An angled view of embroidered bushes and paths going through them leading to an orchard, allotment and fields.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

what a cutie

Art by the legendary Vincent Di Fate

a photograph of my wrist, a grey woolen knitted jumper on my arm. i am sitting at my desk, and my computer mouse is visible in the background. it has twelve glowing orange buttons on the side. the watch itself is very large, with a green watchface with tan/orange accents. there are three smaller dials, and a date display. the wrist band is a light tanned leather with two silver rivets, matching the silver watch case, with two knobs visible on the left side

I bought a new watch and i think its very pretty

these paintings by German painter Markus Matthias Krüger are pretty much exactly what i envision the zelda 1 map actually looking like in practical terms

does it count as animal cruelty if i dump a bucket of water onto the nearest shrub in an attempt to make the cicaidas in it shut up

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

A sign from the exhibit, which reads: “Shadows in the Field Grasses gave rise to civilisation - but not without a deep and lasting cost. As grain fields spread, so did fences, taxes, and rulers. Grain had to be stored, measured, and protected - and so people were counted, ordered, and controlled. Forests fell. Diets narrowed. Hierarchies took root. The harvest brought wealth, but it also brought war, slavery, and ecological damage.”

a sign from the exhibit which reads: “SWEET POWER Sugar fuelled the human engine of industrial Britain. As coal drove machines. sugar sweetened tea. giving factory workers cheap. fast energy through long hours. Grown by enslaved labour in the Caribbean. sugar flowed into teacups and treacle tins. binding imperial plantations to urban mills in a cycle of extraction. consumption. and relentless production. SUGAR AND SLAVERY Sugarcane is a tropical grass - and one of the most proftable ever grown. From the 17th to 19th centuries, sugar plantations in the Americas ran on enslaved African labour. Sweetness for Europe meant terror and toil for millions.”

a sign from the exhibit that reads: “THE TAXMAN ALWAYS EATS FIRST Taxation was born in the grain felds. Unlike meat or fruit, grain could be dried, measured, stored - and taken. Early states taxed harvests to fund officials, armies, and temple economies. Farmers paid in sacks of barley or rice, and bureaucracies grew around counting and collecting. Long before coins or payrolls, grain built the hrst tax systems - and they've been with us ever since.”

a sign from the exhibit that reads: “AN INHERITANCE OF LOSS Before farming people moved with the seasons. knew every family, and answered to no king. Grain changed that. This new. rich source of energy created a world of fields. clocks. rulers. and walls - and a system of growth and control. In many ways, humanity traded freedom for bread.”

damn, you didn’t have to this hard grass exhibit at the auckland botanic gardens but you are entirely correct

His night scenes are INCREDIBLE I love how bright they are and it's still night.

the future I was promised

telling real jam from cheap 'jam' is very easy:
you look at the ingredients list, and if the first ingredient is sugar, you put it back on the store shelf and walk away

severance season 1 is books. season 2 is screen time.
succession is magazines, which is screen time.

One of my favorite things in older/lower budget sci-fi shows is when you notice the spaceship set design ended at the barely disguised concrete soundstage floor

These mixes forever changed me, and I will forever come back to them.
