We don't get much snow here so I always rush to walk in it when we do. #wintryscenes
Years ago I bought a collection of IBM Selectric Typewriter ‘golf balls’ (including some rarer ones) from a typewriter repair shop. Once upon a time this was how fonts were stored for the machine. The owner literally used his arm to shovel them into a cardboard box like he couldn’t get rid of them fast enough, in a shop full of hundreds of them. A good memory. #design #typography #typewriter #fonts

History made: 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈Scotland becomes the first constituent country of the UK to adopt a system of ‘self-ID’ and the reversal of the medicalisation of gender recognition.

Since the creation of the door, there has always been a cat whining to get out.

Happy Alban Arthan! Here in Threshold Forest, in the northern hemisphere, the #winter #solstice is the time when the sun appears the lowest in the sky and days are shortest. Druids celebrate the return of the Divine Child, the Mabon, the rebirth of the Sun, and increasing light. The Wheel of the Year cycles past death and towards new life. #wintersolstice #newyear #Yule #IoSaturnalia #nature #forest #natureconnection #naturephotography #landscapephotography #photography #pagan #animism @animism
Tail is done. Priscilla Queen of the Peacocks may just be done by Christmas Day if work finally calms down… #embroidery #BrazilianEmbroidery @fiberarts
