finally getting around to hand-finishing off the remaining ones of these limited-edition happy peanut crows, so I don't have to do them as they get sold, feeling v proud of myself (but not as proud as the crows) #linoprint #artsky #crow shop.frankduffy.co.uk/product/joia... v grateful for shares!

Overheard in SF today: “…and if you had Starlink you could ask ChatGPT what is edible, and be able to survive.” Sure, bro, go around eating things ChatGPT recommends. Darwin awards need new entrants.

I just saw someone admonishing someone trans to shut up about trans rights because there are concentration camps in the US, and you know who I see overwhelmingly and disproportionately on the front lines standing up against concentration camps? Trans people.

There were tear-off tags at the bottom, but they’re all gone. Perhaps within minutes of posting. Seconds, even.

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚
A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss. 

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”

Panzer the Siamese and Sherman the orange and white tabby, four years ago to the day. Panzer is loafed in my lap. Sherman is cuddling a kickeroo toy. They are wee and eepy and innocent looking.

Picture purrfect
Figs the handsome black cat, Sherman the orange and white tabby, and Panzer the Siamese are arrayed across the foot of my bed. Figs on the left is flopped on his side facing away from the others. Sherman is loafed in the center looking toward Figs, and Panzer is sitting upright on the right looking toward the other two. They look like a feline bar chart. Each is on his own leopard print thermal mat on a teal and white ginkgo-pattered bedspread.

Where Figs?
A dining room interior photographed from floor level. There is a burgundy and gold patterned rug on a wide plank floor beneath a long dark teak dining table. In the background is a curved sidebar with a front of green wood tiles that sits beneath a collection of masks from Ghana that are hanging on a brick wall. On the rug, not quite under the table, are two cardboard boxes, one standing on its end and placed inside another, shorter box. Curiously, the larger box has eyes.

So I read the article: 1. This happened in 1965 (for context, Henrietta Lacks cells were taken in 1950) 2. There were 31 children apart of this unethical trial, of which almost all were low income and Black. 3. The families didn't find out until 2023 when a magazine investigated the RSV vaccine

Three cats are lounging in various states of inactivity upon a dining room table strewn with papers: Panzer the Siamese is crouched upon the unpaid bills in the foreground. Figs the handsome black cat sits upon the paid invoices in the middle with head averted, rather pointedly not looking at Sherman. Sherman the orange and white tabby, who is NOT the LEAST BIT jealous or insecure, glowers from the high ground (a stack of boxes) in the distance.
