Spectacular octopus from the floor of the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in ancient Herculaneum.

This magnificent #Roman monochrome mosaic makes quite an impact!

My photo shows a black and white floor mosaic with a depiction of a very striking octopus in the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in ancient Herculaneum. The octopus with eight writhing arms is composed of small black tesserae (tiles) laid in a white tesserae background

Our Black Knight butterfly bush is about to blossom out and, frankly, I'm scared!

2 older poems came up on my FB memories today - "Letter to the Broom Moss" from Poet Lore and "Landings" from the Aurorean - very happy these poems found their perfect homes with those journals - thank you to the extraordinary editors: Jody Bolz, E. Ethelbert Miller, and Cynthia Brackett-Vincent

I'm recalling fresh loaves of flat bread literally down the street from our apartment in Hamburg, Germany...they would sell me a couple of loaves right from the oven for 1 DM - before the euro. Heaven.

function and inspiration - you can't miss with that...and it's gorgeous. I think I started with the coffee mug and weakened when I saw the large tumbler, hoping for greater motherfuckerhood.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
