hi friends, i am excited to share with you a new art project i've been working on for quite some time!
it's a collage series called "propriety and grace: images of women".
TLDR: cute animals wearing elegant kimonos on beautiful orchid backgrounds.
available here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HawaiiInks
story behind the series: i found the book "Japanese Kimono Paper Dolls" by Ming-ju Sun (published in 1986) in a thrift store & thought "i just have to use these in an art project." i decided to put these elegant kimonos on animals. at the same time, i found the book "Orchids: Wonders of Nature" by Takashi Kijima (published in 1987), and the photos turned out to make perfect backgrounds.
the title of the series ("grace and propriety: images of women") comes directly from the orchid book, where many of the orchids are described as women at various stages of life, and as various kinds of beauties (it's kind of weird). anyway, i thought it would be funny to call this series that features 0 women "images of women", but they *are* full of grace and propriety, imo! and in kimonos, they do all become ~ladies~ 😄 .
i am very happy with how these came out. i worked on them for quite some time, getting them just right, and i think that you will be happy to have any of them hanging in your home, office, etc., or given as a gift.
thank you for your support and please RT if you think your followers might be interested 💗

Thinking about that time my boomer neighbor told me that I'd have an easier time in life if I just tried to fit in more. That's like telling Wednesday Addams that she might want to try fitting in more. I resisted telling her "oh that ship sailed a long time ago, friend." I don't even think it's possible for me to fit in, but also, why??
That was always my big question, even in high school. Why would I *want* to look like and be like everyone else? That's boring as hell.
Anyway, it was an interesting insight into her MO. I hope that her efforts to fit in have brought her whatever benefits she hoped it would.
Also, I recently watched this video with Korean teens meeting "women you can't see everyday" and it's like ... A curvy gal, a weight lifting gal, a tattoo gal... And at the beginning, all of the teens say that they basically never see different-looking people. Can their area really be so uniform?? https://youtu.be/gY3uaKdvtb0?si=bBAxwS_4M4_L9OU5

At my next job, i hope to not be in over my head for the entirety of the job.
i've had a number of jobs where i was in the deep end, with no guidance, no support, and where the work required was way over my abilities going into it. in all those cases, i developed serious anxiety (which famously blocks calm thinking and reasoning through a problem) and drowned. maybe others might've been able to rise to the occasion and succeed in those situations, but i didn't. so this is why i hope to not have a job in the future where i constantly feel like i'm way in over my head.

Sobriety sux, except for all the exceptional benefits to physical/mental/emotional health ... The ability to not feel like you're in a nightmare loop of using and shame... The ability to feel like you're actually possibly maybe able to move forward in life... The ability to not feel chained to an addiction and feeling like you can't handle life without the addiction. So many benefits!!!
It's pretty annoying to have to put one's health first, but for me, things rapidly fall apart if I don't make health a priority. Like, I can't cut corners with health...no matter how much I try 😅

This morning, for the first time since the beginning of the fitness journey, I woke up and thought "I'm gonna go jog, I'm gonna come back, and then I'll do the rest of the day." Which I consider a big win, because it means that my brain treated jogging as a default instead of an option (like, "should I or shouldn't I, I don't want to, but I do," etc.).
So I'm very happy that I had the brain on board this morning. The body is, of course, still struggling, but that's what the fitness journey is about. And the brain is really the important part: if the brain doesn't want, then nothing happens.
Also, here are the stunning cattleya orchid blooms that I get to see at a neighbor's place at the terminal point of my jog (the place where I take a breather and then head back) 😻. Seeing these orchids is my treat for getting to the terminal point.
As an aside, I probably have the CPTSD symptom called "mood dependent behavior", which means that you mainly do things only when you feel like it, and you have a very difficult time developing habits or getting yourself to do things when you don't feel like it. Working on the "mood dependent behavior" thing is the current big thing I'm working on with my CPTSD. Not easy, but I'm trying. Just a little bit every day.

