I agree!!! I have a major emotional reaction to painting of birches, I don't know why. I wish I could buy this (or a print of it) from you!

This remake of the 80s is going to suck without a strong music counterculture.

My first non rectangular crochet project (and one where I just made it up while I went along) is complete. When the apocalypse comes, I can supply custom niche hot water bottle covers.

A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

TIL that "in situ" being italicized has gone the way of the double space after a period.

The Jean-Paul Sartre Cookbook

Since I am sitting here searching quotes by Camus to try to make my own daily dark but inspirational calendar, I will post my periodic reminder of the fabulous Jean-Paul Sartre Cookbook share.google/nqm9eYV1amn3...

Yep. This was short enough that it seemed more like the PubDog gas explosion than the earthquake in 2011, but it felt near enough that my petty work worries evaporated for a moment while I looked to see if there was smoke on the horizon in any direction

This was my favorite song back then. I was 7 years old and kept calling into the highschool radio station trying to use different voices to request them to play it over and over. Still love it. RIP, Falco, we lost you way too young.
