No one told me about the moment in aunthood when your niece wants to share and listen to cool orchestra pieces you've each played. 🥹

I've been making tangible analog whimsy in a world of intangible digital chaos.

A woodcut print of a happy little frog under a leaf dripping in the rain.

A tiny fairy-sized hobbit door with three steps leading up to it, a tiny potted plant on one step, a window in the middle of the door, and surrounded by moss.

Crop art at the Minnesota State Fair! It is what it says it is - art made from various parts of crops, primarily seeds, lentils, and grains, occasionally leaves or flowers. For any non-Minnesotans viewing this, I'll start with mostly less political pieces. It's harder than you might think.

Untitled? by Jenny Lau
A red heart with radiating lines is in the upper half of the piece. In the middle are two loons, rising up out of the water to either fly or dance. The words "Forever - MN" appear in black at the bottom. The piece is edged in a wavy border. You can see from the seedlist that the inspiration was a Keith Haring drawing on a US "Forever stamp" where people instead of loons are dancing and holding up the heart.

Crops include white sorghum, red sorghum, french lentil, canola, wild rice, garlic skin, and millet. Any others have been cut off by the photographer's (my) carelessness.

Untitled? by Alice Hogan
In the center are two traditional portrayals of Vikings, with horned helmets. The left is a bearded man with a photo of Governor Tim Walz's face, and the right character is a female with long blond braids and a photo of Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan's face. She holds a scepter topped by what might be a stalk of wheatand stands next to some miniature ears of multi-colored corn. Below them are the words "WELCOME TO MINNESOTA" in blue and green. Behind the two Vikings are a lake or river with swans, a pink house I don't recognize, and a stylized version of the Minneapolis skyline with some of its landmark buildings such as the Foshay Tower and the IDS Center.

The seed list is partially hidden and partially too blurry to read due to the photographer's (my) inability to take good photos.

"Pac-MN" by Meredith Keller
This is a 3 dimensional piece in that the yellow frame of it is moved forward and shaped as if it's an arcade game. The screen has a black background. The words "MINNESOTA STATE FAIR 2026" are written in the Pac-Man font at the top left. the rest of the screen has a map of the fairgrounds making the path that Pac-Man can follow, complete with yellow trails. Some of the yellow trails have the street names spelled out on the seeds. The screen also has red and blue ghosts, but instead of the normal bonus icons we see a pickle, an ear of corn, some pronto pups, and a chocolate chip cookie - all popular foods at the MN State Fair.

The seedlist shows yellow painted mustard seed in a Pac-Man shape, and the rest of the seeds are lined up for Pac-Man to eat: red and blue painted mustard seed, black canola, white, yellow, and green millet, white navy bean, yellow soy bean, and yellow split pea.

This entry was awarded a blue ribbon for first place in its category.

"Minnesota Welcomes You" by Megan Bell
Paul Bunyan, in brown laced up boots, blue jeans, and a pink and ight blue checked shirt and cap, is neeling on the ground. He steadies an axe against the ground in his left hand, while his right hand is outstretched to the viewer. The grass is green, there are autumn colored trees in the background, and a multicolored swirly sky is above. The words "MINNESOTA WELCOMES YOU" are in the foreground.

This piece was made with amaranth, hulled barley, black beans, canola, flax seed, millet, rye berries, and wheatberry. Most of these were painted.

I met a chocolate lab today at the lake. He was playing fetch, and as he swam back to shore after fetching the ball, he kept veering over to me on my paddleboard to get a head pat before returning to his human. His name is Snickers, and he made my day.

Sometimes I just look at this guy and remember the shelter said no one had adopted him in 10 months because he's mean and attacks people and hates everyone. This beautiful little moose of a cat.

Hoover the brown and black cat is curled up in a little ball against my leg because he just loves being together.

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction:
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

On Tuesday, central and western WV were hit with devastating flooding. The roads have been badly damaged, and many communities are affected. There were also several tornadoes in the mid-Ohio valley. This area is isolated and poor, and they need help. I will post sites accepting donations in this 🧵.

Sometimes in life you just need to stop and yell in a basket on the sidewalk. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Alt text can (and in many cases SHOULD) be fun, but neglecting an actual description of the image as part of your creativity is like putting in a wheelchair ramp you can only get to by stair.