for me, the only easy thing about jogging is stopping.
but i've decided to jog, and so i'm doing some light jogging a couple times a week.
neither my body nor my brain want this, but the positive effects on both are undeniable.
so here we are.
i guess i just have to remind myself that once i was able to run all the way around lake merritt! (granted, i was an oakland bike girl back then, and was about 15 pounds lighter, but hey....)
and there are some unexpected benefits, like seeing the giant cattleya blooms at the house of a neighbor, or seeing a beautiful raptor that had a white head, white front, and dark wings and back. and the benefits to my anxiety situation are immense. boohoo lol.
i just need to be grateful that i have the time and space to do this exercise, and hope that it'll get easier over time. 😭

Oh great: "Since 2022, Elon Musk and SpaceX has requested larger and larger landing areas near Hawai‘i for their experimental rocket, Starship. Now, the aerospace company is seeking federal approval to launch more frequently and to land even closer to Hawaiʻi, with the current proposal being over 20 times the size of the initial request.
Hawaiʻi stakeholders have never been consulted in the environmental review process. That is not necessary, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, because “the Starship vehicle is planned to land outside of range for impacts to the residents of Hawai’i.”"

"A simple, imperturbable closed system that’s also ludicrous, fantastical, a fairy tale. In the circular flow diagram of standard economics, nothing enters from the outside to keep it flowing, and nothing exits as a result of the flow. There are no resource inputs from the environment: no oil, coal, or natural gas, no minerals and metals, no water, soil, or food. There are no outputs into the ecosphere: no garbage, no pollution, no greenhouse gasses. That’s because in the circular flow diagram, there is no ecosphere, no environment. The economy is seen as a self-renewing, perpetual-motion merry-go-round set in a vacuum.
“I taught that foolish little diagram to undergraduates at Louisiana State University for 30 years,” the late Herman Daly, one of the 20th century’s great dissenters from standard economics, told me in an interview before his death at age 84 last year. “I thought it was just great. I was well beyond a Ph.D. before it came crashing in on my head that this is a very bad paradigm.”" - https://www.localfutures.org/when-idiot-savants-do-climate-science/

In case you were wondering what the endgame of mass incarceration is, here is its purest form:
"No state has a longer, more profit-driven history of contracting prisoners out to private companies than Alabama. With a sprawling labor system that dates back more than 150 years — including the brutal convict leasing era that replaced slavery — it has constructed a template for the commercialization of mass incarceration.
Best Western, Bama Budweiser and Burger King are among the more than 500 businesses to lease incarcerated workers from one of the most violent, overcrowded and unruly prison systems in the U.S. in the past five years alone, The Associated Press found as part of a two-year investigation into prison labor. The cheap, reliable labor force has generated more than $250 million for the state since 2000 through money garnished from prisoners’ paychecks."

Bears as huckleberry dispersers: ""Bears don't just eat huckleberries—they help them grow in new places," says lead researcher Aza Fynley Kuijt, from UBC's Faculty of Forestry."
"Researchers found that seeds consumed and defecated by bears had significantly higher germination rates (up to 28.5%) compared to seeds left inside intact berries (0.2%). The key factor is the removal of germination inhibitors in the berry pulp during digestion.
Using GPS data from 74 collared grizzly bears, the study estimated that bears disperse 50% of consumed seeds at least one kilometer away from their feeding sites, with potential maximum distances of up to seven kilometers."

**rubs forehead and mutters to self**: as if we don't have enough problems:
"the choice to burn up satellites in the atmosphere may pose a significant risk to the Earth’s climate and the ozone layer, through the resulting alteration of atmospheric chemistry. . . . with a typical satellite weighing of order 1,000 kg [2,200 lb], and being primarily metallic, the steady state injection of metals into the stratosphere by vaporization of satellites would be at least 8,000 tons per year."

