You might enjoy a book... I really enjoyed it!

Just finished Mike Myers Canada on audiobook! I can't fix my own terrible country (the US has broken my heart), but I can work to better understand the history of Canada! And I saw Wayne's World for the first time! Excellent!

@taylorswifteras.bsky.social I know this is random. But I wish Taylor would do an album where every song is inspired by a piece of art. Like this one... The world is full of beautiful art and it amplifies when it's shared.

Listening to a great book on Canada! I can't fix the world, but I can do Canada the courtesy of learning about it. Plus, Mike Myers is excellent!

Cover of book featuring Mike Myers and two mounties. Says Canada on it.

My poor, sad magnolia tree has put out one flower!

One magnolia flower, with two beetles on it. The flower is a glowing white and the beetles are iridescent.

I absolutely love this art! But I'm struggling with finding the name of the artist. I believe it was first published in an article of the New York Times... Can any art people tell me how to figure out the artist?

Today I went on a three mile trail to find joy. #warcoffee Because preserving yourself to keep going is revolutionary.

The response to petty men pinning tiny medals to each other, while threatening real American heroes! Ugh!

@lauren-oujiri.bsky.social I thought you might like to see an example. We buy stuff we can afford and then get them framed professionally. It makes them feel fancy. Also, I suppose these might be expressionist not surrealist? Not sure. They make me happy.

Two surrealist or expressionist landscapes by Justin Lightner. One is a bright sky over a meadow and one is a stormy sky over farmland.

I thought you might like to see some of the art I buy. The hubby and I like moody art, which we get fancy framed!

In all the news out there, it's almost been lost that there's a potential cure for diabetes coming out! Just something worth celebrating!

Fungus? Mold? Vandalism with an orange powder? Guesses welcome. North Carolina, Piedmont. The tree died a few years ago and fell in early 2024.

The college class I never expected to reference as much as I do! Who knew that studying the original organized crime world would pay dividends today? For reference, lots of pirates were partially bankrolled by nations, to attack each other without getting the blame.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social Here's my Common Elephant's Foot. It's supposedly invasive, but it's just warring with some Periwinkle, so I'm not focusing that way right now.

My Victory Garden! The last year has been so tough, but I find joy here. Marigolds, onions, corn,radishes, sun flowers, jalapenos, tomatoes, beans, tomatillos, beans, a hyssop (maybe). The marigolds are likely moving soon.

Four foot square garden with many plants and bird netting.

My own little Victory Garden!

Durham NC, 3,000 people. (This isn't the main square, it's the overflow because the square was very crowded.)

Just a happy plant, thriving where no other hellabore wants to be.

A blooming, white and green hellabore. It's currently in shade, but enjoys lots of sun for most of the day. That's weird for the typically shade loving plant.

Here's the vocabulary wheel that lots of men are offered when they start therapy. Just know that a ton of women are "here for it" for men gaining communication skills. (Though keep in mind, it's not every woman, a few of them need a wheel, too.)

This is funny for an unusual reason. Let me explain. The graph is off center in a way that isn't showing the violent drop from the beginning of the day. The information is correct, except the LINE is lying. This is classic "lying with data".

Tesla stock plummets. But graph is hiding the part of the line with the drop.

Two weeks ago, I got to see a great Banksky exhibit. Protest art is amazing.

Elon is a Desk Murderer. Whether the plane crashes, the lost money to farmers, or the stoppage of TB drug delivery world-wide. His chaos has, predictably, killed people.

I got to see new art being made today!

Sometimes I just remind myself that justice might be slow, but we DO really hate Nazis.

Just trying to chill out today. I've been over clocking my brain with worry. So maybe a cat photo will help?

Little cat in cat bed. Larger cat working to join in. Larger cat seems to be contemplating something.

I watched Civic Sundays do a lecture on meme creation yesterday. We really have to think about the opposition as people who can barely read. I mean... Why else aren't we freaking out more? (It's in the caption)

Fox News casual posts "Europe plots to stop Trump taking Greenland" like it's just a serving of chicken at Thanksgiving, not possible war
