!NEW SHK ALERT! : "Cats I Have Known"
alt text
photo of a grey cat sitting in a cardboard box, looking grumpy
why? because i love taking pictures of cats, and i love people showing me the cats they hang out with, live with, or spot being weirdos in the wild.
if you catch a shot of a local cheese goblin, window spy, or porch weirdo, this is the place to show it off. (pls no memes or other people's photos, though.)
pls join me if you're the same kind of weirdo as me:

this cat: "thisbe", who lived with me in four or five different places between 2009 and 2017. violent little warrior princess
this be the verse
My new duplex neighbor has a very handsome cat that likes to perch in the windows (and a small and rather anxious gremlin-mutt). I'll see if I can't snag a good picture of him.
I've made a huge mistake

I love erasers, and I have too many, because I hate using them. "I'm caught in a trap, I can't walk out"
Have made many a race car out of Pink Pearls erasers and spent many hours racing it around various made up tracks doodled on desktops snd notebooks to crowd noises and hyped announcers echoing within my own skull.

What if I put all of the materials from one project into a shoebox and stick it in my closet and forget it exists for years and years, am I good?

Snowclone of the popular "distracted boyfriend" meme in which the jealous girlfriend's head is replaced by Klek from Angine de Poitrine, and the head of the woman the boyfriend is staring at has been replaced by one of the cryptically labeled Boards of Canada VHS tapes.
Only April and it's already a bumper year for middle-aged men who've spent their whole lives being annoying about music.
All that's missing is another MBV EP.

ok for anyone else who has no clue: "In April 2026, electronic music duo Boards of Canada sparked comeback rumors by mailing mysterious, unlabeled VHS tapes to fans. The tapes, often sent via Warp Records/Bleep, feature a logo with seven tessellated hexagons and contain cryptic audio with shortwave-style voices, potentially indicating new music, a reissue campaign, or a "Hexagon Sun" project."

My favorite frame from today's shoot. This is Nico. Nico saw me photographing my kids at the skatepark back in August or September and approached me asking if I'd like to do some photos together. We shot a few frames in that park and I took his portrait. Really warm, kind human.
A couple of months later I reached out and asked if he'd be interested in doing some portraiture for one of my classes. He immediately agreed. We did some wild light painting and acrobatic stuff (he used to do Capoeira). It was a really fun shoot and we agreed to do more in the future.
Jump to about a week ago. I was talking to my team about maybe getting in touch with him for a shoot on the coast for our project. The very next day he reaches out to let me know he's back from Argentina. It's either a universe thing or he's the life force behind targeted ads.
Today's shoot was so much fun. We emulated some iconic shots from J. Grant Brittain and played around on these breakwater blocks. He's not fearless but close to it. Very balletic, yoga-etic, punketic, etc etc.
Among many talents, he's a tattoo artist as well. I plan to work with him on a piece soon.

that's awesome, and a great connection you made. nice when the good ones just pop up in the wild.
this is a really lovely pic; the composition is exquisite, and i especially love that you resisted the urge to directly center him. really beautiful color palette too. that gentle gradient from the sky down to the sea is *chef's kiss*
unsolicited advice from someone who is obviously not as good a photographer as you, but part of me would want to either push the shadows deeper so he's a bit more of a silhouette, or blow out the shadows a bit so we can see the detail of his tats and musculature.

adding to the love: the angles you chose to include in frame with the concrete barriers are just fascinating. contrasting him against this sea of angry triangles that the concrete barricades make up is such a cool concept
@nikkuneko thank you so much! I agree about the shadows. Iโm going to tweak that a bit.
She's so pretty <3

During the height of the ICE occupation here in MPLS, some of the singing resistance efforts were aimed at telling agents they could change their minds and leave.
Waiting for these to show up in Utah to echo the Leaving Mormonism billboards.

I can never remember terms for these (and most of the descriptions either) so I love things like this that help nudge my brain to a better understanding.
@bubbalumpkis I'm positive I've seen a list of logical fallacies here on MLTSHP before, maybe someone will kindly repost.

Its been centuries since we last had a knockout fight with a Pope.
This is probably more complicated than the usual "White House says dumbshit thing" within the US because of the popular belief among American Protestants that Catholics are not actually Christian, which makes it easier get away with being openly disrespectful of (coincidentally less-conservative) Pope Leo et al without antagonizing their base, including many right-wing Catholics who are also pretty begrudging of Pope Leo because they were hoping for Cardinal Dolan's election to pope instead.
Vancesplaining
I would love to see the Pope excommunicate and defrock a handful of the hard right-wing Trump loving priests in America and command the entirety of Catholics to stop voting for fascists worldwide.
I expect it won't happen because that whole organization is built on a foundation of tears from child abuse.

Pictured is a stuffed moose toy, dressed in overalls, and a pair of trainers standing as if urinating in front of a urinal.
Also seen in Niagara Falls, Ontario. I love a bit of whimsy disguising maintenance issues. Seen at The Secret Garden Restaurantโs lavatory.

a fake toy in a plastic blister-pack on a custom-made cardback by artist ObviousPlant. the bright, colorful illustrated cardback has the feature title "GET IN LOSERS" and the subtitle below it "WE'RE GOING TO...". in the center is the toy itself, a red molded plastic steam engine with a simply drawn cartoon man with a hat. below that is more text, reading "GO LIVE A SMALL AND QUIET LIFE THAT IS unremarkable yet meaningful to ourselves and the chosen few who shared it with us." in the background of the cardback is an idyllic countryside with a number of characters, saing "toot toot!" "tickets please", "all aboard" and "do not lick the train!"

I can't figure out why Obvious Plant's stuff sets my teeth on edge, but I dearly love stuff like nanoraptor. Brains are weird. (This is a _me_ issue, not any fault of yours, nikkuneko.)
I love Obvious Plant!

It was time: landscaping timbers edition
alt text
A two panel image: the left side shows two worn and rotten landscaping timbers, one in tiny pieces like mulch. The right side shows two bright new Timbers on either side of a bed of basil seedlings
Got a new pair of landscaping timbers in place of the soft-and-shredding old ones. Much nicer. Hereโs to another year of basil jungle!
I gave up and have just been using sticks that fall off of our maple tree as a border, but this does look really nice!
@travis Canโt say I blame you! But since the biggest trees we have in our yard are young dogwoods that are shorter than I am, I donโt have majestic tree branches to use as borders and have to cough up a few bucks every, oh, decade or so, it seems, if I want to keep wooden borders on this spot.
Was tempted by tiles/stones/pavers, though.

Two headlines from The Financial Times - one journalistic article details an 80% innacuracy with AI Medical chatbots, and one opinion piece bemoans AIโs image problem
link to the first article + an archived copy if you run into the paywall (i did):

i wasn't able to get a copy for the opinion piece (which probably would have made my eyes roll straight out of my head and all the way down the block)
