Clovers! Very proud of finishing this one. Based on some super cute photos of a friend's cat that just fit this painting idea I had perfectly.
Can you find any four-leaf ones? 🍀 #art

To see the fiercest warriors on film today, skip Gladiator II. Instead, watch The Librarians, a new documentary that debuted at Sundance, where the librarians who appeared in the film received a standing ovation from the festival's Salt Lake City audience pen.org/the-libraria...
‘The Librarians’ Film Shows the Toll of Book Bans
To see the fiercest warriors on film today, don’t bother with "Gladiator II." Instead, watch "The Librarians," the documentary feature film partnering for its impact campaign with PEN America.

This is the perfect beginner lace pattern. I think it's most successful in a delicate light weight (lace) yarn. (Pinterest)
The pattern is called the one row lace scarf (free) it's here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

A rare photo from recent years of me both standing (leaning!) and dressed. It took over a year to gather enough scraps of energy to create the dress from old pairs of jeans. In the years since I’ve mostly lived in PJs but I’ll wear it again.

A white woman with red pixie-cut hair is leaning against a white wardrobe decorated with scarves hanging from black hooks. The woman is wearing a knee-length pinafore dress made from irregular diagonal stripes of dark and light blue denim. There are two patch pockets on the front at just below hip level.

ahem

here is a bird

you need the bird

enjoy the bird

(photo by me)
From middle left to lower middle of frame cuts a blue line marking the windshield of a car reflecting the sky above. Behind, the yellow haze of just-blooming forsythias. And in the middle of the photo, upon the windshield, is the Smallest Loudest Loudbird, aka, the Carolina Wren. It is a small brown bird, exceptional for its streak of white eye makeup, and a slight lemon blush of yellow underneath its head. Its beak is curved -- all the better for getting ants and spiders out of nooks and crannies, dontchaknow -- and it is open, yelling, because Carolina Wrens do that, they just yell, all the time, often in threes, CHEESEBURGER CHEESEBURGER CHEESEBURGER or JEREMY JEREMY JEREMY. They yell and yell. They curse the universe. They demand recompense. They want to see life's manager. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

These are the two pieces from Studio Art Quilt Associates' exhibition "Color in Context: Red" that the American Quilter's Society censored from the show. In response, SAQA's board, at the urging of many members, pulled the entire exhibition from all AQS 2025 shows. (Continued in comments)

Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway.

@archive.org has been crucial in the effort to save science.

In my 2022 paper I used the Wayback Machine, a free service, to track medical recommendations in the early pandemic. But I just realized I’ve never donated to them. I just did, and so should you.

IC 405, the Flaming Star Nebula
4 hrs, Seestar S50 🔭

The bright star is AE Aurigae, a runaway variable star that is ~30,000 times more luminous than the Sun. 2Myr ago it was ejected from a multibody encounter and flung on its current path. Now it’s passing through and lighting up this gas cloud 🧪
A black background is dotted with stars. A bright red filamentary nebula curls in the shape of an arch with a spur on the left. A bright star is located near the base of the arch

Photo of my Howl Pendragon cosplay on a sewing form, frontal three quarters view. White shirt and black pants with a pink and blue jacket thrown over the shoulders, like the Studio Ghibli design. The jacket is heavily beaded and covered in floss and ribbon embroidery. There are also two necklaces with blue pendants around the form's neck and a pair of green drop earrings pinned close by. Photo of my Howl Pendragon cosplay on a sewing form, view from the back. Black pants pinned to the sewing form with a pink and blue jacket thrown over the shoulders, like the Studio Ghibli design. The jacket is heavily beaded and covered in floss and ribbon embroidery. The back of the jacket shows the scene from the Ghibli film as a young Howl standing on a meadow catches a falling star. There are other falling stars in the night sky. The meadow is completely beaded and framed in a golden velvet ribbon. Embroidered with golden floss beneath the golden ribbon reads: "You who swallowed a falling star, o' heartless man".

Pause for bird. Enjoy the bird. Nature is good, birds are good, regard the bird.

Carry on.

(photo by me)
Very, very red male cardinal expressing "maximum borbage" shape. Body nearly round as a pom-pom or a Christmas ornament. He sits on a crooked branch in the falling snow. The red is a bold contrast against the white. The dark square of his face surrounding the orangey beak is so dark, the bird appears to have no eyes, just shadowy scrutiny pointed in your direction. The bird looks quite serious, with the exception of the tiny little glib flip of its feathers at the top of its head. One wonders if that is on purpose, or if it annoys the bird, like the way a middle-schooler's hair in the morning before school is never quite right, and always a frustration.
