The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.

Last RustWeek, jyn guided ~15 stakeholders through ~2h of *intense* technical discussion until we emerged with a workable solution for cross-crate rustdoc JSON. We've now made more progress in 6 months than in the prior 3 years. This is just one of many such cases in jyn's portfolio.

some icons are very similar to their original designs, and some really aren't. i tried to keep them all having a similar colour palette to keep them quickly recognizable, but played with the silhouette because apple making everything a ~rounded square~ sucks ass actually
comparison between notion's default icon and mine. mine is almost entirely different, is a ghostly letter N inside of a light bulb surrounded by some spooky mistcomparison between signal's default icon and mine. i keep signal's speech bubble surrounded by the dashed white border but i put it also in a comic panel and have a lil guy using it to say ACABcomparison between apple's activity monitor icon and mine. mine's mostly the same but the signal line is more like water electricitycomparison between apple's preview icon and mine. mine is a polaroid photo of apple's icon with a magnifying glass magnifying apple's magnifier

In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:
"There are three kinds of magic," said Wizzler, handing us each a balloon. "You can control tigers, you can shoot tornadoes from your fingers, or you can fly by holding your breath. The color of confetti inside your balloon will reveal which kind of power you have."
I felt the panic rising in me. What if my confetti turned yellow, indicating that I was a Tiger-Talker? My family, a long line of proud Tornado-Fingers, would disown me. Could I ever return home, bearing such shame?
I tried to calm myself as I readied the ceremonial safety pin. Green, I thought, willing my hopes into reality. Please be green. 
I popped the balloon, involuntarily shutting my eyes. When I opened them, would I see the green I hoped for? The yellow I feared? What if, gods forbid, the confetti were blue? 
I opened my eyes, seeing shock on the faces of my classmates. Wizzler himself stared at me, wide-eye. Looking down, I saw myself covered in confetti... purple confetti.“I don’t understand,” I growled, my body trembling with pain. “I combined eighty percent Earth-elemental mana with twenty percent Fire-elemental mana (Type B), focused through a twenty-four-sided icositetragon made of yellow topaz. This, in conjunction with my blood type, star sign, sense of humor, and nickname, should have produced a blazing column of lightning to vaporize my enemies. Instead, it made a big bubble that smells like fresh laundry. Why?”
Skullgrumbler began to laugh. “You fool! You don’t even realize…” he squealed. “You’re facing east!”“It’s whatever you want,” explained Magemaster Grampledog. “Magic is just whatever you want.”
I knew he was speaking in riddles, but I couldn’t grasp his hidden meaning. “So the rules are…”
Grampledog lit a sliver of smokereed. “No rules. You say some words and you wave a stick and whatever you want just happens. You don’t even need the stick.”
His wisdom still eluded me. I stared into his face, trying to decipher what he was really saying.
“No, listen.” Grampledog snapped his fingers and his desk turned into a pile of chicken nuggets. “I didn’t even know that would happen.” His hat then came alive and began to yodel. 
“It’s pandemonium,” he explained. “It’s complete nonsense.”

Why do treehoppers look so weird?! Our latest paper, out this week in @pnas.org, suggests a perhaps unexpected reason - static electricity ⚡ We show that treehoppers can detect the electrostatic cues of predators and that their crazy shapes may boost their electrosensitivity! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

I shared some of these photos from an old phone before, but I think enough time has passed to surface more of them. About a decade ago, I had reason to poke around the Illinois Institute of Technology's vacant Main Building before it was cleaned up for redevelopment, and found access to the roof.
A photo taken in early evening shows sunset tones over the peaks of a roof about five stories off the ground in the foreground, and a college campus comprised mostly of midcentury buildings spread out below it and a wider cityscape leading away towards a lake further away.

Two BIG wins in Motnana! We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents). I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.

In terms of the female bald Centauri, some of those were skull caps, and others weren't; we let it be known that we wanted to support women going through chemo or other treatments who had lost their hair by casting them here, money that could also help pay for medical bills.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed as a trans person right now. Being overwhelmed makes it easy to enter a freeze state or bootloop on bad news. I don't find comfort in telling myself it will be OK because I don't know that. I do find peace in owning each moment as it comes, doing or resting on purpose.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 5: the Creature of the Black Lagoon! A piece of movie fan art that I did for a spooky art challenge one year. Ink wash using watercolor markers and black ink for definition. One of the few times I managed to define an entire image with shading. I still like this one. :)
An ink wash and black pen drawing of a white woman’s feet and legs from mid-calf down; she has her toes pointed ballerina style in deep water, probably treading water.

From out of the dark water on the right, the webbed and scaly paw of the Creature of the Black Lagoon reaches toward her ankle, as if to claw her playfully or pull her under.
