this is just cool

the part of the article thay goes into the history of gendered pronouns in China is also super neat, i didn't know that

www.cnn.com/2025/12/25/c...

Soon you may be able to type a new Chinese character: the gender-neutral pronoun | CNN

Chinese pronouns are largely split between female and male – prompting LGBTQ activists to invent their own gender-neutral pronoun. That movement just took a big step forward.

The winds are hard enough that Gävlebocken fell.

The traditional Gävle goat has fallen forward onto the ground from hard winds.

My turn to lie on the floor after ingesting substances (specifically, potatoes. lots of potatoes.)

Photo taken while lying on the floor, looking up the face of my refrigerator at my kitchen ceiling. Just above the fridge, a black-and-white cat peers down at me from an open cabinet

WINTER’S GLOW (2012)
Acrylic on Yupo Paper - 12” x 12”

I wasn’t feeling in the holiday spirit, and as usual it took a painting to get me into the mood of the season.

Don Maitz first recommended “Yupo paper” to me, and I was pleased with how the sheet he lent me handled acrylics. 1/13

A woman stands like the queen of winter glancing off panel left with a stately air as two cardinals—one gold, one red—perch on her extended fingers as she cups one hand in another. Her gown is ethereal as the white lace of the sleeves sparkle like white holiday lights. The gold tinted silk of her dress puffs slightly at the shoulder, accented with lines of regal purple until tied off with a thin golden bow. Set at the center on her forehead is a blue-green gem bound in a gold inlaid oval. Her hair is a full white mane held back by a band of holly, berries, and flowers—subdued in color but mostly gold—in a variety of blooms. The night sky is alive with traces of cirrus clouds sweeping past a crescent moon. An owl takes flight past her shoulder. A deer huddles close.

Heard rustling. Looked up. Hello, beautiful!

In a photo tinged by the red light of the traffic light and the neon of the gas station sign, a very healthy looking red fox with glossy fur pauses in its rounds and evaluates the human on the porch, staring directly at the camera, extremely bushy tail down and ears perked forward in interest
