Photo of Appa, the flying sky bison from "Avatar: The Last Airbender", rendered in the medium of cabbage with two horns poking out. He has non-cabbage horns, an olive for a nose and two black dots for eyes, and the arrow in his head is made of a darker cabbage leaf. He's standing on a cutting board.

We are beautiful and powerful

A sign stapled to a telephone pole. The white paper has the words “We are beautiful and powerful” in pink and blue text with the blue in the forefront and the pink offset to the bottom left.
I started a new SHK to post all the photos I’ve taken of art around Minneapolis without spamming them.

Today's sea exploration
alt text
This morning I visited what our class calls "the blocks" which is the breakwater at Mar Bella beach (Barcelona). This area is stacked with these giant cement blocks. This was a few minutes after sunrise. Probably may favorite image of this series of explorations so far.
Sony A7iii, 85mm at f16, 4s exposure, 100 iso, circular polarizer and I'm pretty sure a variable ND filter cutting some light for the slow shutter.

Me and a made up person excited about coffee
Me and my older child, Flora, in their masc drag persona, Dragon Thistle, after performing a routine to Venus in Furs and tearing the roof off the place. We're selling coffee for an international rights group.
So proud of them.

Dinner

A pan of food
Andouille, Kielbasa, and Escarole. Onions, garlic, hatch chile, and vermouth. No added oils or seasoning. A recipe I came up with years ago that is always tasty.
This time I added leftover bacon. I know, leftover bacon can exist.
That reminds me of a post on a gardening post on a USENET channel I hung out on way back in the 90s. A Korean apologized for his command of English and described how he used leftover beer to kill slugs. The first response was from an Australian who said something like "Your English is just fine, but I have no idea what 'leftover beer' is"

I call bullshit on this concept of "leftover bacon"

and it was almost as stressful as watching the show. It was then that Niblet carried me in the final stage.
That looks fantastic!
@B6FA798A3449 it weighed like seven pounds and took two days to make but I've already forgotten the birthing pains and will absolutely make it again

The cast of Rent! on stage at the historic Ellen Theatre.
Attended an outstanding performance of Rent! this afternoon. Absolutely beautiful, moving, and wonderful.
Hope it was better the the production I saw that was set in Sweethaven, Renk!
Fortunately this one was the real deal, @y95. And it brought tears to my eyes.
what a handsome theater!

A middle aged man in big spectacles and a black and white oversized jumper, holding a glass of white wine. To the back left is a mirror, and back right an old poster of Mao Tse-Tung.
A friend of mine was messaging me yesterday, having been in Berlin for a couple of weeks he told me "I'm flying home to darkest Peru today".
"What time is your flight?" I asked.
"I'm on the plane now, Air France and on my seventh glass of Chablis".
I don't know anyone that buys airline WiFi so I told him to send me a photo and this was my response.
Just before I made jambalaya. Plus on Thursday I got offered a new contract.
Salud.

Marb and Ack?
alt text
A ‘Slow, children crossing’ sign on a telephone pole. The sign is mostly yellow with some black. The top is black with the word ‘SLOW’ in yellow letters. Below that is a black silhouette on yellow background of two children holding hands and running. Below them are the words ‘CHILDREN CROSSING’ in black, with each word on its own line.
Written in white on the two children are ‘MARB’ on the left child and ‘ACK?’ In the right.

Marb and Ack? are two common taggers in Minneapolis.

"the hobbit", d. jules bass & arthur rankin, 1977
alt text
still from the 1977 rankin-bass animated film adaptation of "the hobbit". in the frame, a mostly barren tree stands in the foreground as 14 small figures (the 13 dwarves and titular hobbit) and their two pack animals pass in single file. behind them clouds billow across a blue sky
people can hate on it all they want; it was a staple of my childhood and i still love it. the art style alone takes up so much space in my addled little brain. (not to mention those wild-assed songs, which i found myself somehow singing along to as i rewatched today)
there's a version on internet archive that attempts to restore the original broadcast audio with video from the last DVD release. it loses sync at a few spots, but is otherwise enjoyable:

EDIT: there also seems to be a second video+audio fix on the internet archive, available here:

I still get “where there’s a whip (snap!), there’s a way” popping up in my head occasionally.
Total foundational childhood memory. Let them hate. :)

Been a while. I meant to do at least one a day this year. But it’s been a hell of year so far.
This would be a great stand-alone website
Terrible people. Really great illustrations!
I love this series so much. Thank you for subjecting yourself to such idiocy because this is art.
