Why do we do weird things with human remains - like turn them into art, or line underground corridors with them, or worship them because we're told they belonged to a holy person once upon a time, or revere them because they belonged to our ancestors?

We'll look at this and much more at Writing the Occult: Relics on 10 May, including a special talk by Cat Irving about ossuaries and bones. Join us? 🧵⬇️

"I Dreamt of Brighter Days", 2012

I continue to transition my #art from #deviantart to #Pixelfed. #AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms such as Deviant Art for me. And unlike most other platforms, I greatly appreciate the freedom of the #Fediverse, including the lack of data collection, or the lack of algorithms dictating what we see, think or feel. #HelloPixelfed. #GoodbyeDeviantArt.

This is more of a #photomanipulation than a #digitalpainting - though there are touch ups. Originally, when I created this, it was meant to represent how I was feeling at the same, particularly during February, one of the most #depressing months. And now I reflect on how much has changed. Though I have experienced #dark days, I have also learned the value and necessity of finding meaning (i.e., finding #alifeworthliving). This can be anything from arts, nature, crafts, activities, hobbies, meditation, relationships and so on. Reflecting back on 2012, I am happy to say that life is much more bright nowadays. However, life would not be so bright without those dark days.

Should give birth to something
good and lovely." -Chinua Achebe

my sweetie is a big fan of the show, “Bones.”

I like it well enough but not while I’m trying to eat. (you’ll understand if you’ve ever watched it.)

one thing I like about it is it’s guest stars. this is probably not a complete list but…

Betty White
Billie Gibbons
Cyndi Lauper
Freddie Prinze Jr
Stephen Fry
Zooey Deschanel

I like *all* these folks for various reasons.
