Random dream occupations of youth poll!

When it was the first time you seriously considered what kind of field, career or job you'd be going into, and getting education, experience, tools or other qualifications for...
Was it whatever you're currently in?

The boys, Shelf Edition.
I adopted them as teenagers from a family who had to let them go, thinking "Surely three cats is not much more than two cats?" and was not prepared for these cats specifically. 😂
They have the energy of four kittens and regrettably the intelligence but not the wisdom of a two year old human child.

The twins, Pörri & Musti, are 6 months younger than Karvinen, who is unrelated.

#cats

A high quality photo of a brown and white tabby cat, Pörri, with luminous green eyes and a pink nose with a bit of black. He is looking to his left inquisitively, resting on a lacquered pine bookshelf devoid of anything else. He has a white face, paws, neck and stomach but has a tabby pattern on his head that looks like he's wearing a little wrestler helmet. His whiskers are long and white.

Another photo, flooded with ambient light that makes the mostly black fur of the tuxedo cat, Musti, resting on the same bookshelf look like sumptuous shiny velvet, thick and deep. He has bright yellow green eyes that are wide open and focused on something in the distance. He has a little white cravat, white socks and white whiskers, and a little bit of white on his chin. He has a few white forehead whiskers, which look a little bit like silly eyebrows.

The third cat, Karvinen, is a ginger tabby and he is lounging on the top shelf, pictured from below, with his back feet and tail spilling over its edges. His face is round and squished over the edge of the shelf. He has orange green yellow eyes, black freckles on his pink nose and graceful white whiskers. He looks completely at ease despite being high enough to reach to touch the ceiling.

Plant photography thread!

These are a bit older. I used to visit local botanical gardens with a camera in tow and admire all the tiny details. I tried to take photos with emphasis on color, shape and mood while just enjoying a stroll.

A moody, dark blue and green photograph of dark green leaves with a bright lime green to yellow edges.

A vibrant, dramatic photo of the leaves of a multicolored plant, with red and yellow coursing through the green, backlit by soft green light.

A soft, calm photo in shades of blue and green, of a conifer branch with needles streaming down like individual feathers.

A somewhat rambling #introduction I guess:

Hi, I'm Sini Tuulia from sort of Northern Finland. I'm deeply into a million different things (undiagnosed #ADHD) but I mostly post about my traditional media art, sewing (both costume and everyday) and cats. I'm gray asexual, gay, vegan, chronically ill and disabled.

I have a partial degree in #dressmaking & #tailoring, a media studies degree with emphasis on #photography and years of hobbyist passion for anthropology, biology, biodiversity, conservation, engineering, history, historical fashion, languages, literature, sci-fi, space, sustainability... And like 20 more.
I love green things, vast things, things of the deep, things with fur, feather or scales, and the morbidly beautiful and cute. Run on sentences. Oxford commas. Postcards, fountain pens and letter writing. Trains.

I love people, too. Feel free to just say hi!

In addition to all the sewing, historical dress and cat photos, I also do occasionally paint and sketch in #watercolor, #gouache and #ink

I have years worth of them on the birdsite (same name, different handle) but I thought I might attempt to post some of them here, too. 🧵

Starting off with this one from 2020. Ink, watercolor, gouache.

A traditional media painting mainly in the hues of green, depicting a mossy green, gentle looking primate and two of her curious young peeking over moss and flower covered rib bones. The vibe is lush and peaceful.
