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.

The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of France’s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde

Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.
A large stuffed folder of files with the title “Epstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

The horse is cast paper, coated in matte medium and transparent watercolor ground, then painted in watercolor. The background is made from several layers of cut paper gilded in 24K gold and copper leaf, with a mother of pearl shell veneer behind the horse’s head. The fire at his feet is also shell veneer with a thin strip of cherry wood veneer on top. I laser cut the surrounding design from four different wood veneers layered together. The frame is wrapped in black lacquer paper and protected with museum quality uv blocking and anti-glare plexiglass with brass corners.

This is stunning. I desperately hope the USA will be capable of overcoming the current mountainish inhumanity.

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.

A red fox sits very primly amid snow, in profile facing right. Why it decided to sit in the shade instead of the sun is known only to the fox.

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.

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.

A small young white-tailed deer starts to bolt from incoming maternal attention. They are standing on the now frozen and snow covered creek that forms the border of our backyard. Their coats look nicely thick and plushy, up for dealing with the cold winter weather.

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.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
