Content warning: blood, serious head injury. A woman was run down and trampled and clubbed by LAPD officers on horseback. She appears to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head as an officer drags her limp body along the pavement.

Four LAPD officers on horseback surround a man laying on the ground, trample him, and beat him with their polycarbonate "saber" batons.

Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your Leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
-Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

Some sweet moments from this week: a presentation from @bradvetter.bsky.social, time spent in my studio, making bouquets from my front yard, and being in a creek with friends and snacks.

Letterpress printer and artist Brad Vetter is standing at a podium in front of a projector screen. The screen is orange uuwith white text that says “Freedome of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.”

A view looking through a doorway. There are handpainted signs, ladders, and stacks of materials visible.

A bouquet of cut flowers and herbs including roses, sage, lavender, bachelor’s buttons, peas and one flower I can’t name that looks kind of like a snapdragon.

People in kayaks in a creek. The person taking the photo is holding a bag of vegan jerky.

One quick and instant thing we could do to make #louisville more pedestrian friendly would be to change the crosswalk light functionality. Currently, you have to be waiting at the intersection with the button pressed BEFORE the light changes to get right-of-way. Why not have this be automatic?

Our bug out plan is to meet at Billy Bob’s where we will survive on pepperoni and jelly beans.

A person is walking into a building with a sign that says “Billy Bob’s Wonderland” near Huntington, West Virginia. The person’s mind is about to be blown.

The Rockafire Explosion band is performing to about four elated adults. Pictured are animatronic puppets of Dook, Fatz, Beach Bear and Mitzi. All were functioning!

Got to check out Don’t Tell Me You Care: A History of Louisville Music Through Flyers at Portal last night, a treat for anyone interested in community archives, xerox art, collage, punk etc. My favorite thing was all of the hand-drawn maps! Some could’ve been as small as 1” when printed.

Repurposing frames. Got this one for $1 from habitat, had to honor Trish Fagan who made this for a friend 31 years ago

Wooden frame with calligraphy that says “a friend hears the song in my heart…and sings it to me when my memory fails” with dried seed pods in the corner.

The paper on the back of the frame says:
“June 18, 1994.
39 years old.
From best friend, Trish Fagan
(Finally displayed August 11, 1994)”

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Enjoy me ruining photos of my work because I can’t figure out how to not be in the reflection!

POV: you show up to my show early to vibe with me and my dad.

Two people — facing away from each other — are making scrunched faces at the same without knowing it because they are related.

U.S. forces land on Greenland's coast, spearheaded by units of Cybertanks. they make it three quarters of a mile before the cold weather drains their batteries. crews find themselves trapped inside when the fully electronic doors default to locked. most of the 70th Armored regiment starves to death

Maxing out my space and woodworking abilities to complete two big projects by the middle of the month. I do love a challenge but it would be nice if they didn’t always bottleneck!

Three angels and one schlub in the tub! I am always amazed at the volume of garbage at the Falls of the Ohio.

Three people exploring the grody innards of an abandoned hot tub, right along the edge of the Ohio River. The center of the hot tub has a block of ice filling it, and there are soggy leaves on the seats. The people are not bothered.

For no particular reason I’m posting these bumper stickers that I sell. 100% of the money gets donated to mutual aid projects and they raised over $900 last year.

Looking for affirmations and distractions everywhere. Sister Corita Kent’s legacy is a masterclass in steeling yourself for the work ahead, or using your work to stabilize you.

Hey! I’m here! IF YOU EVEN CARE.

Blue and pink sign leaned against a pink wall. The entire sign is not in frame, but the part that’s visible says “ painting”.
