#ArtSky I thought I had lost my beloved Sucrets tin of paints when I went to the visitation for my brother-in-law, who died suddenly this past January. Just found them 2 nights ago. If you think they look cool, link to the Indigenous paint company that makes them is in 🧵

A metal Sucrets tin is open, displaying 12 paintstones from Beam Paints, small dry dollops of pigment wrapped in beeswaxed cotton fabric, and varying from a mica based silver to a deep purple with a rainbow of colors in between.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Been having tummy trouble, & like delicious preventative food medicine, so going back to a book that shaped me: Dr Miller’s THE JUNGLE EFFECT. Pub 2009 so still worried abt fats, but otherwise strong science, respect for each patient & culture, & care for all.

People designed genAI so it always replicates our existing injustices. To take an already underrepresented group & just replace them w/ chatbots trained on centuries of anti-Indigenous writing, esp when reporting immediately affects their communities, is revolting. There MUST be real consequences.

Honestly, it was scary to think about being named. As I sat with the opportunity more, I thought that there aren’t a ton of moments to act and set up a better future for science. We’ve all been through a lot. Even though I’m at a vulnerable stage of my career, I also have relative privilege…

Pausing doomscrolling to read Gerard Manley Hopkins has been found to decrease heart rate and increase life expectancy by 15-20 years

As Kingfishers Catch Fire
By Gerard Manley Hopkins

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves — goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying Whát I dó is me: for that I came.

I say móre: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: thát keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is —
Chríst — for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.

Happy Labor Day! As has become tradition, I would like to bring back this cover of ALL-STORY LOVE STORIES (September 21, 1935). Artist probably Mary Frances Morgan. ❤️‍🔥 #pulp #romance #romancelandia

A white woman in a pink trench coat looks directly at the viewer and holds a sign around her neck that says, "ON STRIKE — THIS COMPANY UNFAIR TO GIRLS of [rest unreadable]." A white man stands behind her in a beige trench coat, holding an unopened umbrella, looking at her in what I'm hoping/assuming is admiration. The whole scene is rainy.

Today’s lesson from the garden: be good to your neighbors. You’re going to need their help if you lose your own crop. So close to harvest, one rum bastard of a critter got to most of ‘em last night. Presence of dog during the day not enough. I’m pretty bummed.
