100000000% THIS Remember Mitch McConnell's strategy was to use unchallenged seats on school boards, city councils, etc to build a foundation of extreme right-wing power. Progressives need to do the same. This is why I donate to @runforsomething.net monthly. If you're willing, they'll help you run.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Joanna Russ sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/russ_j... was born on this day, so here are three of her Spanish book covers, plus another (artist: [couldn't decipher signature], [style familiar, can't remember name], [couldn't identify] and Kevin Eugene Johnson):

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

"For it is one thing to imagine an ongoing destructive process and quite another to feel one’s own power to imagine draw to a halt, potentially destroyed by the destructive processes one is tracking."

Moss and brick. Gonna put that in a book. Moss and brick aesthetic.

Good Morning, World.

Everything is crazy and awful right now. So here is something kind of cool that I found on my run on a trail today: a heart carved in the moss on a tree. It made me smile. There is still love in the world.

These are all different parts of my yard. I’ve spent three years encouraging my lawn to not be a lawn.

Scam alert: multiple authors report an email from Writers Way Solutions promising a free interview. Interview is indeed free but "sponsor" Davis Production Co doesn't exist & the "experts" providing the promised feedback are 100% fake. Aim seems to be to use "feedback" to sell marketing services

#Tractor AND #torc... what more could you want?? 🤣

I often wonder what future archaeologists will make of the crop circle remains of this enclosure. Hut circle? Ritual significance? It's a sheepdog puppy training pen. The sheep are penned and the sheep dog puppy is taught clockwise and anti-clockwise commands around them. #archaeology #rural #dogs

‘Fragment of a Queen’s Face’ Timeless beauty from Ancient Egypt, c. 1390–1336 BC. Yellow jasper exquisitely sculpted and polished to achieve a mirror-like surface. The identity of this royal woman is uncertain. The Met, photo by me. #Archaeology

#H5N1 #BirdFlu #MMWR human-to-cat/cat-to-human study finally published. Here's what struck me: Dairy workers w/symptoms refusing testing; "uninfected" dairy farm w/reportedly dead barn cats; no questions re raw milk consumption; symptoms in dairy worker including vomiting and diarrhea.

For those of you who have noted that Substack is basically a Nazi Bar and you’re looking for a place to move your writing to, the info in this thread may be an option worth looking into.

The Bertrand Goldberg-designed Heimbach House tends to get the lion's share of modernism attention in Blue Island, but the town has a ton of good small-scale midcentury architecture. These three are all on the same block of Longwood. The first was town architect William Carlson's personal home.

This is an interesting thread. Thinking about it, the Federation is pretty much the only pop culture government that is represented as GOOD. There are a few in fantasy—Valdemar, maybe LOTR elves?—but it seems to crop up more in SF, and a lot more in an alien UN where the struggle is humans joining.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This katydid from Ecuador has been affectionately named by photographers "candy-cane katydid". The truth is... we are not sure which species it is. One possibility is a Harroweria nymph, but until someone witnesses the transformation into the adult stage it will remain a mystery.

Joseph Millard sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/millar... died on this day: here's artwork for his story "The Gods Hate Kansas": originally published in Startling Stories 1941 (see last Feb's post), 1 is the 1964 novel & 2-4 the 1952 magazine reprint (Artist: Jack Thurston, Earle Bergey & Virgil Finlayx2):

I just remembered I really love brick architecture. Thus the brickwork spam. I need to work this into my writing. I imagine a scene that's full of environmental dangers (weather) and strange/interesting brickwork would be compelling...

Love this brickwork in Blair, Oklahoma

Firebacks might not be the flashiest part of a fireplace, but they've been a part of homes for centuries. These iron plates, placed at the back of a fireplace, help protect the brickwork from heat damage and reflect warmth into the room.

The oldest bits of the Hall as you say will be reused stonework and brickwork - some of which are likely Roman.

Sunlit Spieringstraat in Gouda, Netherlands. Red shutters, historic brickwork, and rental bikes in a perfect blend of old and new. #prettypictures #arne'spictures #photography #Gouda #Netherlands #bicycles #architecture #historicbuildings #travelphotography #urbanexploration

Looking up at the Welsh Back Granary, Bristol, one of the most dazzling bits of architectural patterning I know.
