But it was foreign affairs journalist Ishaan Tharoor who captured the larger story of Trump’s speech.
“A senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” Tharoor wrote, “‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’”
[YES, YES we do!] #HCR

No. 13 in the wild with an Urban Cow in Austin, TX. The exact same blocks as No. 12, though it looks remarkably different! Love this one! New blog post about it coming tomorrow! #modernquilt #HST #quilt #quiltsky #cowart #quiltsinthewild

Part 1 of No. 11 is up on my blog. A fun color palette to play with, and a LOT of yellow! Defining Yellow as a neutral. 😅 #artquilt #modernquilt #minimalism #yellow

From July 6. Bull Creek. With water. We have measured 4” of rain near this spot. Normally it is barely flowing with a trickle of water. A little rain can go a long way. #flashflood #bullcreek #austin

No. 2 From a photo shoot a few weeks ago. Same creek, same spot as the previously raging waters video I posted. I am struggling with the emotional toll of last week’s flood and I was not directly affected. My heart goes out to those who were. #quiltsky #modernquilt #creek #quiltsinthewild #bullcreek

Austin's troll, Malin by Thomas Dambo. Malin is here to remind us that we should share water and resources with the animals that live here with us. I thought it was the perfect complement for my little blue quilt. #quiltsky #modernquilt #quilt #HST #blue #troll @thomasdambo

Crazy in love with this one, so I had to get it's portrait with another favorite of mine, this stone rhino. Anyone else noticing how their joy is significantly dulled by world events? Wishing you peace today.
