“Riumar Dunes” (2024)

In the summer of 2024, my children and I drove to Spain to explore the Ebro Delta. It was July–August, yet this place felt surprisingly peaceful.Riumar is nothing like the typical Spanish coast. You leave the highway, drive another 40–50 minutes through endless rice fields, and suddenly reach a shoreline of white sand dunes stretching toward the Mediterranean.This is one of Europe’s most important stopover points for migratory birds. Pink flamingos gather in the lagoons, and birdwatchers often outnumber ordinary tourists. Most travelers never come here—they are looking for busy beaches, nightlife, and large resorts. But locals, nature lovers, and ornithologists know just how special this landscape is.What fascinated me most was the sand. It didn’t feel static. It flowed like water, shimmered in the sunlight, and seemed to change color every moment. I wanted to capture that softness and movement, so I used delicate pastel tones, pearlescent pigments, and flowing brushstrokes to make the dunes feel almost alive.You may notice a small figure of my son in the painting. My children occasionally appear in my stories on social media, and they are a huge part of my life, so sometimes they naturally find their way into my paintings as well. They are not portraits or the main subject—just small figures within the landscape, quietly reminding us of our own place in nature and inviting the viewer to step into the scene.

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

thinking about diatoms again

[crabussy]

microscopic living stars made of glass that eat the sun. and they're all around us. in every body of water. glass sun-eating stars.

[crabussy]

I like them a lot. they produce up to half of all earth's oxygen. the air you breathe is thanks to sun-eating stars made of glass. and that's pretty cool.

[crabussy]

and you know. like oblongs and triangles and some other bullshit

[a-glittering-universe]

thank you op, this post gave me such reality whiplash that I had to go read the wikipedia for diatoms and now I have Learned Things :D

One way to get tasks done in the day is to make yourself a Chekhov's List. Put all of the things you have to do on a list, and now that they've been revealed they'll need to be completed by the afternoon (third act) and when you've completed something you can Chekov that task from the list

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

[prokopetz]

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

[buggyhuman]

Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers

For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have

[woodsfae]

If you were taught to read with the three cueing method, and now struggle to read fluently, you can still learn to read properly!
