blue glaze applied over the mountain and a green glaze over the trees, turning the yellow green and the purple dark green. A yellow and orange glaze has been added at the right front foreground rocks.

@docwebb.bsky.social so…after Christmas (Dec 27) we were supposed to host dinner! My stepdad just had spine surgery so we pushed it back a few days. Come to ours, I said. It’ll be easier for you. The turkey was not defrosted.

We took the turkey and put it into our new, big kitchen sink with water.
