I spent the first part of 2024 creating this series of mini #paleoart linocuts. each block is 3x3in and printed by me at my BK studio.
as I hoped (I wanted to prove I could make paleoart as "fine art") they have been very popular; all are available in my shop (linked on my profile)!

Taking care of a family member or other loved one can be hard work. People do it out of love or a sense of responsibility, kinship, or community. But even when the choice doesn't feel like a burden, it can take a toll.

Dr Valentina Rosina, the new director of the Solnhofen museum, is looking for researchers interested in working on the unpublished material in their collection. Especially the rich crustacean fauna really needs some love. In case you're interested, reach out to Dr Rosina! #PalAss24 #paleontology

Every day (and maybe especially today) is a good day to say, yet again, that trans rights are human rights.

We need to start by explaining #OrdinaryDying (e.g. bit.ly/TheosDFB)
Then we can talk about how we maintain symptom control once the dying person can't reliably waken to swallow meds towards the last few days of life - when syringe driver maintains comfort but doesn't shorten life.

Dying for Beginners | Dr Kathryn Mannix
In modern British society, death is out of sight and behind closed doors. Many of us lack direct exposure to the dying process - with all sorts of potential emotional and spiritual consequences for how we grieve our loved ones, as well as how we prepare for our own deaths. What does the dying process actually look like? A short animation by Emily Downe, and voiced by Dr Kathryn Mannix which guides you gently on a step by step journey through the process of dying. Acclaimed author, speaker and former palliative care physician Dr Kathryn Mannix has spent her medical career working with people who have incurable, advanced illnesses. The author of two Sunday Times Bestsellers – With The End in Mind and Listen, Dr Mannix is on a mission to reclaim the public’s understanding of dying. CREDITS Written and voiced by Dr Kathryn Mannix Directed and designed by Emily Downe Animated by Martha Halliday Music and sound by Jan Willem de With Produced by Theos with thanks to The Fetzer institute Find out more about Theos' work in the area of death, dying and the afterlife here: https://www.theosthinktank.co.uk/dying-for-beginners-theos-work-on-death-dying-and-the-afterlife ***** Like what you see?

Dear @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
You said that part of the reason you couldn’t vote for the AD bill was the lack of adequate palliative care in the UK.
You are the health secretary.
Will you now pledge publicly & immediately to fix that?
Or are dying people not enough of a priority?

If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care?

Good palliative care can alleviate the pain of dying – this bill means Labour must fund it | Rachel Clarke
Making dying easier is not the solution when NHS, social and palliative care are simply not there for patients

Too many times I’ve heard lip service to palliative care
We’re heroes etc
Then we’re still left running marathons andto provide care.
We’re tired of trying to do one of the hardest jobs with next to no resource.

For the newbies, one of the great features on here is that when someone has tried to quote-post dunk on you, hit the … and select “detach quote” and nobody will see the post or who wrote it and they will look like an asshole. (Blocking works like this too.)
