a handmade marionette monster photographed in front of a snowbank. it has long arms with branch-like hands, a long neck with a false human face & a lower jaw like a sperm whale, & is dressed in all white/off-white lace & rags with pearl accents. watermark says "Ezra Rose"
a close up of the face of the marionette with its open jaw & teeth visible below.
i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter

Nike co-founder Phil Knight makes record-setting donation to help elect Republicans
It is the single largest donation Knight has made to an Oregon candidate or political action committee.
Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time youβre in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

4 grounding questions [if useful at this moment]:
1. What resources exist so I can better educate myself [about x issue]?
2. Who's already doing work around this injustice?
3. Do I have the capacity to offer concrete support & help to them?
4. How can I be constructive?

My new favorite meditation is feeling my pulse throughout my whole body. Following the breath never worked for me, itβs too slow. Itβs wild to feel this wavy thudding that is constantly going, but simply tuned out.

I start my new job in two weeks on October 6.
Itβs a year-long contract (fully remote) for $180k, which works for me b/c it gets me exactly what I need & allows me to accomplish a helluva lot.
Also, a reminder: if youβre a Black software engineer, DM me b/c theyβre still recruiting to fill spots.

Example of a mystery grid puzzle, with tips for how to complete it (filled squares scrambled on the left, to be copied into the empty grid on the right). Preview page by Outside the Lines lesson designs.
I just made a whole packet of mystery grid drawing puzzles for my UX grad students (to sharpen their eyes) and I am so excited to give them out. They get to draw a WOLF and a TIGER and a PEGASUS! Lots of fun ones at www.teacherspayteachers.com
