In a parody of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting “Christina’s World,” a woman in a white dress lying on a huge stretch of astroturf reaches mysteriously towards the empty, stupid pavilions and disused Ferris wheel of the failed Great American State Fair boondoggle that the Trump administration staged on the Washington DC Mall in place of the bipartisan-supported and significantly better 250th-anniversary of the US celebration that had been in the works for the past decade.

Imagine if it was dim, low music, it’s all warm and snuggly, weighted blanket. 1 hr. That’s all it would take.

I can't remember when Spiner was cast as Data, in Star Trek, but it was cool to see this still.

It's a fun article. I like the anecdote about Goldblum being taken to a sci-fi convention and being taken aback by the reception. He should have worn his Buckaroo Banzai chaps. Now that would have sent the nerds into hysterics.

Insoles for the 3d printed sandals/zori
alt text
I found some fun fabric at Michaels and got some foam rubber to make insoles out of. This is actually the second try, because the first try looked stupid. It turns out stretching fabric over foam rubber and upholstery have a lot in common, so I took a look at some upholstery videos, and tried my amateurish best to copy the idea of how they did things.
For the top, I glued the fabric to the foam rubber with e6000, smoothing it with an Apoxy Sculpt pot, let it cure for a bit, then for the bottom, I stretched the fabric over, and secured it with hot glue, so it would adhere quickly. Then I cut and trimmed all the placed where the fabric bunched up, so the bottom would be relatively flat.
I think it looks pretty good! The straps are an experiment with some different fabric. Next step is to sew some big puffy straps, and see how comfy they are.

One of the things that is fun about being your friend is how similar you and I are in our tendency for falling down nerd hobby rabbit holes but how far apart many of our respective rabbit holes are. I never would have though about spending time figuring out how to print my own flip-flops, let alone crafting proper insoles for them. It's whole levels of weirdness I get to enjoy without cutting into my own weird hobby time and I love that.

As a "person of size", I was utterly flummoxed by someone driving by as I was walking, yelling out their car window "I LOVE YOUR BELLY!"
I literally did not know what to do with that information.

Painting showing a nighttime interior scene. A dinner table with six chairs set around it is slightly off-center in the scene, lit from above by a candelabra which is hanging from the ceiling. There are ghosts in this painting; we can't see them, but they are certainly there.

Rumor has it I'm related to Andrew Wyeth on my dad's side. Grandma shared a lot of rumors, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Abandoned Claires
Way back in the day, when I decided to get my ears pierced, I went to Claire's. (I know... at least, /now/ I know...) Anyhoo. While I was sitting in the chair and the tech was putting the studs in, there was a little girl standing there, biting her thumb, staring intensely at me. Once the tech finished and stepped away to get an after-care kit, the little girl took a cautious step forward and quietly asked, "...did it hurt?" I told her no, just a little pinch and that's it.
Still biting her thumb, still fiercely holding eye contact, she shook her head, backed away, and said "I don't believe you."
Still biting her thumb, still fiercely holding eye contact, she shook her head, backed away, and said "I don't believe you."
Every time, no matter the circumstances, whenever and wherever I come across, "Claire", my brain will whisper to me, "But roonie, eclair. Let that sink in."
And I will want an eclair and not have one.

A tan dog with black ears sits alertly on a towel, watching the lawn from a corner of a porch under sodium vapor light. What is she thinking? Dog thoughts.
We celebrated quietly, watching the wildlife in the sticky dusk. She's deaf as a post and has torn her ACL on one back leg, but for watching the armadillos and sprites cavort on the verge, neither is really necessary.
This post is beautiful
@chauffi I am glad you could share it.
@1f2frfbf Does Ava bark?
Serious question - if she does not hear well, is it now a case of "What's the point?"?

Patent illustration of an absurdly complicated kettle with spout, handle, and internal chambers labeled PORT WATER ALE SHERRY AND MILK
Sub drawings show perforated disc in spout with holes through which the various liquids would pour when chosen thy the operator, and handle with flaps over air holes the operator would cover with their thumb to block by suction the other undesired liquids from escaping.
I think.
