Make a list of the most regressive, most impulsively reactionary, most aggressively backward-looking bullshit you can think of and be certain that the people who are controlling the US government are going for it.

They will not rest until everything that smells vaguely "progressive" is erased.

Trump orders Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons 'immediately'

The U.S. voluntarily halted nuclear explosive testing in 1992, though it has the ability to resume tests at a site in Nevada.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

I spent all day editing photos of my latest batch of pottery & took advantage of the picturesque autumn situation in my yard for some of the creatures, including these wee raccoons! 🦝 💕 Stay tuned for a load of new photos soon!

Two little ceramic raccoons, a mama and a baby, perhaps, stand on a horizontal-ish tree trunk. There are yellow/green fallen leaves behind them.

One ceramic raccoon in the same setting. This one is very rotund!

Joanna Ho and Caroline Kusin Pritchard, authors of THE DAY THE BOOKS DISAPPEARED, had their elementary school author visit canceled when they arrived and students were waiting for them.

Why? Because they wouldn't *not* talk about book bans–inspiration for their book.

I feel like I'm banging this drum ad infinitum, but: tattoo artists generally stay literate about various hate symbols, and reputable shops refuse to knowingly apply them, because they don't want to attract *that* kind of clientele. It takes proactive effort to find a shop that will do so.

I agree. It was waaaaay too specific to do a random request like that.

"Lilith in the Valley of a Thousand Sculptures"
Mixed media: coffee, graphite, and gold leaf on Arches paper.

The first piece to surface from the Labyrinth.

In pale marble, she carves a tree.
The Golden Serpent coils nearby — patient, watchful.

[ENGLISH ALT-TEXT]
A surreal artwork in warm sepia and gold tones.
A masked woman, Lilith, kneels on a wooden scaffold and carves a marble wall covered with the relief of a tree heavy with fruit. A golden serpent winds around her, its sinuous body catching the light. Below, the fragmented head of a colossal statue lies half-buried in stone. Thin lines of gold run through the composition like veins of memory, linking Lilith’s gesture, the serpent, and the fallen face. The atmosphere is quiet, sacred, and timeless.

[FRANÇAIS TEXTE ALTERNATIF]
Une œuvre onirique aux teintes sépia et dorées.
Une femme masquée, Lilith, agenouillée sur un échafaudage de bois, sculpte dans le marbre la façade d’un arbre chargé de fruits. Autour d’elle, le Serpent d’Or s’enroule, son corps lumineux suivant le mouvement de la main qui taille. En dessous repose la tête brisée d’une statue colossale. De fines lignes d’or traversent la scène, reliant le geste de Lilith, le serpent et le visage effondré. L’atmosphère est silencieuse, sacrée, hors du temps.

Anyone who follows @majnouna.com knows she is a phenomenal artist and scholar at the cutting edge of experimental archaeology. This book holds illustrated guides to all the medieval ink recipes she's managed to recreate. I really want a copy, so please support her kickstarter to print a new edition!

Joumana Medlej @majnouna.com · 2d

Is there anyone on Bsky who remembers this book? It's been out of print for a while, because it needs revising in the light of 5 more years of research & experience (including a proper translation of Umdat ul-Kuttab). Being unpaid work, I've simply not been able to prioritise this, so I've decided…

Cover of "Inks & Paints of the Middle East: A handbook of Abbasid Art Technology", with a geometric composition displaying some of the main pigments involved, with brushes and paint pans made of walnut shells.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Teorema (1968) does an excellent job of showcasing how exquisite and horrifying (and hot) angels can be.

Teorema (1968) inspired me to do gesture drawings tonight. I love sketching out wrinkles, folds, and eyes.

Pen sketched of people’s profiles, eyes, etc.

Also, this film does a good job of showing how gorgeous brown eyes are. Like, yes, Terence Stamp's blue eyes are preternaturally beautiful.

But the film also does this way of shooting the brown-eyed actors where you get lost in their gazes too, especially as how shadow and light dances across them.

Watching Teorema (1968) and I find it relatable. I too would submit to Terence Stamp.
