#FindsFriday! Usually I don't post things older than the late #Palaeolithic period, but #insects embedded in amber never cease to amaze me - the sheer age!

This ant preserved in its finest detail is some 50-million-year old.

Found in Gujarat, India.

Someone loves her squeaky snake! 🐺🐍❤️

Despite all the bad days and mean people...

I still believe in good days and kind people.

...Plus, there are always dogs.

REAL ART FROM REAL HANDS 🌻 HANG IT, WEAR IT, SIT ON IT, GIFT IT, COLLECT IT #RealArtRealHands

Eight miles high, and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street, that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own - The Byrds (sung by)

Not all men are annoying. Some are dead.

BREAKING:

The Weekend! Woot!

The late, great George Jones's song "Color of the Blues" lent its title to this minimalist abstract work from me. Loose strata in shades of cobalt, indigo, navy, and other blues collide with subtle bands of brown, green, white, and purple in this piece. https://jon-woodhams.pixels.com/featured/color-of-the-blues-jon-woodhams.html #AbstractArt #ContemporaryArt #AYearForArt #FediGiftShop #BuyIntoArt #ArtForInteriorDesign #CreativeToots

Who on earth would ever order this!? 😖

Biochemist Marie Maynard Daly, who studied correlations between heart attacks and cholesterol, and between smoking and lung disease, was born #OTD in 1921. Daly was also part of the team that established the primary nucleic acid bases.

She was the first Black woman to receive a chemistry PhD in the US.

not to be pedantic, but [is pedantic at length]

Adventures in #beekeeping. Now that Wednesday afternoon’s swarm is settled, it’s time to start moving the #bees a few feet at a time towards the other hives. This is my first experience dealing with a swarm, so learning something new every day.

Four years ago, on this day, I wrote the most important thing I've ever written.

It became the basis for the entire Starship Gender project: https://starshipgender.com/sunday-april-28-2019

I knew I was trans, but there was still so much more I didn't know, yet, about who I am.

The closing words have never lost their magic, for me:

"I love you because you deserve to be loved, and you deserve to have something that can always be trusted – something from inside. You can always trust that you deserve to be loved. And you can always trust that I love you."

May it be so for all of us.
