Here's Ellen Harding Baker's "Solar System" quilt.🧪
This is the story.🔭
Back in 1876, an Iowa mom with 7 kids, E. H. Baker, decided that cooking & raising children wasn’t enough for her.
She started working on a wool quilt showing the solar system.

What am I missing? Liam Neeson’s people are saying he’s not responsible for the script or the film he narrates.
This is true! But he is *surely* responsible for the scripts and films he chooses to do. Even more so when it is an overtly political film.

Pantone unveils 2026 color of the year, and it may surprise you
Famed color factory Pantone released its shade of the upcoming year, or perhaps more appropriately for 2026, its lack of shade.

Accidentally fucked up the order of payment of some bills, so I’m in desperate need of commissions 🙃 So maybe for the holidays: consider getting something nice for yourself or your loved ones, and help a broke artist keep her WiFi on💰
Comms are OPEN, and I could REALLY use the support 🌈 Please retweet, share and help a freelance artist survive!!! (Check out the thread below for more art 💖)

the only time I ever saw a cancelled entertainer reënter the culture was at my cousins wedding when a drunk lady got cut off at the bar and fell down the stairs and busted her head open and went to the hospital and came back somehow with blood running down her head and tried to get another beverage

Fossil-fuel companies didn’t just respond to demand they spent decades creating it. They pushed governments to build highways, pipelines, gas systems, and car-dependent cities, locking society into fossil use. Through lobbying they secured subsidies, blocked clean-energy policies,

This is a really nice idea
Someone bought a bunch of the turkeys and hams at our local grocery in town and told the manager to make them available for free to folks that need them. There’s a whole freezer case with a sign on it that just says “If you need one take one, if you don’t then leave it for someone else.”

You can make art.
The biggest step isn't getting good at art, it's being willing to make art that doesn't match the idea of "good art" in your head.
Making a lot of imperfect art is an essential step toward making perfect art; a counterproductive goal you shouldn't have anyway.
