I was going to use this, but I dunno if I can handle the alt text! It’s a page from Zr + 4HC1 → ZrC14 + 2H2U + 3F2 → UF6, by Roberto Altmann. Altmann was a member of the Lettrist movement in mid-20th century Paris.
Page 2 of Zr + 4HC1 → ZrC14 + 2H2U + 3F2 → UF6, by the Cuban-Lichtensteiner artist Roberto Altmann.

Drop something BLACK & WHITE
Black and white image of three jellyfish swimming in a tank. The body of one is seen at bottom left; the second is just above, swimming towards the left side, tentacles steaming behind. The third rises from bottom to top, mealy filling the middle third of the frame.

Not much. Been like this all day.
Odin, a black dog with bits of brown and white, is lying stretched out on a gray rug, a large bone near his head and a cat tower in the background.

A scene made out of playdough. One plastic person is wrapped in play dough and is holding out a staff. In front of him is a giant frog with little frogs on top. Three other figures are holding staves pointed at several small frogs. Close up of giant playdough frog. Reverse image of the same scene, taken from behind the cloaked figure of Aaron. Playdough scene depicting a plastic figure facing a river, with a skeleton in a casket on the surface of the water.

Finished the floor!
Underside of a Lego model, showing dark sand plates with dark sand and brown bricks supporting them. What will be the floor of a Lego house. Dark sand plates, with some smooth tiles around the edges.

My project for the weekend
The cover of a cardboard box. White background. Upper left a logo, the stylized image of a house with the letters LESDIY underneath. Just right of center reads “Baba Yaga’s Hut.” Underneath that is a picture of a house made of lego-type bricks, with a skull over the front door, and chicken legs with silvery talons.

Brian of Nazareth?
From Monty Python’s The Life of Brian, Brian’s mother stands in a doorway. The walls are made of stone blocks, a light sandy color. The door frame is wood. She’s dressed in a black robe and black head covering. She is pointing and saying “He’s not the messiah! He’s a very naughty boy! Now go away!

Post you from a different era of your life

If you see this, post your favorite Pokemon
A green creature, with tentacles for legs and kelp for hair, walking along the beach. His eyes are googly, and his mouth has one tooth. He is Sigmund, from Sid and Marty Krofft’s Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.

I’m in so deep that I’m writing a #LongNott/#BabaYaga crossover fic that features a Ukrainian witch OC, a sealed off department in the Ministry of Magic, and magical mycelial networks. Below is the Ural Owl (Strix uraliensis) who kicks off all the mayhem. His name is Yuri.
A charcoal drawing of a Ural Owl, perched on a diagonal branch. The owl’s dark eyes and face are framed by kidney shaped rings of small darker feathers; its wings are folded, and two talons are visible clutching the branch.

Can’t get a good shot on my phone, but the moon’s out in all her glory here. It reminds me about the old story of making a coat for the moon to keep her warm at night.

Song of the Sea destroyed me (complimentary)
An underwater scene from the film Song of the Sea. In the center is a young girl with black hair and white clothing, with air bubbles all around her. She’s surrounded by a circle of lighter blue, within a medium to dark blue background. Below her and to her left are two seals swimming. She is directly above the lower one’s head, and the face of the other seal is just to the left of hers.

How your email finds me
On a dark green sofa nestled in a bay window lies a tan pit bull mix with a dark ear and a white hind foot. The rest of him is covered by a pink Hello Kitty and Friends blanket.

Wrote this in the early days of Covid lockdown. h/t @maimonidesnutz.bsky.social for the prompt.
Twitter screenshot maimonides nutz• Ok next game: comment on your favorite song lyric in the format of Talmudic commentary. Patrick Cahn @So....3/18/20 May one sleep on location? R' Ad ben Rock declares one may not. Nor may one sleep touring around the nation. Further, Rabbi Michael ben Diamond, known as the MikeD, asserts that the rabbis are too busy trashing hotels "like it's going out of style." Patrick Cahn @SobaFett Let us turn then to R' Adam ben Yauch, the MCA, who is known to be like a lemon to a lime. He is waking up before he gets to sleep. From this we know, there will be no sleep till Brooklyn.

Who wants to buy this for me, so I can up my papermaking game even more??? It’s even localish!
A Facebook marketplace listing. On the bottom, black text on white reads: Aardvark paper press $500 Above, on a honey-colored wood floor, is a press. The frame of the press is black welded steel. A crossbar at the top is supported by two upright bars. Below that is the plate and the base. Between the crossbar and the plate, centered, is a red hydraulic jack with a silver and white round pressure valve in front. Flanking the jack are two purple cylinders with accordion pleats that expand and contract and cover the springs inside for safety. Background: lower quadrant is wooden floorboards, horizontal, stained a honey color. Above: a muted Persian rug, cream colored with brownish red flowers along the borders and in the field. On the rug are several molds and deckles for papermaking. The deckles are rectangular wooden frames. The molds are matching wooden frames with screen stretched across.
