As I walked down the George St under the plane trees, chants around me interrupted by coughs, I realised urban planners had invented non-lethal anti-protest weapons before the police could

I'm already obsessed with this idea. If we did for Hallowe'en what we do for Christmas (seasonally adjust), what would that look like?

Michelle @schadenfrieda.bsky.social · 1d

A sudden thought as I walk past a Hallowe'en display in autumnal colours: does anyone do/has anyone ever seen Hallowe'en done with full embrace of the fact it's late spring? I don't mean the kind that just sticks to pop cultural sorts of tropes.

And there's no fucking professional support you can call on -- can't call the cops and the medical system is overwhelmed.

There are two types of covers for mid-century classical LPs. There's the boring, safe "slap some old master painting on it & some titles in a basic serif font" and then there's the more fun "I've been to art school and I like Shapes and Getting Weird With Them"

The album cover for a recording of Paul Tortelier playing C.P.E. Bach and Haydn. It features Vermeer's 'Lady seated at a virginal' - an oil painting of a woman playing a keyboard instrument, wearing a sumptuous gown.

Album cover for a recording of Mozart's Requiem. It features a page from a mediaeval illuminated manuscript.

Album cover for a recording of Liszt's music. The art is a stylised rendition of the composers face, made up of coloured polygons.

Album cover for a recording of a Dvorak symphony. Ut is illustrated with a bold, stylised landscape of bared, black trees against an orange background. Above the trees hovers a huge black bird.
