This is my middle child Tosca. She's running for city council in Pine Island, Minnesota. I'm pretty stoked.

What model CRKT is that?
@LocalStain I looked through my email for a receipt to no luck.
I love it though and hope to never have to replace it. It replaced a good, but not quite as, that I forfeited to event security.
I got this one through a later event security metal detector through my only ever real-life sleight of hand trick. So it is even more cherished.

@LocalStain @artwells CRKT Pilar looks like a close match
that ordinary was the miracle
So a funny thing happened...

A white wall covered in framed photographs. There is a narrow counter-height table in front of the wall with a line of stools under it.
Ten days ago, I got an email out of the blue from the marketing director of a local brewery asking if I'd be interested in having an exhibit there. After confirming it wasn't an elaborate phishing attempt, I asked when the space would be available - July 21! So I had a little over a week to put together an art show.
After a mad dash to print some stuff and frame even more pieces, I hung everything today. "We Have Fun Here" is a collection of images around recreation, specifically focused on the Boston area. It'll be hanging at Aeronaut Brewery in Somerville for the next 6 weeks or so.

I also love the idea of sitting at a bar and instead of watching screens...you're looking at art!

Very cool!

Color illustration of a stylized, smiling figure with a tunnel through their torso. A cherry-red river flows through the tunnel, bearing along several smaller stylized figures in little floating tubs, displaying varying emotional states. The figures are Simpsons yellow against a starry blue background.
There is large text which reads, "TREAT EMOTIONS LIKE VISITORS, WHO ARE JUST PASSING THROUGH!"

Same vibe as Pendleton Ward’s Midnight Gospel.
This actually reminds me of my favorite Rumi missive called The Guest House. I actually bought a carving of it a few weeks ago. I can see how it could sound facile but the way Rumi says it is reassuring, to me anyway.
"This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond."

Concorde @ Tullamarine
alt text
The Concorde at Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne Australia9th August 1975. It had just done a 3 hour 37 minute flight from Singapore (7 hours 50 minutes normal flight time today).
The Concorde only ever came to Australia on 3 or so occasions for promotional visits. They lacked the fuel capacity to make the extreme long-haul distance non-stop without numerous refueling stops.

The Concorde was one of those 20th century things that looked really cool, held the promise of an amazing future, and in hindsight was actually pretty worthless and astonishingly wasteful.
@ardgedee sure... but sexy

Three picture of roasted tomatoes, peppers and tomatillos.
The plan is to make some instapot chuck roast birria with the tomatoes, and to make a salsa with the peppers and tomatillos, but I'll likely freeze most of the peppers for another day because using all of them with this quantity of tomatillos would make this a green murder salsa.
I used to play bass in Green Murder Salsa.
Now I’m hungry!

Very minimalist, midtone, excellent. oil painting of a long beach.
Every time I scroll past this I’m struck by how effectively the paint is used. Those waves are outstanding.
One thing I love about art is you’ll have someone who uses meticulously curated animal hairs to make the finest most realistic images you’ve seen. And then someone else can take a palette knife and make something like this. And both are incredible and make my brain feel deceived in ways that seem implausible.

That's an amazing piece of work.
They put a lot of effort into making a stereo cabinet that looks like a scrotum.

The Irish don't have a name for the Smurfs because they know better than to invoke the names of the Fae.

chart

Photo of a page from the July issue of In These Times, depicting a six-panel comic from Haus of Decline.
Panel 1: A woman standing and smiling in front of a chart. THE ADVENTURES OF BLOODLESS QUANT
Panel 2: Another woman pleads to Bloodless Quant: "Bloodless Quant, please help! I can't afford to feed my family!"
Panel 3: BQ replies, "That's ludicrous. The stock market is at an all-time high"
Panel 4: The woman says "But groceries are..." but BQ cheerfully interjects, "You shouldn't make statements if you don't have economic literacy!"
Panel 5: BQ holds up a chart with a line rocketing upward, saying "Here's a chart explaining why your fears are unfounded"
Panel 6: A boy asks the woman, "What are we having for dinner tonight?" The woman dejectedly stirs a pot with the chart in it. "Chart," she replies.

I continue to die on the very petty hill that Sauron isn’t obsessed with the palantíri, and Saruman isn’t a deity. Even if you argue Maiar count, Gandalf is the firewielder in that grouping.

Middle-aged woman in T-shirt that says WTFWJ
I made this shirt to wear to evangelical family reunions, back before I went no contact. Every time I wear it people ask where I got it so I decided to sell them, with 10% going towards Prevent Child Abuse America (since evangelical culture contributes to so much child abuse). In my personal experience you will piss off the right people and start good conversations with the right people while wearing this. Good trouble!

Pick and Roast

A series of three pictures. The top picture shows just-picked tomatoes. The middle picture shows two kinds of peppers, Jalapeño and Serrano, three tomatoes with their stems cut out, and a couple dozen small tomatillos. The third picture shows the same items, but after roasting with lots of char showing on the peppers.
