I do not believe in hocus pocus.
Music is my fuel.
In search of wisdom.

COME VISIT by Courtney Mary Andrews:

"I am an ambassador of love.
These towns with their similar shapes,
streets filling and emptying by early morning.
Have you heard, kind stranger?
Love is a beautiful place,
even with its messy alleys
and poor city planning.
Come get lost.
Do not let possible endings
keep you from it.
Visit it sometime
when you are most afraid of yourself."

Saw her live last night in #Hamburg. ppl of #Goteborg #Stockholm #Oslo #Malmo #Copenhagen GO!

I had two #crochet pieces in the #FunaDay LA popup show in Long Beach yesterday. My Book Blanket 2025 was displayed on an inflated mattress with a photo guide to show the original book covers involved; and handing on the wall above it, my "Facing the New Year" panel of twelve faces in squares.
Two crocheted pieces displayed against a wall made of wood slats. One is made of 48 squares, displayed on a mattress like a made-up bed; on the wall above, a twelve-square panel hangs; each panel is a crocheted face.

For St. David's Day, the #chalkart on our front walk is loosely based on the 1902 self-portrait of Welsh artist Gwen John, plus daffodils and a holiday greeting in Welsh. #StDavidsDay #GwenJohn #DyddgwylDewiHapus #randomactsofwelshness

Waking up, glancing through the news, and notice that the 7,249th historically significant event of 2026 just happened.
We’re becoming so numb to living through major moments that the only thing that comes to mind is that famous Kafka diary entry, on August 2, 1914: 'Germany has declared war on Russia. Went swimming in the afternoon.'

Some great music from the 80s, no.9

Talking Heads. Road to Nowhere

This late Talking Heads classic seems like an apposite choice for 2026. Starting & finishing with almost gospel a-cappella sections, it shifts into a sort of military shuffle with continuing chanted vocals and a percussive drive. The song offers a relentless but almost mesmeric groove & sort of gets into your head. You'll be singing the chorus for the rest of the day... sorry about that.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen replies to Donald Trump's post claiming to be sending a hospital ship to Greenland:

"I am happy to live in a country where there is free and equal access to healthcare for everyone. Where it is not insurance and wealth that determine whether you get proper treatment.
The same approach is followed in Greenland.
Happy Sunday to all of you."

Just hoping the next viral trend is empathy, critical thinking skills, media literacy, accountability, and shutting up when you don't know what you're talking about.

No lambs yet but she does look ready to pop soon. The slimmer sheep is her companion so she doesn’t get lonely. Lucky companion gets treats too. In fact, she was most eager!

A photo of two ewes in a very green grass field under a grey cloudy sky. The sheep have creamy white fleece with a tuft on the forehead over black faces. Their legs are also black. The ewe on the left is rather wide as she is due to lamb soon.

"Dryden officials believe they are the first town in the state to ban data centers. The decision, which also bans cryptocurrency mines, comes after a local 18-month land-use moratorium put a halt to these kinds of projects. Dryden Deputy Supervisor Dan Lamb said that the decision to pass the ban stemmed from local concerns regarding data centers energy draw."

In the before picture, the mug has been painted with terra sig (from Louisiana, Virginia and Ontario) and is unglazed. This is one of the pieces I decorated at the dining room table when it was too cold to be in my studio.

Two unfired ceramic mugs with intricate geometric patterns and textures, one featuring gold and gray colors, and the other in soft pink tones. They are placed on a wooden table with a blurred background.My hand holding a finished ceramic mug with carved diamond patterns painted in earthy tones of brown and turquoise. Blurred in the background, the gray cement floor in my studio.
