Happy May the 4th!

Cette image vous présente le nuage sombre Barnard 68, à 500 années-lumière. Ce n'est pas un trou dans le ciel, mais un nuage de gaz et poussière dense qui va bientôt s'effondrer pour former une étoile ( dans ~200000ans). Actuellement il y fait froid, très froid: -260 degrés !

Elizabeth Catlett, Sharecropper, 1952, two colour lino cut. The US artist utilised printmaking with extreme skill to explore themes of her fellow African Americans in a 20th century era of Civil Rights activism #womensart

Carl Sagan on how humanity can create its purpose and make its existence meaningful.

I’m on the Portland Art Museum’s mailing list for some reasons, and there are two or three things on their summer camp list that I’d sign up for.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

“God of Rock, thank you for this chance to kick ass. We are your humble servants. Please give us the power to blow people’s minds with our high-voltage rock. In your name we pray. Amen.” Revisited SCHOOL OF ROCK with my family and it was so much better than I remembered.

My new painting in progress

Here's your (and my) distraction from, y'know... <gestures at everything> As some of you may have picked up on, I collect action figures. And for a while I've been on the lookout for this Xarria figure Four Horsemen out out a few years back. She's a demon. She's cool. Unfortunately...

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

An adorable little Least Sandpiper 🪶

Hey, I have ANOTHER translation coming out this year! It's my Spanish version of Gloria Amescua's beautiful Child of the Flower-Song People: Luz Jiménez, Daughter of the Nahua, and it'll drop November 11. Get yourself a copy of both the English and Spanish books ... They are must-reads!

haven't posted knitting updates in a while, so here's a knitting update: i knitted some socks for friends' babies that looked like duck feet. here they are on my confused and also patient cat:

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

I have a friend who once said something absolutely peak.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

Queen of Sweden Rose The color begins as soft-apricot pink, gradually changing to pure soft pink over time. There is a lovely myrrh fragrance. #bloomscrolling

"Journey from Beneath", I want to say this one was painted in 2016 or so? I'd like to do another cave piece sometime soon.

The administrat8on has released their proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026: which cuts funding for the IMLS, the NEA, the National Endowment for the Humanities, Americorp, Corporation for Public Broadcasting linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%...

Reminder that IMLS supports Libby and Interlibrary Loan, so if you like things like rural borrowers having the same access as city residents and immunocompromised people being able to still use their library despite ableds demanding libraries open without masks…time to push back.

I was thinking of this essay today. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

This is Bambi. She loves flowers. Because just like her, they bring immense joy into the world while remaining impressively close to the ground. 12/10

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

Nailed it

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

I’d love a future Trek series to really revisit the Delta Quadrant. If they can get 60 years of storytelling out of the Romulans and Klingons then they should take advantage of what Voyager built. I’d especially love to see several species form an alliance that is a major rival to the Federation.

amazing things are happening on rednote

the crazy part is this means the facebook we’ve all been experiencing for the past 5 years was the *good* version

🔥 America has ~1 million firefighters. 🚨 65% of them volunteer their time. If we spent just 1/10 of the U.S. defense budget, we could: ⚡️ Create a mega fire brigade. 👩‍🚒 Hire 895,000 NEW full-time firefighters. 💰 Pay them $100,000 a year. Instead of invading Greenland we could protect Americans. 🔥
