Abolish ICE!!! US militarism is out of control and needs to be stopped. Don’t look away, don’t stay silent, don’t comply. Keep filming ICE, report sightings, and know your rights. Your silence will not protect you; dehumanization anywhere is a threat to humanity everywhere.

"How do you know but every bird
That cuts the airy way
Is an immense world of delight
Closed by your senses five?"

🌾 Coloured engravings of heaths: London: Published by the Author. Printed by T. Bensley, 1802-09 [1830?]

[Source]
Historical botanical engraving of a heath plant (Erica tenuiflora cunea) featuring a tall, slender branch with dense, needle-like green leaves. The branch is adorned with numerous bell-shaped, pale pink flowers clustered around the stems, each with delicate, slightly flared tips. Below the main illustration are small detailed sketches of floral parts, highlighting the plant’s reproductive structures. The illustration is finely detailed and colored, set against a plain, aged beige background typical of early 19th-century botanical prints.

It was peak.
But the more I watch the newer crop of shows, the clearer it becomes that they keep mistaking volatility for romance, manufacturing blowups with only marginally amusing payoffs. And yet, even at their most chaotic or earnest, none of them has yet to come close to topping Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City's infamous omurice incident. A TV moment that still occupies real estate in my frontal lobe.

Bare Tree behind a Fence, 1912
https://botfrens.com/collections/88/contents/25204
This painting by Egon Schiele, 'Bare Tree behind a Fence,' captures the stark, expressive lines of a leafless tree against a textured, muted background, illustrating Schiele's characteristic exploration of isolation and desolation. The bold, contrasting brushstrokes highlight the ominous barrier of the fence, adding depth and tension to the barren landscape.

Madras: Higginbotham, 1873.

[Source]
Illustration titled "Athyrium Gymnogrammides" from 1873, depicting detailed botanical drawings of a fern native to southern India. The central focus is a large, finely divided fern frond with multiple intricate leaflets. Surrounding the main frond are three smaller drawings: two alternate leaf shapes showing spore patterns on the undersides, and a close-up of a circular spore cluster. The black line art emphasizes delicate vein structures and reproductive features typical of ferns, presented on a pale background. The plate is labeled "PLATE CLVI" and includes publication details at the bottom.
