Nobody's Fool 🧵🦋☀️ #art
a digital drawing of Dolly Parton as the tarot card "the fool", based on the song Dumb Blonde. Instead of blithely walking toward the edge of the cliff, she walks away from it, her little dog Crackerjack at her feet. She holds a multi-colored bindle over her shoulder, with a spook of thread poking out, leading to the needle held aloft in her hand. She wears a purple-blue jumpsuit with a sheer neckline and voluminous sleeves. The whole suit is bedazzled and there is a scene of Icarus falling from the heavens into the sea on her lower half. The border is pink, with a repeating pattern of butterflies, sparkly crying eyes, rhinestones, hands with crossed fingers, flowers, broken hearts, and pocket watches.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

Two guards stand before a gate. They tell a peasant, "One of us always lies! One of us tells the truth!" Guard 2 says, "You have three questions." Peasant says, "Oh, okay... can a fish fart?" Guards look confused. One, "Er, just a minute." The guards huddle together. One says, "I mean, do you know if they can fart?" The other says, "Tell you what. One of us says yes, one of us says no. That way we're covered." Guard 1 says, "I guess?" They turn back to the gate to see the peasant disappearing through it.

Nuthatch. An older comic.
A four-panel comic. The first panel shows an arrow pointing down at a happy-looking nuthatch bird, and a caption: This is a nuthatch. The caption says "It's called a nuthatch because... wait no" and we see the nuthatch standing on a pile of nuts, tucking them under it. The caption says "That's not... wait" and the nuthatch is roosting comfortably on the pile of nuts. The caption says NO. And we see that one of the nuts has hatched and some walnut meat is flying happily into the air on little wings.

I told you this place is always crowded, we should’ve called for a reservation 😩
A lit-up vintage vending machine at night behind a cinderblock building at the edge of a foggy pine forest. A raccoon is crawling into the vending machine slot, reaching for a baby oppossum that’s nestled itself between the snack rows and hisses at the rescue attempt. The oppossum parent watches from atop the vending machine, accompanied by a squirrel. On the ground, a fox hungrily watches rats gathered under the vending machine.

Here’s a link to the full statement from the Archbishop of Canterbury ⚓️: www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/news/archbis...
“I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace.

“As innocent people are killed and displaced, families torn apart, and futures destroyed, the human cost of war is incalculable. It is the calling of every Christian - and of all people of faith and goodwill - to work and pray for peace. We must also urge all those entrusted with political authority to pursue every possible peaceful and just means of resolving conflict.”

The Most Reverend Dame Sarah Mullally
Archbishop of Canterbury
