Malignant.

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and surgery is coming soon. Season 2 of the podcast is delayed and I will not be teaching until fall. This western grebe, painted in QoR watercolors with Pentel Aquash pens, reminds me that even on water that feels unsteady, we can still rise.

@Mikehendley You give such beauty to the Micro.blog timeline. May art and science melt that damn cancer and return you to good health soon.

@Mikehendley shit, I’m very sorry to hear that. Best of luck, we’re pulling for you. I always enjoy seeing your wonderful sketches on the timeline.

@Mikehendley So sorry to hear it. Thank you for sharing such beautiful art with us. We’ll be thinking of you.

@Mikehendley beautiful image, and good words. As one cancer survivor to another: I am wishing you all good things, and holding you in the light. Rise.

@Mikehendley So sorry to hear this. Sending hopes for strength, good care, and healing your way.

@Mikehendley beautiful grebe. All the very best.

@Mikehendley Good luck with the surgery and recovery.

@Mikehendley really sorry to hear that. All the best throughout the recovery process - we’re all in your corner.
