For #SuperbOwl Sunday, an owl-themed painting that is hands down one of my favorite artworks of all time: Singing Cats Led by an Owl, by an unidentified Lombard artist from circa 1700. Looks closely at the mice used as musical notes (and the butt trumpet as well)

At our quaint spirits. Sing me now asleep."

Maybe a good time for this as well with norovirus making headlines.
I made this for our bathroom and a few “lucky” friends also got one as a gift.
As I’ve said before, it’s astonishing that I even have any friends at all.

I’m sure I’m not the only woman feeling like this right now. Exhausted and antsy and so angry and sad and hopeless.
We all knew what was happening, we all know how power and patriarchy works.
We spend so much of our energy living with that knowledge.

Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, with the focus on young people who are keen as mustard on lashings of Savora mustard to dress the giant-celery trees, and dress up their simple repast (crudités and fromage). Watch out for leering voyeurs in the long grass, les jeunes.

I know it is the role of a political commentator to announce that 'it is time for the prime minister to quit' several times a year. Are there any other necessary qualifications?

This Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to introduce you all to the magical curse bowls used in Upper Mesopotamia and Syria in late antiquity. Written in Mandaic (as here) or Syriac Aramaic, they trap demons who trespass on a household by sucking them in with spiraling spells to the center of the bowl.
