@pinocastellano It's better to do what works for you, for sure!

[Maritza Ruiz-Kim @marzkim]

@pinocastellano so I jumped on twitter coz I’m posting about my garden on bluesky and I know you mention your garden, so I wondered if u share pics here but I don’t see any! Anyway it would be cool if u came to bluesky too! Coz why not? Join ur friend Jim? 😆

@IllusDept @pinocastellano also It’s coz of Kelly Light’s class that I’m working on an early MG graphic novel that I’m having so much fun with!

@CTGrayToons @PLUGO It wasn't bad at all... Just that section of the fence. We had a 100 ft pine cut down in early January and *that* would’ve left a mark I’d it had fallen!

[Maritza Ruiz-Kim @marzkim]

@CTGrayToons @PLUGO This was a lesser gust... But still looks crazy when it's blowing on tall redwoods in our front yard!

[Maritza Ruiz-Kim @marzkim]

@PLUGO Woah

One month ago, my mom was diagnosed w/leukemia. This morning, she died. My brain must disconnect from the certainty of her. 1+1 no longer=2. 1+0? 1+(-1)? 1-1+x? Either way, 1+1≠2, not anymore. My brain re-runs the equation, but it's just null. I get it but it doesn't make sense.
