Better idea. Rent a whole bunch of porta-potties of different colors and arrange them in ROYGBIV rainbow order. Make signs that say: “Dear ICE, please feel free to use our complimentary gender neutral bathrooms.”

Chinese light show on display after dark at the Buffalo Zoo. Against the mostly black background is a diagonal row of silk-covered wire shapes lit from within. Water lilies and butterflies make up this particular arrangement. All the colors of the rainbow are present in the wings, petals, and leaves.

ROYGBIV always hits home with my love for Boards of Canada, as well as the quality cover that STS9 does.

Sick show so far 🙏🏻

100 days of Halloween - 100 spooky watercolors #43 “Boo” #art #watercolor #painting #illustration Message me if you would like me to send you a Halloween card

I really enjoyed making this one. It’s got a lot of what makes the painting a “Patric Painting” as my wife is known to say.

There are sometimes when I really enjoy a painting for the absurdity. Sometimes I feel like I nail a painting and this is one of those times (though that usually means I haven’t nailed it). I have to be aware of feeling like a painting is successful, it’s a recipe for disappointment.

For Color theory nerds: I’m aware that I wrote “ROYGBP” (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple) and some people would say id should be “ROYGBV” or “ROYGBIV” but I like the word “purple”. I also use this as a basic 6 color artistic color wheel for painting purposes and, so tend to leave out indigo (just for my shorthand)

I also love Boards of Canada, so maybe I should have done it “ROYGBIV” :D

Thank you for listening to my tangent

It's a spectrum. Always has been. Always will be. We humans prefer black and white or even ROYGBIV. We simplify things so we can grasp them in our little tiny brains. Doesn't matter. It's always been a spectrum. There's "dark" matter and energy out there we can't even see. Can't fathom it all.

My first embroidery that is not labelled as for beginners. The kit calls it a Floral Rainbow Sampler but it’s not ROYGBIV so it’s a floral arch.

I didn’t notice it was sitting a bit high in the hoop until after I had trimmed the excess fabric, but that may bug me forevermore.

An embroidery of flowers using a variety of stitches arranged in an arch shape. The embroidery is mounted in a wooden hoop.

Stained glass windows and their doubles made of sunlight.

For #FensterFreitag (submitting early, as I’ll be on the road soon). More info in the alt text.
#photography #urbanphotography #streetphotography #windows #WindowFriday #subway #nyc

A row of laminated glass windows stretches across the wall of an elevated subway station and recedes into the distance (converging with a line of fluorescent lights on the ceiling). The colored glass panels feature abstract circular compositions that evoke the sun, moon, and other aspects of the cosmos, all done in different rainbow hues. Sunlight streams through the windows and projects their designs onto the floor in colorful squares of light.

This is part of an art installation titled “I AM A RAINBOW TOO,” by the Choctaw-Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson, at the Astoria Blvd station in Queens, NY. According to the MTA website, the installation “honors and reflects the evolving and diverse population of people from countless backgrounds and cultures that make up the communities in Astoria, Queens and New York City overall. The artwork focuses on the ROYGBIV colors of the light spectrum, which has long been used by many communities to reflect diversity, inclusivity, and hope. Through this artwork, Gibson embraces and celebrates innumerable cultures by inserting a spectrum of skin tones into the already recognizable rainbow color scheme.”

Hurry.
Get out there and paint the squad cars ROYGBIV.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · Aug 26

1. The situation in Florida is growing more tense with the erasure of Pride crosswalks.

After state officials painted over the Pulse Memorial sidewalk in Orlando, Florida Citizens painted them back.

Now the state has sent 7 squad cars to stare at the crosswalk.

Caran, the Stitchy Frood

@stitchyfrood.com

My first contribution to #CrochetAway 🧶 is a collection of finished & wip parasols not shawls, but close maybe?

Doilies, and eventually parasols, kept me crocheting after an injury to my hand stopped me from making amigurumi. Now they’re my favorite!

#GayPride #NonBinaryPride #TransPride #rainbows

A completed parasol is opened facing the camera. The yarn is Hobbii Sultan and fades gradually through the ROYGBIV rainbow which I intend to be for gay Pride. This pattern is not my own, but is available for free from Meu Mundo Crafts.

A collection of small 12” pride flag parasols lay on a black desktop. In the foreground is a wip non binary pride. Behind that is a trans pride finished little parasol. Off to the left is a small new start white parasol that will be hand-dyed.

A 48” parasol is opened facing and held aloft by the photographer. This pattern is from Ira Rott. The yarn is a custom mix of Hobbii Sultan that I made myself in pastels: yellow, orange, purple, and pink.

A 35” parasol is a pattern of my own design and it’s open facing the camera. This parasol has a pastel rainbow that’s starts at purple and fades through the colors to red at the edge. The pattern features different flower motifs.

An update to my `crayons` package is now on CRAN. The main change is to use my other `palette` package for the palette class. `palette` provides a set of generics for color schemes in R, like plot() and print(), seen below, and pillar generics. #rstats
