Here's the new painting, The Wind Doesn't Blow This Far Right.
(So named because I was obsessively replaying the new Lisa O'Neil song as I began painting it, and it felt right)

Good morning! This is some street art in Portland that I love!
Here she is ‘Attitude of Gratitude’
by London artist Fin DAC
The hair of this mural in SE Portland is made of thousands of living plants.🌱
Looks like she is actually five stories tall. One of my favorite murals in the city. #pdx

A few photos from 'Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt' at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Portland State University.
Master Printmaker Julia D’Amario gave a wonderful talk about Watt’s early prints made at Sitka, which included ones exploring insomnia and sleep.

Mushrooms often do look like mutants. Here, we got a Black King Oyster Mushroom Kit for my youngest from a mushroom festival.
We were supposed to open the plastic envelope when it started pinning.
We forgot.
And when we did cut it open this was what was inside. 🍄🟫 🧟♀️

Now that’s the largest Rosecomb Chanterelle I’ve ever seen! Looked like a brain on the forest floor.
I’ve never heard a satisfying answer as to why this rosette growth pattern happens.

“One of the theories out there is the reason why memories can be so fallible or warpable is because by recombining the building blocks of our past, we can imagine ourselves in the future.“

For @nautil.us, @okaysteve.bsky.social spoke with Kevin Berger about his new book, How to Change a Memory. Read the full interview here:

Happy Whalesplosion Day to all who celebrate. Today we remember all mad, bad, and just plain wtf ideas.
It’s 12 November, so it’s time to mark the 55th anniversary of the exploding whale of Oregon, an attempt to clear a cetacean carcass from a beach which prompted one reporter to say “The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds”

Last night out with a friend I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw what looks like the ‘Attitude of Gratitude’ mural in Portland ( that version is over two stories tall complete with living plants to make up her hair on the side of a building). Lovely to see a smaller version.
The living hair!

I just finished ‘The Coming Wave’ which is about AI and a bit about synthetic biology.
Much of it is a history lesson on how technology transformers and disrupts society.
I’m fascinated by what is left out! In one of the later chapters it simply states “ChatGPT was banned in Italy“

#sciartseptember prompt: Dream
During REM your brainwaves on an EEG look similar to when you are awake but your body is paralyzed! This state sometimes weaves strange yet meaningful connections.
‘Vernal Dreams’ draws on imagery from a sleep diary & uses sleep data to explore our nocturnal world.

Came upon a forest ranger documenting fungi.They had a list of species they were cataloging. The cauliflower 🍄🟫 (sp. Sparassis crispa) was listed.
I shared the coordinates & details of where I’d found them in that forest. She was very grateful.
Maybe it was karma; I found another one 30min later!
