I need to make rent and be able to pay a vet, possibly an emergency vet.
It would be so helpful if a couple people made art purchases. More immediate, besides needing to pay a handywoman and buy enough groceries to last until Friday, so my family can eat while I go to bed for a few days, I finally found a therapist that I'd like to see to manage my mental health better.
Seasonsal depression, losing some pieces to anxious dogs, my mom with dementia having several bad days, friend breakup, pregnant dog, holiday loneliness, new business burnout and slow sales are a lot to navigate and I'm struggling, financially and emotionally.

NASA's Chandra Rewinds Story of Great Eruption of the 1840s
Using snapshots taken over 20 years with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have learned important new details about an eruption from Eta Carinae witnessed on Earth in the mid-19th century.
Chandra data spanning decades has been combined into a new movie that contains frames of Eta Carinae from 1999, 2003, 2009, 2014, and 2020. Astronomers used the Chandra observations, along with data from ESA’s (European Space Agency’s) XMM-Newton, to watch as the stellar eruption from 180 years ago continues to expand into space at speeds up to 4.5 million miles per hour. The new insights gleaned from Eta Carinae show how different space observatories can work together to help us understand changes in the universe that unfold on human timescales.
Eta Carinae is a system that contains two massive stars (one is about 90 times the mass of the Sun and the other is believed to be about 30 times the Sun’s mass). In the middle of the 19th century, Eta Carinae was observed to experience a huge explosion that astronomers have dubbed the “Great Eruption.” During this event, Eta Carinae ejected between 10 and 45 times the mass of the Sun. This material became a dense pair of spherical clouds of gas, now called the Homunculus Nebula, on opposite sides of the two stars.
A bright ring of X-rays around the Homunculus Nebula was discovered about 50 years ago and studied in previous Chandra work. The new movie from Chandra, plus a deep image generated by adding the data together, reveal important hints about Eta Carinae’s volatile history, including rapid expansion of the ring and a previously unknown faint shell of X-rays outside it.
“We’ve interpreted this faint X-ray shell as the blast wave from the Great Eruption in the 1840s,” said Michael Corcoran at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, who led the study. “It tells an important part of Eta Carinae’s backstory that we wouldn’t otherwise have known.”
Because the newly discovered outer X-ray shell has a similar shape and orientation to the Homunculus Nebula, Corcoran and his colleagues think both structures have a common origin.
The idea is that material was blasted away from Eta Carinae well before the 1843 Great Eruption — sometime between 1200 and 1800, based on the motion of clumps of gas previously seen in data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Later, the fast blast wave from the Great Eruption tore through space, colliding with and heating the clumps to millions of degrees to create the bright X-ray ring. The blast wave has now traveled beyond the bright ring.
“The shape of this faint X-ray shell is a plot twist in my mind,” said co-author Kenji Hamaguchi, a researcher at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and NASA Goddard. “It shows us that the faint shell, the Homunculus, and the bright inner ring likely all come from eruptions from the star system.”
With XMM-Newton, the researchers saw that the X-ray brightness of Eta Carinae has faded with time, agreeing with previous observations of the system obtained with NASA’s Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) telescope on the International Space Station. The authors applied a simple model to estimate how bright Eta Carinae was in X-rays at the time of the Great Eruption and combined this with the speed of the material — determined from the movie — to estimate how quickly the high-speed gas was ejected.
The researchers combined this information with an estimate of how much gas was ejected to determine that the Great Eruption likely consisted of two explosions. There was a first, quick ejection of a small amount of fast, low-density gas which produced the X-ray blast wave. This was followed by the slower ejection of dense gas that eventually formed the Homunculus Nebula.
A team led by Nathan Smith of the University of Arizona, one of the co-authors of the new X-ray study, has previously suggested that the Great Eruption was caused by the merger of two stars, in what was originally a triple system. This would also explain the ring-like structure seen in X-rays because it would cause material to be ejected in a flat plane.
“The story of Eta Carinae just keeps getting more interesting,” said Smith. “All evidence is suggesting that Eta Carinae survived a very powerful explosion that would normally obliterate a star. I can’t wait for the next episode of data to find out what other surprises Eta Carinae has in store for us.”
Last spring, after the lockdown, muralist Maggie’s rent went up an extra $1200. Like most New Yorkers, the rug was pulled right out from under her, so she found a 320 sq. ft. apt. in Brooklyn, New York City for $1800 mo. (A steal.)
Clearly, her murals really make this apt. wonderful.
After living alone for 2 yrs., Maggie didn’t want to go back to having a roommate.
She looked at a lot of reasonable rent apts., all in unsafe neighborhoods and luckily came across this one on Craigslist.
There were no closets, the kitchen cabinets didn’t match, and the bd. was tiny, but she knew she had to jump on it and make it work.
The sunlight coming in was gorgeous.
Of course her mural is her favorite element.
The biggest challenge was storage. She bought 3 closets from IKEA and liked that she was able to customize them.
It took hours to cover the mismatched cabinets with contact paper.
The bd. size and layout was hard- it’s only 8′ x 8,’ so the bed would be on one wall and the dresser on the other.
She was able to fit a small night stand next to the bed.
After 3000 years the Melody of Flowers has returned
She's back baby! So read the effects below and share your thoughts if you will please. Translations provided by The Organization.
My first thoughts? Konami should errata Ostinato, 1st Movement Solo, and Fortissimo to be treated as "Melodious" cards. Also the deck still needs a better way to search Polymerization like Fluffals have. Otherwise the cards are simply fantastic.

