the brazil thing is so depressing because they did the right thing, man they did what we couldn’t, they actually prosecuted their coup and threw bolsonaro’s ass in jail and generally showed the united states what a functional state looks like and now they are gonna elect his dipshit son? really?

I've learned from @leafstranger.bsky.social that there are different types of garlic, so whenever I have a Wednesday off (and the buses are reliable), I'm gonna check out the garlic at the farmer's market!

making bitter orange peels jam

An illustration by Spindle of the characters Asimov, a half-elf woman with white hair peeling a bitter orange with a curved knife, while looking at the skewered orange peel her gf, Ottilie (a human with brown/orange hair), is showing to her.

Lore wise: Otti is a farm girl at heart, born and raised on one (Asi's a city gal), so this is one her fav ways to spend time with Asi, making her favourite home jam

I love fall so much. I've lived in Vermont my whole life and foliage season still seems like such a completely bonkers and beautiful thing to happen every year. It never gets old. 🍂

Photo of a pile of leaves on vibrant dark green moss. I collected lots of fallen leaves of different colors from different plants and trees and arranged them in an egg-shaped gradient going from green at the top to yellow and then orange and then red to darkest reds at the bottom.

may you be filled with the confidence and verve of this “corpulent rearing steed”

DIEGO RODRÍGUEZ DE SILVA Y VELAZQUEZ (1599-1660)
Caballo blanco
1634-1638
Oleo sobre lienzo
Este corpulento caballo con las manos alzadas en posición de corveta viene identificándose con el que aparece en el inventario de bienes que dejó Velázquez a su muerte en su estudio de la Casa del Tesoro, junto al Alcázar de Madrid. Está dibujado con la destreza y el estilo propios del pintor de cámara de Felipe IV, demostrando la gran capacidad del sevillano para conseguir una representación natural con una gran economía de medios técnicos. El acabado de la obra permite confirmar su terminación, a la espera de que se incluyera un jinete sobre la silla de montar, o quizá se trataba de un modelo para otros retratos ecuestres.
Hasta 1700 se documentó en el citado Alcázar, pero en fecha imprecisa desapareció de las Colecciones Reales, incorporándose de nuevo en 1848 por la compra de Isabel Il al marqués de Salamanca.
DIEGO RODRÍGUEZ DE SILVA Y VELAZQUEZ (1599-1660)
White Horse
1634-1638
Oil on canvas
This corpulent rearing steed with both forelegs off the ground has long been considered the one listed in the inventory of assets that Velázquez left in his studio at the Casa del Tesoro, a building beside the Alcazar in Madrid, after his death. It is drawn with the skill and style that characterised Philip IV's court painter, demonstrating his ability to produce a lifelike representation with a minimum of technical resources. It is clearly a finished work, pending the addition of a rider in the saddle, although it may have been intended as a model for other equestrian portraits. The picture is documented in the Alcazar until 1700, but at some point it disappeared from the Royal Collections and was not recovered until 1848, when Isabella II bought it from

Restorative justice also has huge limitations in the context of sexual violence. The perpetrator must confess. There cannot be a structural power disparity between victim and perpetrator. It is not safe for intimate partner violence. It is too time-intensive for victims with multiple perpetrators.

also: a reminder that restorative justice is definitionally within the control of the person who has been harmed and not ANYONE ELSE. it cannot be a route chosen for them, and they have full control over the process. otherwise it’s just sparkling mediation

The number of Platner deadenders who constantly make comments like this on Troy Jackson related posts on Reddit is driving me insane. Like what is this "passion" that's missing exactly? The parasocial relationship people built with the Nazi tattoo guy was and is ludicrous.

Honestly I've been pretty underwhelmed by Troy's campaign recently. All of his videos seem to start with him giving a kind of exasperated sigh before launching into a canned pitch. I'm not seeing his big messages communicated in a meaningful way. Granted, I don't watch TV much so I don't really see any of those ads. But what I'm seeing online has been a little flat of late.

Say what you will about Planter, and I'm not saying he shouldn't have dropped out, but he knew how to drive home his message at every opportunity and create genuine passion around a topic.
