We read Romans 12:9-21 the Sunday after she died. “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.” “Practice hospitality.“ “Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.” “Live in harmony with one another.” “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” 1/2

It was already a double album *and* an EP. Unless your name was George Harrison nobody was getting away with a three-disk package.

Did somebody say spherical cow? (Why yes, I am a physicist, why do you ask?)
A spherical cow, sitting on a shelf.  It’s a stuffed animal, and very cute.

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

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.

Per the alt-text, the sign on the door in the last panel reads "Boss." Basically, everyone is on vacation and Jucika is filling in for all of them.

I played in a D&D campaign where we discovered the moon was haunted and BOTCHED the exorcism. Boy, that came around to bite us in the butt. (It was also infested with mind flayers but that wasn’t our fault.)

At lunch that day the rest of us plotted how to murder him so he wouldn't throw the curve off for the final. We settled on dipping him in gasoline, setting him on fire, and dropping him into a gorge. Fortunately, it didn't come to that. 3/3

Reminds me of one of my undergraduate physics classes. Professor hands out an answer key to the midterm; there's a little distribution of grades down in the corner. Nice little bell curve, peak somewhere in the 40s, one little spike at 80. 1/x
