could there be any reason why they won't ship to the US? I sure can't think of one! 🫠😭

I kept my last name out of laziness. It sure has paid off

mean! 😭 😂

it's too late. in the intervening 30 seconds it took you to clarify, I already went and busted my ankle.

well, you see, you haven't posted it quite enough

*terminator thumbs up animated gif*

I zoomed in and followed the person closest to me.

when I die, if there's a hell, and I go to it, it's going to be removing shipping tape from a cardboard box that someone has practically mummified, and then inside the box it's going to be that same box over and over... i just sit there, dutifully unwrapping and composting that goddamn cardboard

well, that's fair. hello

oof, how did it take me this long to refind sondy here? 😵

I just finished hitting "send" on the email.

it's clearly been waiting many years for the perfect moment to do this to you

a most pleasing thought

Finding the creator would be amazing, but all I really want to do is give them back if they are wanted. I will try contacting the museum.

Toussaint Louverture - Wikipedia

Haiti's is censored, too. The original painting featured this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toussai... and his sword was a snake! haitianartsociety.org/edouard-duva...

my vagus nerve just makes me want to vomit when I eat a little too much food and the house is too hot

oh, yeah, if anyone wants them I wouldn’t be too particular about it… just a legit artist who wants them. Navajo is just my guess. I know my mom spent some time in Arizona or had a friend there, but I’m not even sure who originally acquired them or from where.

If anyone (Arizona peeps?) knows anyone, let me know. Unfortunately I know nothing about them other than they appear to be silver, and the metal of the bangle is cracked. No signature, no stamps, etc.

A bangle, a ring, and a bracelet sitting in a row. They are made of silver and natural stones and appear to be of traditional Navajo design. The bangle is wide and has a single, large cabochon of blueish green turquoise with a small brownish vein of matrix running through the middle. It has scrollwork and stamping and is tarnished. The ring features an inlaid circle of crushed turquoise and three inlaid "rain drop" shapes of pinkish orangeish crushed coral. Spheres of silver are nestled between the inlays. The third bracelet is a simple, narrow bracelet featuring alternating rectangles of inlaid crushed coral and turquoise.

I'm sorting through a bunch of old jewelry from my mom, mostly preparing to scrap it since it's heavily worn, damaged, and does not hold sentimental value to me. These pieces I thought maybe could be returned to a Navajo artist to be repurposed. I don't know anyone. I'd mail them for free.

oh, yeah, a nice way to show how dark the moon's surface really is

Oh no. 😔 I really hope they do a great job and your eye heals up good as new.

FWIW I think people realize that the bot here makes crappy images. People find a lot of value in what they view as "breaking" news. I used to get a lot of likes over on Shitter because I'd post things super fast off the archive. I guess likes are encouraging but I just thought it was fun.

Over time I added more and more meta data and I'm glad I did, because a lot of people who've followed in my footsteps have also somewhat borrowed my attribution methods. Needs: Who dunnit, ID the dataset(s), filters->colors, & how to get north. Attribution and reproduceable like science.

it's funny you say that because it took me a long time to figure out how to do "enough" to give the credit. If you go far enough back in my gallery it's kind of me going "uh I don't know what this is or what I'm doing here you go" and eventually I realized I needed to do all this other work.

hold up, new "me going on my stupid little walk for my stupid mental health" meme just dropped

something something "contractually obligated"

I would be entirely unsurprised if there were skeletons under that place

I...can't...stop cringing at this... I felt like I was watching Final Destination

hello I'm here to promote the zinger in Matthew's post even though I barely know what's going on. please read it multiple times

I love the Zebras so much 😭
