Almost every day I see random things that I feel compelled to take a picture of. It's the same compulsion that makes me draw. #photography #light #art

(Via MeFi) Check this fantastic blog post about Tuscan letters (1 of 2) It really opened my eyes to the history, evolution, breadth of motif variation, the relation to more traditional typography... Saving this for my lettring & typography class next term […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

The Victorian fervor for decorative lettering, and Tuscan lettering in particular, spread to colonized territories, including the far West. Nowadays’s ticket office at the circus museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Photo courtesy of Darla Dee Hagensick.

Another very interesting data visualization - I think the best visualizations are where emergent properties become clear - even though this only shows data across one vector, the comparison of national debt vs global share is a very interesting one showing which […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

I find it interesting that the Canadian mainstream news like CBC, CTV, etc. keep reporting on the petition to remove Pete Hoekstra as US Ambassador to Canada & declare him 'persona non grata' but do not link to the actual petition - which is still open for […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

CBC:
Tens of thousands of Canadians have signed a petition calling for U.S. President Donald Trump's representative in Ottawa to be kicked out of the country.

The online petition, which is set to be presented in the House of Commons in the fall, says Pete Hoekstra should be declared persona non grata and the Canadian government should request his removal as U.S. ambassador to Canada.

Nearly 60,000 people had signed the petition as of Wednesday morning, almost double the number of signatures 24 hours earlier.

It is my headcanon that the 1970s Schneider's 'Dutch Girl' (Kitchener Ontario) and the 1976 Kentucky Fried Chicken Colonel Sanders (Mississauga Ontario) are a ship. I am holding out for "original recipe" Kentucky Fried Knackwurst. #branding #design #logo

Another reason you can't always trust auto-translate: This headline from Radio-Canada about local archaeology should translate as "pipes by the bucketload" but some translators give "blowjobs galore" ... which is to be fair is also idiomatically correct #translation #french

[eldritch horror] Look what I met today! 3 feet long, in my yard! It spoke with a pleasing human voice! Just kidding, it's a pupal cicada that fell off of a tree onto the sidewalk in front of my house, about 2 inches long. Pretty cthulthonic looking anyways, I […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

It's in the heat that you realize cats are originally desert creatures despite all that fur. Relaxed, sunbathing, sleepy, and unbothered in direct sun, 32°. #cats #heatwave

Ever wonder what happens to orchids at a flower shop when they are past bloom? They usually die. Orchids are shipped commercially in sphagnum moss instead of growing medium. Their roots dry out if outside the pot, or rot inside it. I got this one for 3 bucks(!) […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

I love Montreal, I really do. Painting over potholes is just how we roll. #urbanism #Montreal

NW Corner of Bernard and Park, southbound lane. A pothole through the entire road surface and adjacent crosswalk has had new crosswalk stripes painted over the hole, loose cobblestones, and asphalt.

Is Foetus goth? Maybe deathrock? Batcave? Nyoodle (the nice cat) thinks so. Anyway I found a bunch at the local used record store and I'm super happy about it, so happy World Goth Day.

Today is Lag Ba'Omer and I live in a Hassidic neighbourhood; there is a massive block party and the Hebrew house music is cranked wayyyy up. If I can't sleep I might as well make stuff. #art #abstract

abstract art made in Adobe Illustrator, no AI.

What even? I don't know, just some abstract intersecting circles smoothed out and rendered as brushed metal on a photo of lilac wood I took.
