Here comes Pernille! She's a bad ass and will handle the kidnappers with one hand tied behind her back.

Snow! We have a tiny bit of persistent snow today as well (on Lake Superior's south shore).

A Mexican jay in a silver-leaf oak. Mexican jays are always yakking about in the oaks here in the Chiricahuas. Multi-block print plus 4 color reduction for the jay.

Pencil sketches of Mexican jays for tomorrow's linocut (only 10 more days of this residency, alas! There are so many things to carve in the high desert).

Hot pink Javelina in the Chiricahuas. They are goofballs! #printsky #linocut #reliefprintmaking #javelinas

Our system requires telehealth visits to take place in a local clinic for reimbursement. This means that my rheumatologist is 4 states away, and I see her at the local hospital via zoom. Perhaps yours can make a similar arrangement? The new Medicare rules apply to telehealth at home, not a clinic

what's with the creepy Hitler mustaches????

There's a certain set of shared values underlying Jeffrey Epstein saying "She's not here for you" to Trump about a woman he was abusing and Trump complaining that Epstein was "stealing" his people.

The work is wonderful, although the prices seem very, very low. Are you on Etsy? Facebook? Instagram? Tiktok? It's great you're doing local art fairs.

it looks like a martagon lily--Lilium martagon

Wonderful! We are both so lucky to live in places where all this can happen. When I despair of politics, I walk along Lake Superior and listen for wolves and the snuffling of bears.

Democracy and science have collapsed in the US--but the dog still needs to be fed and walked, the garden weeded, the dishes washed. It's hard to wrap my mind around all this.

The attack on science in this Big Brutal Bill is horrific: 56% cut to NSF; 73% cut to grad student fellowships; 39% cut to USGS; 100% cut to ecosystem sciences; etc etc. From today's Guardian.

Not as amazing as Trump’s puppets in Congress, alas

This is grim:

On “July 7, 2025, the National Archives at College Park, MD, will become a restricted-access federal facility with access only for visitors with a legitimate business need. It will no longer be open to the general public.”

“Legitimate” is not defined.
