Weird (the good kind!) reclusive old lady who dabbles in art, cooking, and mocking Nazis. Fond of birds and gardens. Proud of my state of Minnesota. She/her.

This is my kind of a ghost story. Wistful, charming, and hits the heart as rock-hard true.
We saw a ghost the other night, Tâf and I, out on the footpath.
Well. She saw a ghost. I didn’t see anything.
I felt them, though, knew they were there.

Your regular reminder that during the era of The Odyssey, "white" Europeans were considered barbarians and the civilized peoples were swarthy Mediterraneans and black North Africans
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.
Elon Musk claims Christopher Nolan has lost ‘integrity’ over The Odyssey casting
Lupita Nyong’o is reportedly set to play Helen of Troy in Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s epic poem

Each time we sidestep a difficulty, we hand it the keys to our kingdom. Fear thrives on our retreat — the shadows we refuse to face stretch and distort until they dwarf the landscape of our lives.

Texas Democrats are showing the way. Get out there and be the alternative you want to see in government.
Buried in this article is the astonishing news that "Across the state Democrats have recruited candidates to run in all 150 state House districts, 16 state Senate districts and every other state and federal contest on the ballot". G-d bless Texas, get on their level.

Detained earlier this month and already dead. ICE kills.
This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place.

This footage is unbelievable on multiple levels. Even doing kintsugi after intentionally breaking a piece feels hard to believe—yet they start by making the pottery, then break it, and even present it to Japan’s Prime Minister. Everything is completely unexpected😵

I was commissioned by the White House to make this wheel-thrown chattered pottery with 23.5K Gold Kintsugi as a gift for the Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife Yuko. The highlight was being invited to the White House (April 10, 2024) by President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden to witness the elaborate ceremony hosted by them welcoming the Japanese leader and his wife to the United States.This video shows the highlights of the creation process and the visit to the White House.@kintsugigallery @lakesidepottery #kintsugi #kintsukuroi #kintsugirepair #goldkintsugi #mortybachar #redkintsugi #kintsugiart #POTUS #FumioKishidaView all comments
