God I would’ve been so happy just living my life absolutely zapped on laudanum all day long, just me and all my precious radiator bread

It would be so cool to own a piece but I really hope it all goes to a museum 🤓🎹

"On November 18 and 19 in Nashville, United States, auction house Julien’s will auction more than 450 items from the estate of Florian Schneider, the co-founder of German electronic band Kraftwerk."
Kraftwerk’s equipment defined electronic music. Now it’s on sale to the highest bidder
Kraftwerk helped invent modern electronic music. What happens to their legacy when a co-founder’s studio is broken up and sold off?

New favourite thing:

Watching people slice rocks in half on YouTube to see what's inside.

It's ASMR with added suspense. Extra points if the video includes tumbling.

I just saw a guy make gorgeous polished cabochon pendants out of rocks from the IKEA carpark!

I made some art yesterday.

It doesn't look much chop postage stamp size but here we are.

As it is Saturday morning where I am and still Friday most other places, I enjoy a small window when I can get away with posting to a Friday tag and BlueskyArtShow at the same time and no-one is any the wiser.

Until now.

I don't *think* I'm cheating but it kinda feels like it.

Haha.

This is a huge Karri tree growing out of a boulder in the Porongorup National Park, Western Australia. A marvel and metaphor. #ForestFriday

A whole bunch of toxic artificial sweeteners do not decompose in the water system. Great, just great.

#Environment
Sugar alternatives are on the rise. They might not be so sweet for the environment
Some widely used sugar substitutes are not decomposing and are turning into 'forever chemicals', according to a new study.

It's the opposite of summer in Australia so I had to dig into the vault to find a #SummerDaze vibe for this week's #BlueskyArtShow.

I live in the middle of nowhere which makes every car journey a roadtrip. Last weekend I amused myself on a trip to the shops with my thermal camera.
