Ernest Arthur Rowe: Painting the Old English Garden I’ve been surprised over the five years I’ve been writing this blog how much people enjoy reading about obscure [to the modern day at least]  artists from the great golden age of garden…

You can read a bit about E.A. Rowe here: thegardenhistory.blog/2018/12/08/e...

Original framed watercolour painting of a garden and the sea by Victorian garden painter Ernest Arthur Rowe

My lovely wife recently had a work that was painted by my maternal great-great uncle Ernest Arthur Rowe reframed as the original frame had disintegrated. This piece was painted in the late 1800s and was a favourite of my grandmother

ICE Goons were out in force today
Holy Family they took away
Shepherds chased over hill and dale
Three wise men are awaiting bail
The stable left in quite a state
His manger smashed, as was the gate!

4 frame comic. Stephie is babysitting at a snowy park. A woman, sitting on the same bench as her, asks : are you that kid's sister? stephie replies : their babysitter, actually! the woman says : "their"? is it a boy or a girl? Stephie answers : we don't know yet, they haven't told us. The woman continues, upset : but won't that confuse the kid?! they must have been born as something! Stephie says : the most confusing part of it is actually the amount of strangers who feel entitled to ask whats in that kid's pants. in the last frame, Stephie stares at the woman silently while the kid's face pops up in the corner of the frame.

The most confusing part

Furious at this. TERFs and Gender Critical people are a loud, radicalized, wealthy minority, forcing groups who've done the right thing for years into horrible positions that none of them want. Stop buying Harry Potter. Fight for your trans brothers and sisters. They'll come for you next.

Illustrated book cover. At the top of the image is a street scene from early twentieth century Denver, with people of all ages in suits and long dresses. Some are on foot; others are in horse-drawn buggies. There is a large archway with "Welcome" across the top, and beyond it is Seventeenth Street full of people. There are buildings with arched windows on either side of the street. At the bottom left is a white girl with a single braid. She is wearing an beige dress and carrying a messenger-style bag over her shoulder. She is looking up at the archway with an excited expression on her face. At the bottom right is an Eastern European folk art motif with flowers and viney stems. The color scheme is shades of turquoise blue and an orangey-red, with purple accents. In the middle of the image is the book's title in white text: The Unexpected Lives of Ordinary Girls. Also the author's name in red text: J. Anderson Coats.

Some of you may know that The Unexpected Lives of Ordinary Girls is inspired by my grandmother's life. I'm hoping that young readers will find themselves curious about lives of the elders they know - their grandparents, family friends, and other older folks who love and care about them. 🧵1/

You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he’s Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he’s just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he’s the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective.

Such a beautiful story!

So, looks like the freelance writing gigs have dried up for me, I’m now struggling to cover the mortgage.

It won’t save me, but maybe buy a copy of Bones & Betrayals, Silence of the Dead, or the Hero Interviews so I can get a couple of quid in 3 months.

Thanks

I think about that post several times a month!

Whoever they are they need to take the words of John Waters to heart:

“If you go home with somebody, and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em!”

Batman has so many Robins because as a youth Bruce Wayne read Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" & decided to use the excessive amount of orphans within Gotham City (thank to the high crime rate) to fight crime.
When a Robin dies there are always more to take its place in the never-ending battle.