I'm not great at drawing, and many drawing techniques don't make sense to me. However, I find that drawing with contour lines makes a lot of sense and helps me shape an object.
Here's sculptor Henry Moore talking about a unique form of contour line drawing that he developed for himself: "Around the late 1920s, I found a personal way of describing three- dimensional form, using line, without light and shade. I let my pencil follow an imagined horizontal section of the form I was drawing and then change direction, at right angles, to follow the vertical section. These ‘sectional lines’ are a shorthand method of describing three-dimensional form."
Here are a few examples of the technique. It's very nice and I might try adopting it myself next time I need to draw!
Quote and images are from the book "Henry Moore: drawings 1969-79"

If you have Netflix, you may enjoy the documentary "buy now", about marketing strategies to get people to buy more stuff (with a big focus on online shopping), and about the waste of all the overproduction of stuff (including e-waste, plastics, clothes, and more).
It has a lot of interesting visuals, from 3D models, to animations, and even a weird glitchy robot-voice song.

@nprofile…vlvm hear hear. Plus the bear doesn't want you for creepy purposes. The bear isn't going to follow you on the street because they want to corner you for some creepy reason. They won't ask you a random question on the street because they're actually trying to put the moves on you. And a bear will never try to lure you into their hotel room or spike your drink. Sadly, with most encounters I have with random men, it turns out they want something from me. Something creepy and gross.
Anyway, most bears don't want to be around people. All the times that I've seen bears, they've been running away.

Very interesting study in PNAS about how learning happens in hunter gatherer societies. Relevant because this is how humans lived for 99% of human history. Also relevant for anyone interested in fostering cultures where people are able to collaborate and live with the land:
"The broad informal learning network in hunter-gatherer societies is made possible by intimate living conditions. Small camps, usually consisting of 25-35 individuals living in homes a few feet from each other, create an environment where children can observe and interact with a wide range of people.
This allows them to learn essential skills, including caring for infants and cooking as well as hunting and gathering, through a process that is often subtle and nonverbal.
The study also highlights the importance of egalitarianism, respect for individual autonomy and extensive sharing in shaping how cultural knowledge is passed down among hunter gatherers. For example, children learn the importance of equality and autonomy by observing the behavior of adults and children around them.
They are not coerced into learning but are given the freedom to explore and practice skills on their own, fostering a deep understanding of their culture.
“This approach to learning contributes to what we call ‘cumulative culture’—the ability to build on existing knowledge and pass it down through generations,” Hewlett said."

@npub1ugl…yvd7 that post looks like a bunch of AI-generated photos and someone seeing those photos and going "yep, Elon's making robo babes".

@npub1ugl…yvd7 don't forget that the manual is smoking, playing cards, and has singed pages 😅

@npub17gd…a8lw by any chance, have you read "dust" by Jay Owens? I think it might be relevant to your clean air interests.

@npub17gd…a8lw think of it as organized degrowth vs disorganized. Presumably planned degrowth would include social protections for the populace.

@npub1ugl…yvd7 that sounds incredibly wise. I try to go with what the weather is telling me, and I feel very successful with that approach! The wise jungle-shack-dweller doesn't try to work in the midday sun, ya know?

@npub1ugl…yvd7 then just brew a big thing of tea in the AM and drink it all day as it cools (that's what I do)

@npub1ugl…yvd7 if you have a fridge, you can brew tea and keep it in the fridge. Healthier than soda, and a nice change from water.

@npub1ugl…yvd7 ok here goes: what's the story with the NHI (like the grey aliens n stuff)? What do the denizens of the spirit realm have to say (if anything )about who they are?

Gold dust day gecko. Our most common (and most beautiful) gecko. This is also the model for the gecko in GEICO commercials.

(While most of the plants in the photo are not blooming, this small patch includes anthurium, hibiscus, and green jade vine blossoms. Can you spot them all?)

@npub1sne…m70q i think of cars as abstracting away the world around you while you're in the car. you are separated from the noise of the highway, the people on the street, the weather outside, etc.
