Some Barbara for your timeline. From the Aztecs 1964. Sometimes my favourite 1st Doctor story. Sometimes it's the Keys of Marinus, sometimes the Romans.
Handmade with polymer clay

Mike Pence is an example of toxic Christianity. We should have freedom of religion, yes, but we must also ensure freedom *from* religion. Your religious freedoms don’t give you the right to deny freedoms or civic participation to others. Period.

These two maps are a good example how data visualization influences our perception. Same election, same results, but one shows the winning party by area, one by population density. (Map Credits: Karim Douïeb, Jetpack.ai)

I feel like Neighbours should have to wait fifteen years, with a one off TV movie at the midway point, before coming back, like a normal show would.

A wilderness YEAR? Singular? Bah, they didn't even get a chance to produce a Neighbours; The New Adventures series of novels.

Today's random #tarot card from the Druid Craft Tarot deck is the Four of Cups.
A young man gazes wistfully from a tree with 3 cups before him and one behind.
When this card comes up in a reading then I take it to mean that someone is being left out.
If it appears in the Thoughts/ Decisions row then it can mean that someone is not being involved in the discussions of plans. Look around you for who you haven't consulted.
If it appears in the Feelings and Emotions row then it can mean that someone needs your time more than those you are spending time on.
If it appears in the Physical and Material world row that can mean you have let a job be put back for long enough. Get your house into order.

The James Webb telescope giving us more universal joy. The site always includes some great info on the object. Plus, this alt text to the image is just delightful:
"An hourglass shaped cloud of material burst out from the bright center, with the orange, semi-opaque gas cloud on top and orange fading to a bright semi-opaque blue gas cloud on the bottom, all against a black sky speckled with white dots."

Today's random #tarot card from the Druid Craft Tarot deck is The Hermit.
A man stands under moonlight on a clifftop, alone except for a dog next to him.
He holds a lantern as he looks out over a winding river.
When this card comes up in a reading then I take it to mean that some things should be best done alone.
If it appears in the Thoughts/ Decisions row then it can mean making your own mind up. Just as the Hermit looks out on the world, take in information, but let it be your decision alone.
If it appears in the Feelings and Emotions row then it can mean doing things by yourself for a while. Not exactly me-time but proving yourself as an individual to others.
If the card appears in the Physical and Material world row then it can mean focusing on your own home and interests, but quietly. Get on with jobs and don't make a fuss about it.

When I visited a national #WitchFest event shortly before the Pandemic, I was enlightened by how many different beliefs people held, the disparate nature of those and the crossovers.

#Eco-awareness and much more.
No one person seemed to hold exactly the same views as another.
The lack of a centrally-organised religion meant people made their own minds up and weren't told what to think.
The general opinion seemed to me to do no harm to the planet and to others. Theoretically the latter is a tenet of the major Abrahamic religions, though many followers of them could do with remembering that.
Opposite the queue to get in was a man ranting about how we were all going to hell .. as though we all believed in a hell. He was intent on doing us harm .. upsetting us; yet the attendees did nothing to warrant this. He didn't understand us and, try as a few did, wasn't interested in discussing this or finding out.
I myself am an atheist, but care about the planet. I also love tarot and other means of supposed divination, though more as a way of telling a story or entertaining or helping others, rather than any power.
I am open to all things .. with evidence.

Today's random #tarot card from the Druid Craft Tarot deck is the Fferyllt. Known as Temperance in some decks.
The card lends itself to alchemy as a metaphor; bringing together disparate elements.
If this card appears in the Thoughts and Decisions row then I take it to mean finding a solution to things that brings in many elements.. OR not over committing to any one thing; a good time to dabble, but read up from multiple sources.
If this card appears in the Feelings and Emotions row then it can be auspicious for organising a get together of others.
If this card appears in the Physical and Material world row then it can mean finding peace at home from all around you.

It's about time I shared some of my spookier #filmposters, as it's basically my favourite genre to work with. So here's Nosferatu, IT, Hellraiser and The Nun ... 🖤

Reminding people of this.
Trump claimed America was great already. No need to do it again. I am not sure what he did over those 48 hours to achieve this though.

Heath Ledger's Joker. Promarkers and colour pencils on toned paper.

Buster Keaton, from Cops, 1922. Handmade in monochrome with polymer clay.
I've made a lot of clay people, a LOT! Can't stress that enough, lots and lots 😁 but this is one of my favourites.
First image is a black and white photo, second is a colour photo, third is the reference pic.

My cover for Scarlet Witch #1, published by Marvel Comics.
I specially like this one, because I painted it myself and had a blast doing it.
To me it makes sense that sorcery should be like a dance. Considering her Romani ancestry, and me being a Spaniard, a flamenco inspired pose seemed a proper choice.
