Time to post one of my favorite old illustrations. :)
I created it for a group show resolving around botanical visuals. During this time I read a lot about the ISS and how they grew plants in there to test botanical behavior, which also sparked dreams about deep space travels.

A common canard about the civil war is that it was about states rights, or that the union didn't care about slavery and...like all good lies, there is an element of truth there

But only an element - it ignores the fact that the war directly exposed the union troops DIRECTLY too slavery

Post by user @jamellebouie.net that reads, "from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"

Nothing made slavery's toxicity more obvious to Union troops than its effect on the fundamental unit of society, the family. For one thing, slave sales separated families. In the Upper Sout, where many Union soldiers were stationed in 1861, about one in three first marriages was broken by sale, and about half of all slave children were separated from at least one parent. With their own eyes, soldiers saw slavery snap bonds between parents and children. The men of the Seventh Wisconsin were awakened by gunshots one November night. The following day, soldiers "learned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro women—a mother and a daughter." The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the "goodlooking" daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage. Outraged by the plight and moved by the vulnerability of the mother and daughter, "every private in the ranks" cursed "that system which tramples on the honor of man, and makes merchandise of the virtue of women," according to one member of the regiment. When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, "By G-d I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on."

Interesting!!!! That's often cited as one of the weaker parts of the movie by fans, I don't agree as it is the heart of the movie's lesson through Rose. And I imagining how much it might have hurt to have it be criticized so much.

Had a fantastic time at the Knives Out screening w/ Rian Johnson Q&A. Nia DaCosta was an excellent moderator and the discussion was fascinating - I was particularly interested to hear how personal Finn's storyline in TLJ was to Rian (he compared it to his own experience of leaving religion).

the Latin Mass is a perfect example of this. 25 years ago it was for monks and nerds. now it is for misogynist white supremacist antisemites. but Leo would have come up in a Kennedy Catholic world, where in American cities, rosaries and Latin chanting could fully coexist with civil rights protests

Some clergy are begging to be allowed closer to the detention center to perform communion.

"You are preventing our religious freedom," someone in the crowd shouts.

Daily bunny no.3103 wants to show off their collection

A bunny with thick glasses shows another bunny their room, which is full of colorful mushrooms being cultivated both around the room and in a drawer. The other bunny looks mildly grossed out. There is also a poster showing different mushroom species on the wall

It kinda feels like the frog has been taken back from fascists 10 years after they made Pepe their symbol. Now it's a joyful inflatable frog suit guy resisting them.
