US customers: contrary to what you might have heard, art and books from the UK are still TARIFF-FREE! Plus, all import duties are pre-paid by me, so you WON’T have to pay any extra!

Once again I'm begging people not to compare politicians to invertebrates. Inverts are cool and diverse and play an important ecological role. Politicians are the lower order.

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.
Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

Trump just continually shooting our country in the face. This unwarranted (and likely illegal) destruction of Goddard is madness. It jeopardizes the next several decades of space exploration.
Reposting to correct an error: trump admin is quietly gutting 13 buildings and about 100 laboratories at Goddard campus that has been instrumental to Hubble and James Webb telescope missions. Staff say they’ve be locked and told to move equipment. Anything left behind will be thrown away.

Joaquin Mir's painting depicts the fish pond in the garden of his house at Vilanova near Tarragona in 1922. Explorations of colour through nature defined his career from around this date; the palette in this work reflects his renewed self-confidence after years of depression.
