April 25 is #WorldPenguinDay so enjoy some Adélie penguins!

This handsome couple, two Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae), common to all the Antarctic coasts, are hand printed in black ink with a hint of orange on white Japanese paper. 🧵1/2
As described, my linocut shows two Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae). They are hand printed in black ink with a hint of orange on white Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper. Each print is 12.5" by 9.25" (31.8 cm by 23.5cm).

Good morning, skeeters. It’s just another manic Monday.
On a seafoam green background is an illustration of an orange tabby sat in its bottom. It’s wearing a pink and blue party hat with a purple Pom Pom on the end that says “No.” it’s surrounded by different baked breads like loaves, croissants, pretzels, scones, etc. the meme caption reads “i just want to eat bread and not live through any historically significant events.” Meme by nomsikka

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

(1) your haters are trash
(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️
Prague, 23 November 1911 Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie, Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism! I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i
