"Perched on a sturdy tree branch, a barred owl sits with its body turned slightly to the left, yet its face remains locked on the viewer, its large, dark eyes staring with an almost hypnotic intensity. The owl’s plumage is a rich tapestry of browns, creams, and grays, forming intricate horizontal barring across its chest and wings. Its sharp, hooked beak is tucked neatly into the feathery folds of its face, framed by a distinctive circular pattern that gives the bird an air of quiet wisdom. The texture of the owl's feathers appears soft yet structured, each layer overlapping like delicate brushstrokes in nature’s masterpiece. The rough bark of the tree contrasts with the smoothness of the owl’s plumage, creating a striking interplay between form and texture. The background is a blur of foliage, allowing the owl to stand as the undisputed focal point—silent, watchful, and utterly captivating." - Copilot

A cross stitch of a purple cat wearing orange and yellow boots splashing in a puddle. Orange and yellow music notes drift merrily from the kitty. The cross stitch is surrounded by bright and pale blue buttons as well as some small translucent rocks.

Clad in too-big rain boots, the cat strutted through puddles with surprising delight, discovering water is fun when wearing proper armour.

The Starling - In Welsh folklore the Drudwen (Starling) carried a message from Branwen across the Irish Sea to her brother Bendigeidfran, the king of Britain, to inform him of her mistreatment, launching a war. It's one of my favourite stories!

Tinsel the calico glares at you with a furrowed brow

“I asked chatGPT-“ ok, and I asked Tinsel, and she said you’re an uninspired, vapid dork who needs a computer to think for them.

I’ve got local starter sources but I really appreciate the offer. Customs/mail been taking forever lately though

It’s just my stubbornness wanting to do it completely from scratch. But it’s getting back into the habit to establish it first 🫠

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?
