I repeatedly misread that as ‘orgasm’, 3 times, before I got to the words ‘alien isolation’ further on in the description and self corrected.
My lino block print in black and red ink on white Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper of a porcelain crab, Neopetrolisthes maculatus. The crab is white with red polka dots on a black background.
Illustration of hypothetical damage pattern on a WW2 bomber. Loosely based on data from an unillustrated report by Abraham Wald (1943), showing that a similar plane survived a single hit to the engine 60% of the time, but a hit to the fuselage or fuel system closer to 95% of the time. Picture is based on US Air Force "hit plots", such as this F-4 hit plot published in 1991. New version by McGeddon based on a Lockheed PV-1 Ventura drawing (2016), vector file by Martin Grandjean (2021). Via Wikipedia. The plane, outlined in black in a white background, is covered in red spots somehow reminiscent of a red polka dotted porcelain crab.
Every time I share my porcelain crab linocut, someone sends me this WWII bomber image to exemplify survivorship bias.

Whoa.
That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today.
With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

Hatch
For anyone about to refer to the storm, this is the old style of cargo ship hatch for which battens are required to secure it for sea (regardless of storms). Battens secure the canvas over the hatchboards and are themselves held in place by wedges hammered in behind the cleats.

I read that as hate-frog and now prefer it that way.
@tuckerslaw.bsky.social kindly showed me this so if there’s anyone else who might find it useful…
I just hit my smart watch activity goals by going to the kitchen to get a Cornetto.
My cat seems to be mirroring my ‘hiding from world events and self-care’ routine.
The world being in a perilous state is really helping me focus on my physical and mental wellbeing.
At this rate, I could be hitting ideal my weight and have a decent resting heart rate when civilisation collapses.
