Sloth and Manatee have befriended microscopic Tardigrades, and being friends with something of such a different size presents some unique problems. Sloth may not be sure if Manatee’s idea of giving the little friends a leaf is going to work, but Sloth believes in Manatee, and that’s good enough.

This week’s not-tarot:

There’s a painting by René Magritte entitled La Prémeditation (Forethought) of a plant blossoming with all types of flowers which I’ve no doubt sneaked in here.

This one feels a bit like a work in progress, maybe that’s what the card is actually about. What do you think?


I saw this amazing photograph and had to do a color study of it, it’s such a thing to consider that we never look at the same sky twice

I left this in here for a second week, mostly to remind myself, if I’m being honest…


That’s enough of this silliness for now. Have a colorful week!

May you have a nice nap, may you find what you are looking for, won’t you be my neighbor?

I find it helpful if I look at my phone like it's one of those vanilla sugar wafers. It might feel good in the roof of my mouth for a second, but then I'm just getting jittery on empty calories. Manatees, of course, know all about the danger of empty calories.

Just have to say before I put my phone down that I appreciate your gentle nudge at the end there 😁
