I’ve had a bobcat terrorizing my chickens for about a month now. It got four of them. The other girls have been stuck in the run ever since. Waiting on trail cam to arrive. Got a trap. Though I also heard there’s some sort of castle law out here with regard to livestock.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Well, this should be a record-breaking day nokings.org

Everything seems awful and chaotic and powerless, so I am left to do what I can only do: share some beauty with the world. I have no wise words or platitudes, but I do have a camera and empathy. A shot from my first global geomagnetic storm (2024) 💛

I really want to. Although I've been known to fall in love with mediums and buy everything I need to work with them (I could not afford everything needed for litho) only to get tired of them OR excited by something new to me some time later. For now though, I'm in love with printmaking.

The noises those things make in the wee hours of the morning 😬😳

It’s so much fun! Print studios with all the goods for all the different printing mediums are so rare these days. It’s an honor to be able to not only learn the process but to have the opportunity to create in this medium before it dies.

Cards against humanity FTW!

Low-angle photograph of several black-and-white lithographs arranged on a large studio worktable. Each print depicts magnolia blossoms and leaves in front of a background of small, square tiles. The magnolias are rendered with detailed linework and soft tonal shading typical of lithography, with petals and buds standing out against the textured, grid-like tile pattern. The closest print is in sharp focus, showing crisp edges and subtle gradations of gray, while the other prints extend into the background and gradually blur. The white paper has slightly deckled edges, and the setting appears to be a printmaking studio with equipment and tables visible beyond the work surface.

1st attempt at #lithography complete. I wish there was a self warming ball point pen for autographic ink but it was nice to get the feel of the medium. Can’t wait for number two.

I think it can be learned and with the right intentions it doesn’t come off as sketchy.

What the fuck?!

Have you ever watched the rug cleaning videos 😆 they’re oddly addictive

I was the same way until I sat down one day, opened up YouTube and decided not to give up. It took looking through a lot of videos until I found someone teaching it in a way I understood; I had a scarf by the end of the day. You CAN do it 🍀

That's because the UPS Store or its equivalent is registered with USPS as a CMRA (commercial mail receiving agency), and nearly every system uses USPS for address verification, so the systems know it's not a residential address.

Same here, when I registered I had to provide a physical address and was given the option of a different mailing address. It makes sense, especially in a state where so many of us don't have mailboxes or mail service.

The system, if everything was entered properly, should differentiate between the PMB rentals and the home addresses.

UPS stores and others like them are registered with USPS as CMRA's (commercial mail receiving agencies) so the USPS system (on which nearly all address verifications run) should have this in it's memory and the box numbers at that UPS store must different than the home addresses at that location.

I’ve learned goats have no boundaries, so why should I? Goats are happy.

Another rainy Sunday paint-all-day. I had had a name for this, but I looked it's definition up and it did NOT mean what I thought it meant, so I guess I will have to stare at it for a while.

UPS stores don’t rent P.O.Boxes either, only USPS can do that. People who get mail at the UPS store or any other similar business (think Mailboxes etc) are renting private mail boxes aka PMB’s 🤦🏻‍♀️

One day sometime in the near-ish future, I’ll have time to crochet again; words fail to capture the feeling of magic making that comes from partaking in this craft.
