Reminds me of a Nick Cave soundsuit!
A person wearing multicolored striped tights is enveloped in a costume that makes them very tall and conceals the upper part of their body. The costume is made of long fur in blotches of various bright colors, and the person is jumping or dancing so that the fur flies around in all directions

If you're traveling by subway, the Times Square Station has the most amazing mosiacs of Nick Cave's art; I route through there every time I'm in NYC just to marvel at them.
A mosaic-covered wall stretches down a tiled hallway, curving away to the left. The mosaics feature larger-then-human sized images of costume sculptures made by the artist Nick Cave (not the musician of the Bad Seeds). They typically cover the body entirely, and feature accumulations of materials like fur, mirrors, buttons or childrens' toys, and they are designed to make sounds as one moves, and to amplify the bodies' movements in ways that are celebratory and ritualistic. In the mosaic, the translation into tiny bits of tile is spectacularly achieved, creating a really magical effect. The figures are surrounded by rings of colored tiles that evoke both energetic emanations and the layered colors in a geode.

Lit candle in a dish on the sidewalk. The shadow falling over the candle shows that someone is sitting on the sidewalk, watching the candle as it burns down.

Sitting in front of my house with the candle my step-sister made for me. It's a suburb, so nobody came by, but it was good anyway.

Rest in peace, Alex Pretti, may your memory be a blessing
Rolled beeswax candle flame against a dark background The same candle but now you can see that it is in a dish on the sidewalk and there is a person's shadow indicating that someone is sitting next to it on the ground watching as it burns down.

Check this out, the lovely handwriting of Prince Rogers Nelson
page of lined paper torn from a spiral-bound notebook has the lyrics to the Prince song Purple Rain in quite lovely handwriting. Prince clearly was taught oldschool US penmanship and stuck to those very formal and conservative letterforms in a way that's surprising given that he was such an iconoclastic innovator in music

Ooh! Strong markets and stable trade!

What about: not shot in the face by masked ICE agents when we're dropping our kids off to school?

Or: no old men yanked out of the homes in the snow in their underwear?

Or: no masked ICE agents pepper-spraying us in the face while handcuffed on the ground?
Five-year-old Liam Ramos is wearing a bunny hat as ICE agents kidnap him to use him as bait to be able to arrest and detain his parents prior to sending them from their home is Minnesota to Texas.

It comes from letterpress, when type was cast in metal at a foundry. The word derives from a French word for casting. A font is a set of type of one size and type; i.e. a font of 10 point Bodoni.

oh dear
Gradated blue-green square, dark at the top edge and light at the bottom edge. The Merriam-Webster logo is in the top left corner with the words 'your 2026 word' to the right. In the middle of the square is my word for 2026, in black type: bougie

Cover of the 1995 album Train a Comin' by Steve Earle; depicts Earle with Roy Orbison-style sunglasses and a cigarette, playing the guitar, all of it in a very scratchy and battered-looking poster style of sepia ink and clumsy vernacular typography

We went curling for my sister's birthday a few years ago and our local (Oakland CA) curling community is VERY deliberately diverse; they told us that curling usually is one of the very whitest sports but they are trying to go the other way with it here.
Picture of an indoor curling facility withe the stones ranged on the ice. The photo also shows two of the 'houses', round target areas on the ice, including one that says 'Black Lives Matter' and one with the colors of the LGBTQ flag

It's also the title of a book
The yellow cover of a book entitled 'your heart is a muscle the size of a fist' by Sunil Yapa. The cover features also a rough, slightly graffiti-style, image of a human eye with a drip of paint that looks like normal graffiti paint dripping but also evokes a tear

Actress Louise Fletcher, who played the venomous Kai Wynn on DS9 and Nurse Ratchett in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. This image is of her as Kai Wynn; she's wearing a yellow brocade hat and a complicated silver earring on her left ear. Her blonde hair is wound up in an intricate bun and she's wearing an expression of fake concern covering real dismay.

I have no idea what's going on here but it's a black and white photo of a person's upper body and head wearing what seems to be a helmet made of food and plumbing supplies? There's a caption but I don;t know what language it is, lots of z's and k's and diacritical marks all over the place

Caught the very last of the Monarch cocoons and was able to get the timelapse video I'd been hoping for! (the big moment is 15 seconds in; in real life this was almost 30 minutes)

Love the Maxfield Parrish vibe of your colors here
Painting by Maxfield Parrish of ladies wearing vaguely toga-ish robes lounging under a tree with a lake (or maybe field) and mountains in the distance. The colors are all very heightened, from the dappled amber sunlight falling on the ladies in the foreground to the blue and orange and purple mountains in the distance and the turquoise water or maybe grass in the middle.

The little one to the right will be like the big fatty on the left in a few days. This photo is from yesterday; today the fat boy is hanging motionless upside-down on a nearby plant. Tomorrow it'll be a cocoon for sure.

those mikes always make me think of the wool dauber things that come with a bottle of leather dye
three wire-handled tools in the background; each has a round pompom of wool at the end. Superimposed in the foreground is an enlarged image of the wool pompom

But not the Brontës! The GOAT Kate Beaton has their number I tell you
cartoon by the fantastic fabulous Kate Beaton titled 'Dude Watchin' with the Brontës". 8 black and white panels with Charlotte and Emily ogling grumpy douchebags ("so passionate" "so mysterious" ) while Anne points out that all the guys Charlotte and Emily like are jerks. They respond by saying with her taste in men no wonder her books don't sell

It's been an issue on the left for as long as I've been alive, for sure. "Join our movement and these cute females will open their legs for you" barf barf barf.
Poster from the 60's of three young women sitting on a sofa, bare-legged and wearing slouchy hats and coy looks. The text reads "Girls Say Yes to Boys Who Say No"

1980. Perfect except for the n-word, which they don't say anymore when they're performing.
The cover of the 1980 album by X, Los Angeles. It shows a flaming X on a black background, as if it is a cross being burnt on someone's lawn but turned 90 degrees to be an X instead
