The time I finally figured out how to get wavelets to work with tonal sounds. Clue -- it is the same process used by LIGO to isolate the signals of black-holes merging on the other side of the galaxy. I just did not know that at the time. 🤫 Anyway, an image of the song of a Eurasian Skylark....

To the right-wing pundits crowing over Vance's speech: if you are really "less worried" about a dictator-state that's invaded its neighbour, killed tens of thousands of people, reduced cities to rubble & engaged in mass rape and child abduction, than you are about "wokery", then you are truly lost.

A landscape commission I completed March 2024... this remains one of my proudest aerial embroideries to date! It was challenging and took its time and that pop of spring yellow in the south-west corner was a perfect choice from the commissioner 💛 I hope you also all love it! #fiberarts #embroidery

This thread is a useful slice through the opinions and beliefs of a segment of the population. General thurst: "it'll never work & if it does work it won't be reliable & if it's reliable it won't do anything useful & if it's useful oh god it's coming for my job I better say it causes climate change"
