Detail from ELLIE'S DREAM with a ribbon of white holding the caption "25K FOLLOWERS". Painting description: A girl in pink shirt and blue jeans perches atop a hollow framework of metal that snakes upward. Most of the painting is clear atmospheric background as the metal structure twists and turns up into the blue sky, seemingly reaching where the gibbous moon hangs. Ellie has a perfect view propping herself at the top of the structure with arms locked so that her upper body reaches above the support. In the immediate foreground right we get the barest sliver of a rooftop, but it's not clear if the metal structure is supported by it or rises up just beyond it.

Milestone achieved...thank you to our 25k followers! Wow!

ICE agents in the Park Ave neighborhood spark large-scale protest The group shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents in the ICE-led action drove a Border Patrol SUV away on four flat tires, which had been slashed.

Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in Rochester, NY, after being confronted by more than 100 protesters

The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed

Etsy popup ad with tagline “back to school on etsy.” There are eight images of young women, most of which have an uncanny valley a.i. vibe: 1. woman at the beach, in bikini bottoms and a shirt that says “respect the locals” with a picture of a shark 2. blonde woman with shirt that says “W.I.F.E., wonderful individual fantastic everything” 3. woman with back turned to camera, tight shorts and a backprint t-shirt I can’t make out. She is, you guessed it, on a beach. 4. This is the really weird one. A hand holding what looks like a 3d printed half of a snake, but it is also roughly the size and shape of a sex toy. 5. A woman standing in front of a dark industrial background, wearing a sort of sci fi bikini outfit that would not have been out of place in the Fifth Element, except it is yellow and orange. 6. A young woman with a t-shirt that says “my husband says that I am a 10, but so are my miles til empty” with a fuel gauge 7 and 8: two more young women in skimpy outfits, one is standing, surprise, on a beach

what … does etsy think happens in school

One of our “green new scam” research grants that USDOT terminated focused on making transit infrastructure more resilient to more frequent and severe weather events. But “climate change adaptation” was too woke, obviously, and doing this research is clearly unnecessary

meme format where a man from an anime is looking at a butterfly and asks if it's a pigeon, but instead the man is Americans, the butterfly is labeled "basic human rights” and the quote is "is this communism?"

probably a good time to bring this back

Jesus fucking christ & boy goddam howdy is right now ever NOT THE TIME for a raft of donation-forward emails from goddam dems. Tell me what you're doing, what you're GOING to do, what youve actually fucking done & maybe, in teeny tiny type at the VERY end, you can add a "please give if you can" link

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

White cotton gloves are not for use with paper-based books. We use them for some photographs and artifacts, but for handling “regular” rare books the professional standard has been clean, dry hands for decades.

Devin Rue is an artist with vision impairment, her site devinrue.com might be worth checking out. (NB: I don't have vision impairment myself so I apologize if it's not actually sufficiently accessible)

Please boost, web design question for users with vision impairment.

Do you know any websites that seem beautiful and dreamy and artsy, but have also been totally accessible for you? I’m trying to examine design ideas surrounding that.

Adopting my son took a lot of steps and hours of training, but when it came to actually picking him up from the hospital the nurse spent 10 minutes showing us how to work the carseat, 5 minutes showing us how to feed and change the baby, and that was it. Absolutely wild.

I've just discovered the #tinyjoys hashtag: quiet moments of beauty and joy that lift the heart during troubled times. Here's one tiny joy of mine: self-seeded columbine flowers, which move around our garden as they will. It's always a delight to see where they'll pop up each spring.

For a long time I felt I should miss her. After all, she had a lot of good qualities. What I've settled on is looking at her through the same lens I use for a couple of my ex-romances: this person was so cool and interesting and funny! and hoo boy am I glad I'm not with them any more.

Compromise and Sex Life is about compromises right? And so is sex? I don't agree. Here'a how to go beyond just compromise to find 'win wins' from sex instead.

We might think that it’s good to compromise, that life is about compromises, but I’m not sure I agree. Certainly when it comes to sex. There’s a way of approaching sex that is not about compromise, but is all about ‘win wins’. www.bishuk.com/sex/compromi...

Have you tried eating a truly unsafe amount of tortilla chips and salsa to fix your problems

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents.

When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

If you are arrested today protesting the Trump administration in Illinois, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com.

I'm sorry for your loss. ❤️ My mom's death was the end of her neglectful, toxic parenting, and was also the end of any possibility of something different. I find most of my grief isn't about missing her, but letting go of retroactively wishing for a relationship that we didn't have.

DOGE day afternoon

Yea I can't do anything about that, so imma laugh

If you like tuna, you can eat that straight out of an envelope, and some of those come with flavors. Pasta salad is a good carb/filler to go with tuna--boil an entire box of tricolor rotini, add a can of olives, and a little Italian dressing and it will last for several meals in the fridge

Do you like those fake "crab" sticks? Half a pack of those dipped in shrimp cocktail sauce makes a good lunch foundation. (Protein, flavor) and then you just need some carbs or an apple to fill up on.

The thing to remember about Andrew Cuomo's breakfast order is that he resigned the governorship in disgrace after being credibly accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women with unwanted groping, kissing and sexual comments
