Hivemind: Thinking about making another sweet of prints that spring from this one. Looking for old star maps.

Where are good places to look? Is there an archive I should start with? I’m as interested in the artistic embellishments of the maps as I’m in how the night sky is represented.

Look closely. You may see neuron trees and neurotransmitter constellations. ✨

Portland friends, do not miss “A Larger Reality: Ursula K. Le Guin” up at Oregon Contemporary.

Inspiring details throughout.

Portland writer Le Guin would draw maps of the worlds she created before starting a novel.

Now compelled to read ‘The Lathe of Heaven’ where a man’s dreams alters reality

Pro tip: If you’re an introvert you can call after hours and leave a voicemail.

You want to stop funding ICE, the Senate can do that. Government funding runs out on *January 30th* This is a moment to hold
them accountable.

Currently there are just calls to require agents to display IDs and unmask.

I don’t think ICE should get any money until they stop terrorizing people.

At Oregon Contemporary this Saturday, 1/17, gather under the oak tree as Ursula K. Le Guin’s daughters, daughter-in-law, and one of her granddaughters read a selection of her children’s books.

The event is free to attend and open to all! Storytime begins at noon.

"I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!"

Saw this on a yard sign and it's been looping in my head ever since.
The murdering will continue until morale improves.

The detail I can’t get out of my head was that Renee Nichole Good had stuffed animals in her glove box.

I’m guessing she had a booster seat and maybe some stale cheerios in the back seat.

Happy new year! My all sky camera imaged the sky every 15 seconds and this picture shows what happened in the sky in 2025. It shows the length of the night and day with the hourglass shape, the monthly lunar cycle with the diagonal bands, the elevation of the Sun at local noon, and lots of clouds.

Sigh, we could have continued to invest in solar power, instead we have this nonsense.

For those who enjoy how science and research may have influenced artists, this is a wonderful read.

Little hands made cookies and we dropped them off with a few neighbors yesterday.

I get such a kick of dropping off a box of mice.

Something lovely for the weekend!

Beautiful blue glass beads from the late Bronze Age 💙

Ploughed up by a farmer in Denmark in 1885, analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia, pointing to long-distance trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago.

I received this txt Tuesday morning and *just happened* to park in front the oddity shop Paxton Gate when running an unrelated errand.

I thought they just had sculls, taxidermy and crystals. I was delighted to discover that they had an entire section of the store devoted to carnivorous plants.

So, what happened on Twitter? They now allow people to alter people’s photos and images?

I blew off social media lately, and for that I apologize. But I can’t let #ArtAdventCalendar pass without posting at least ONCE! So here’s something different, a photo of a lone surfer, three weeks ago during the King Tides at Cannon Beach #Oregon, just two days before all the flooding hit.

An idea.
