Hooray birth!

A bright spot in these dark times is the return of feral baseball players from their hibernation.

I think i bought this album in 1999

Look, he's a certified himbo who doesn't know how big he is, and cats don't understand much English, but i am trying

Pitchers and catchers, everybody. Let’s get after it today.

I'd like to share with you this perfect moss ball 🌿✨

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

Jalapeño has been napping with his stuffties lately, and it warms my heart.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Nonew pictures, where are you mentally?

Sending you love and comfort, pal ❤️

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

i left the church and have nothing to do with it anymore but something happens when i see priests and pastors and rabbis and imams and sikhs at protests going so hard in mega harsh conditions i get choked up. this is how all of that is supposed to be. that's what all of that is supposed to be for.

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

Last week, Austin PD called ICE to turn in a woman from Honduras and her US-born 5 year-old daughter.

They only knew about them because the woman called 911 for help with a domestic disturbance. She needed help and they handed her over to ICE.

The police don’t care about protecting you.

You may have heard the news about that scumbag in PA that broke into a cemetery and stole the remains of upwards of 100 people. It is absolutely horrifying, and I'm crushed because of where it happened. Let me tell you a little bit about Mount Moriah. (🧵)

Some will say you can't swirly someone with a cueball head, but they simply lack vision

I feel so seen.

A decorative, graphic winter scene in deep blue and muted gold tones. A huge tree dominates the image, its trunk and sweeping branches rendered in bold black silhouettes that curl and twist like calligraphy. Fine, delicate twigs fill the canopy with dense, lace-like patterns, dotted with tiny golden, star-shaped needles. Beneath the tree, stylised snowbanks rise in flowing curves, casting long blue shadows across a smooth, pale ground. The overall mood is serene and magical, blending nature and ornament in Eyvind Earle’s distinctive mid-century fairy-tale style.

“In the woods where snow is thick, bars of sunlight lay like pale fire.”

Well folks, guess who's the new Father Christmas

At first glance I thought this was Paddington

The Mistletoe Gatherer by John Everett Millais

The Mistletoe Gatherer by Millais. The careful character study, beautiful drapery, and sparse background is typical of my favorite works of his. I hadn't seen this one before deciding to make this thread. I hadn't read about that Van Gogh painting before either. I'm learning about beautiful things.

Text on image: The more I think about it, the more I incline to the opinion that the most important thing of all is not to lose hope and faith in life itself. Anyone who does so is lost, regardless of what good fortune may befall him. And so, from the bottom of my heart, my New Year's wish is that you not lose your hope, faith and ability to delight in the world—even if the world is the way it is. If you can manage that, everything else will come; if you give in, nothing can help you. Václav Havel Letter to his wife, Olga 21st December 1980

Someone posting a photo on Instagram of a house with the address numbers running vertically. He asks if it's 8011 or 1108 and someone else responds "that's the Philly phanatic." It really is the Philly Phanatic, yes, correct. https://www.reddit.com/r/phillies/comments/1pqlp51/once_you_see_it/
