The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

“RESIST, INSIST, PERSIST, ENLIST.” - HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
Like usual, life happens… too many things going on to post anything more than this. Please help me out by posting some links.
Absolutely outrageous. Come on ACLU-sue everybody. As for Mr. Rogers: Sir, thank you for your service!
I found that image above on Twitter. Now I can’t find the tweet it came from… the context was not what I wanted to convey. So I will take it down.
Who is that? It’s certainly a provoking image….lol.
No, leave it up! It’s Jill Biden doing a fabulous job of security for Joe.

Good analysis too I thought.
Warrior Woman Jill Biden just won my heart.
Ditto. She definitely has his back!
I’m sitting in the Vacavalley Surgery Center lobby. Hubby is having cataract surgery and I’m sure it will go well. However, it’s a bemusing experience since I am in the epicenter (though different building) of the first community acquired COVID-19 infection. Life goes on.
Wash your hands-I know you will.
Hope all goes well! I’m in the county with 10 deaths so far.
Hubby’s right eye operated upon and though the pupil is still dilated, his distance vision is remarkably improved. Yey! Take care of yourself, Luna.
Great! He should have even more improvement over the next few weeks. You take care too!
What about all the threats Trump’s made? Guess Roberts thinks those are all right.
sweet!!!!
Funding for healthcare research has been cut each year for about 25 years now, from what I’ve seen in the field and in academia. We should move to federal funding of important public-health research but I don’t see that happening soon.
Warren’s out.
yeah … I’m really sad about that … we’re back to two old white man and I have to vote for a man that made me so mad I ran for office
Sorry, i’m late to the game here. I had to finish grading midterms and prepare my lecture on swaps last night. I told my students that just when I think I’m going to talk about some disaster that happened in the past and it stays there that I think we’re about reading to see stuff unfold.
And then I read that Connie Schulz article and I cried because all of the things I’ve fought my life for are still with us …
I’m with Elizabeth and on this one from Connie Schulz and I cry for my daughters.
“At my age, every act of sexism and misogyny is an encore production.”
All three of us are in jobs nontraditional for women and all three of us still live the same shit in so many ways only know I’m an old woman and have that added burden.
Down to 2 old white men. Funny how this works. Don’t feel like saying much about it — too disappointing. I did come to prefer Amy over Elizabeth, and Kamala earlier, but any of them would have given me heart. Now the best we can hope for in Nov is for Biden to win. Seeing him in office when Hillary should be re-inaugurated will be hard. But at least we can get Trump out.
