Well, this is the worst thing I've read this morning.

Amazing thrift store find. I just picked it up because it was $1 and about #embroidery , but then got home and realized it's a treasure trove of historical and indigenous stitches. 1964.

We were able to see the "Frida Kahlo's Month in Paris: A Friendship with Mary Reynolds" exhibit at the @artinstitutechi.bsky.social, along with so many other amazing works in the AIC's general collection. Definitely check it out if you haven't been. I could spend a week there. 🦁🦁

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Nearly had ourselves a lotus-eaters situation in the beautiful & massive Elizabeth's Grand Antique Co. I could have stayed here forever. I swear it's 10x bigger on the inside than it appears from the outside.

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was:
* first awarded under Trump
* paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom
* for researching *defenses* against deception
* not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

Look, the task is huge and it’s going to take all of us. You have to find your piece of the work and chip away at it.
However: the odds are *vanishingly small* that “your piece of the work” begins and ends at telling other people they’re doing it wrong.

If you oppose DEI you should have to use the full phrase, “I oppose diversity, equity and inclusion.”
Bonus points if you add your points, “I oppose disabled veterans equal access to employment.” “I oppose mothers having jobs.”
Making it an acronym turns it into a thought-terminating cliche.

My first post on Bluesky was a work in progress 13 months ago and then I neglected this account for a year. I feel compelled to post the finished watercolor even though it's out of date now. 2024 Wheel of the year in #watercolor

This was the oldest book I've come across at the small thrift store where I work. It's a German prayer book from 1834. Currently listening to a book set in 1846, so it's surreal to hold a book contemporary to that time.
