In unsurprising news, Alyssa Naeher confirms her retirement. I wonder if she’ll become a goalkeeping coach. Wouldn’t be shocking to me if she stayed in Chicago for that.

i heard the sound of geese
and rushed to the big window
but there was only sky
darkening sherbet november sky
in the wake of the sun

i climbed half onto the windowsill
to see round the corner, and there:
the moon! 

a delicate silver-white crescent
above the distant trees

and while i half sat, half stood
calm for the first time today

the geese flew over
past the moon
in their fluid v
calling to each other as they went
and bidding the moon
a good november night

I’m only a third into the book In the Lonely Hours by Elle Alexanda but if you haven’t already read it I feel like it would be right up your alley.
A sweet and delicious slow burn that starts with the enemies-to-lovers
premise but seamlessly builds their friendship first.
It’s even better than I expected.

Good morning to dog who supports gay rights

Sometimes we cannot bear to look

Today I want to remember this piece because I still look at it proudly.
It's old and there are things I would do differently but I love it as it is :)

A compilation of clips from Star Trek: The Next Generation showing the instances in which Picard pulled his shirt. It is edited so that every time he pulls his shirt, his badge flies off of his uniform with a 'pop' sound.

I NEED YOUR INPUT!
I’m making a 4-pack of art postcards suitable for framing to make my art more accessible. It will be ~$40 +shipping.
I’d love to know if in budget. I plan to include ~1/4” white border. I’d be able to sell single prints at higher cost per print.
Let me know your 4 faves in each collection & which collection (5”square or 4x6”) you like best & help me decide 1st print set. (eg. sq =ABGH / 4x6 =ACDF fave: 4 x 6 set.)
Thanks! Please boost!

My husband and I rode our bikes to get our vaccines today. It had been gray all day, but the sun came out on our way back, just as we were passing this beautiful grass.

A new office cat joined this week. Steve is doing the onboarding. Steve loves cats.

A sphere

[Id 1 to 4: Wooden sculpture of a very spheric hen. On the top, circles of wood grain are really visible. It has burnt yellow, pink-ish and brown paint on the face, to make the beak, the comb, and the eyes. Two white dots to bright its gaze. On a workbench.]
