The Kimono Gallery @roger1952.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

This kimono features an all-over kiredori (overlapping scraps) pattern rendered in a sophisticated palette of deep purples, rich burgundy, navy blue, golden yellow, and taupe, creating a dynamic mosaic effect that suggests both broken pottery and stained glass windows. 1926-1940, Japan

The silkscreened faux-shibori technique demonstrates the innovative adaptation of traditional resist-dyeing methods through mechanical reproduction, allowing for precise geometric forms that would be impossible to achieve through conventional hand-tied shibori processes.

The artistic approach strongly evokes the geometric abstraction and color field experiments of European modernist movements, particularly echoing the fragmented forms of Cubism and the bold color relationships explored in Fauvism and German Expressionism. This cross-cultural dialogue was characteristic of the Taishō and early Shōwa periods, when Japanese artists and designers were actively synthesizing Western modernist principles with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The kiredori motif itself carries symbolic resonance, suggesting the beauty found in fragments and the creative potential of reconstruction—themes particularly relevant during a period of rapid social and cultural transformation. The overall effect creates a sense of movement and energy that transforms the kimono into a wearable work of abstract art.

YT-ers performatively holding clip on mics has become an annoyance for many, but I've just seen a YT video where the prresenter was not only holding their tiny mic in their hands instead of clipping it on, but they'd attached it to a stick, so ... just like holding a microphone!

so all the daylight saving boosters are going to be all about how great it is to have long balmy evenings to be active after work and how sophisticated they are when all it really is is doing everything for the man an hour earlier. you can do that yourself without roping me in.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

1. It's not a war. Little actual fighting was involved, as evidenced by the low IDF casualties. 2. It's not 'mere' carpet bombing. Much of the destruction was by deliberate, hand-placed demolition charges. 3. It's also clearly population displacement, probably genocide. A court will decide.

You've read in the past few days about the UN now using the Equal Earth projection to provide a fairer view of the world. That's cool but leads to practical challenges. Some places (Japan, Australia, New Zealand) have their rather iconic shapes altered dramatically by that projection.

From the same piece, written a week ago:

- When climate activists block a highway or throw something at a painting in the UK, the country is treated to 500 articles about whether this particular type of protest is the most operationally, tactically, and strategically optimal method of securing long-term policy change on environmental issues.

- When Bazza and the Restraining Order Lads attempt to burn asylum seekers and immigrants alive inside their accommodation, every article spends throat clearing paragraphs noting that of course they’re driven by serious and valid concerns about immigration (and not as basic observation would suggest, serious and valid amounts of cocaine).

Nigel Farage has been in politics for almost thirty years. The media turning against him has been SO LONG OVERDUE, the idea that he's always been an outsider everyman vilified by the press but adored by the people is hot dog eggs. He's been giving a remarkably easy ride until the past few months.