My cousin ended up commissioning me for a digital picture and since you do art commissions professionally, are there any dimensions you recommend for a vertical drawing? Her bf doesn't want it to be toooo big and I think he has plans of printing it out to give to his parents possibly? Any size recs are appreciated cause I am just l o s t when it comes to this, thanks!
heyo!
these days, my vertical canvases are usually 1200 x 1800 pixels, which i think is probably quite non-standard, but is a habit leftover from when i had a much slower laptop and going above these dimensions would slow everything down. and often when i DO need to print things (generally if someone asks me to put a specfic piece on my redbubble, i'll enlarge it using waifu2x)
i'd actually recommend going like... A4 at 300dpi if you know before starting that you're going to be making it specfically for printing, which is 2480 x 3508 pixels 📃

what kind of brush do you use? i wanna know how to get that pixel-y look....
i actually just use the default g-pen in all of my art programs :-)! i just turn off anti aliasing, and work on preddy small spaces [like a third of 1800 x 1200]
Spent 24 hours wearing my brace, then 18 hours, and now zero hours. Also applying the PT techniques I was taught. I have nearly full range of motion, but still feel like I have too tight rubber bands when I wiggle my fingers, most especially when I bend my hand forward. I think a couple more days will be necessary before I get back to doing...anything.
Remember, if you don't schedule maintenance for your body, it will schedule it for you. Just like machinery.
Needless to say, I. Am. Bored. I canolay any PC games because neither of my hands can currently use the mouse. I use the mouse with my left hand because my right wrist will lock and I have to use my other hand to get it working again. It's painful. Why does it lock up? It started after I had surgery, and I've seen two doctors about it. Neither of them can figure out why, so I just switched it over. PC games that off full controller use is vital. Currently, what I want to play (Anno 1800) does not have this function. I'm dealing with a weird bug in Dragon Age Inquisition that's making the giants not die, and I play on my XBox. In the nearly 10 years I've been playing, I have never experienced this. It's extremely frustrating.
Obviously no sewing or quilting right now, just loads of boredom. I'm gonna see about playing DA Origins again. Or practice world domination with Civilization VI. I would love to play Baldur's Gate, but I need to dissect my PC and put in a new graphics card. I have neither the skill, money, or confidence to do that. LOL
I really wanna play it on XBox, but it requires an XBox Series X. I could pre-order the XBox version and have it collect dust while I dream of purchasing a new console, but I need to be an adult and practice impulse control. We have medical bills (nearly $4k) a Care Credit/vet bill ($1200), and the new water heater that need paying off first ($2500). A new console would have to be a gift. Series X only because Series S has no disc drive.
Am I grumpy? Absolutely! My ADHD med is preventing me from losing my mind though. When folks with ADHD get too bored, we fall into an extremely depressive state. It may sound absurd, but our brain becomes very under-stimulated. This is dangerous. This is when things get really bad and hospitalization or getting put a psych ward can happen. Meds help keep my brain stimulated enough to not get that bad. I have been there and it was terrifying and dark.
Hence why I have multiple hobbies. I would be painting, but all my watercolors were trashed five years ago due to solidifying in their tubes. I couldn't cut them open go access and moisten the paint. The good paints are $$$ and I refuse to use the student/child grade watercolors because they look so horrible (like colored sand in water). If anyone wants to make me cry with joy, I have paints on my wishlist. I have plenty of paper, brushes, and space, just missing paint.
I hope y'all have had a good weekend and a good start to your week.
