It's decorative gourd season, motherf*ckers. (Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Autumn, 1573, Musée du Louvre)
A work by Arcimboldo, who, being a complete and wonderful weirdo with the patronage of Holy Roman Emperors, spent his time painting absolutely nutso “portrait busts” of abstract concepts including seasons, archetypes, and elements. This one is Autumn made up of autumnal fruits, foliage, and, of course, gourds.

Did I remind all of you in NYC to make sure to take yourselves and your children to see "He Built This City" at the Museum of the City of New York yet? The exhibit closes October 12: www.mcny.org/exhibition/h... - I cannot say enough about this exhibit and I think that you will be amazed. GO!

I accidentally proposed a play date for my 4-y/o at the Game Over Gala for the AADL’s Summer Game, and the dad I was with took note that multiple people complimented my shirt in the few minutes before we bailed to a quieter location. So: impress your Dad Friends! Buy War on Cars merch!

Outside Oak Lawn’s combo town hall/police HQ, community members are once again protesting a village they have repeatedly described as racist, especially against Arab-Americans.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

82 years ago today my grandfather, who lied about his age to enlist in the military, was in one of the first waves of landing crafts to hit the beaches of Normandy. He's been gone a long time now, but today I remember him and the other brave souls who fought and died for a righteous cause.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
