March It is the first mild day of March Each minute sweeter than before The redbreast sings from the tall larch That stands beside our door. There is a blessing in the air, Which seems a sense of joy to yield To the bare trees, and mountains bare, And grass in the green field." WORDSWORTH. Slayer of the winter, art thou here again? O welcome, thou that bring 'et the summer nigh! The bitter wind makes not thy victory vain, Nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue sky. Welcome O March! Whose kindly days and dry Make April ready for the throstle’s song. Thou first redresser of the winter's wrong! WM. MORRIS. "The roaring moon of daffodil and crocus." TENNYSON. 29

Morning.
I still think about this a lot.
Acrylic painting of a barn owl with a human third eye, sitting in a hole in a tree.

A colorful oil painting on canvas showing tall, stylized white lilies rising against a bright blue background. The flowers grow from deep purple and dark earthy tones at the bottom, with soft pink outlines and green stems. Thick, expressive brushstrokes create texture and movement, making the flowers appear as if they are emerging upward toward the sky.

The older I get the more I absolutely CANNOT trust myself to make decisions in my luteal phase. These will end in tears, disrepute, and disgrace.
Spending this grey Saturday getting high off glue fumes as I finish a collage of Stella Maris and rewatching one of my favourite films (the IGP playthrough of Still Wakes The Deep)
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
Not now, mega-laser
This is how you write a goddamn headline.
