Between 1895 and 1899, CΓ©zanne painted numerous landscapes of the abandoned and overgrown quarry, known as BibΓ©mus, located east of Aix-en-Provence, France. The area's vibrant colors and rough, partially man-made topography suited the increasingly geometric style of the artist's later works. The frenetic brushstrokes and dynamic tonality create both the shimmering surface pattern and the striking illusion of depth, as the vista's stony terrain and lush vegetation give way to the cooler hues of a distant mountain range and the sky above. Areas of unpainted canvas call attention to the flatness of the painting's support, yet also give the impression of volume, as they articulate bare areas of ground and rock. The painting's nuanced optical effect captures the elusive spontaneity of vision while presaging the imminent emergence of abstract painting.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

The crocuses and camellias are out in the #pnw, just in time for #FlowersOnFriday! The camellia is mine; the crocuses were shot at the Western State Hospital cemetery. #lakewood

Awake to birdsong…it’s idiotically early, light only just beginning to seep into the margins of the sky, but I don’t mind a bit! After the darkness of winter, I’ll take every suggestion of light possible!
Wishing you a lovely day, dear early birds (human and winged!)

β€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will β€” and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

This story is wild. As far as I can tell from the body camera clips I watched, the footage shows MPD special operations strategizing their forcible entry into private property without a warrant, based on the say-so of a political appointee with nothing more than a stack of print outs.

I have produced quite a few paintings and drawings of Green Street in Cambridge over the years. Here's a watercolour and ink sketch showing the western end as it goes into Trinity Street. Not sure if I still have this one.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

That doesn’t mean burying your head in the sand and ignoring things!!!

It means you identify

1) who needs to hear me
2) who is listening to me
3) what do the people listening need to hear?
4) how do I reach the people not listening?
5) what actual actions can I take?

And posting is not #1!

Online activism is not activism

You need to talk to people IRL

Some of you need to just get offline so you can calm down because you cannot do anything when the feed has made you hysterical!

That is the point of authoritarian overwhelm!

You fight it by NOT CONTRIBUTING TO THE OVERWHELM

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East.

She lied.

One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.

This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

Tell Congress: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now Contact Congress today!

🚩 House Oversight just voted 24-19 to SUBPOENA AG Pam Bondi over her half-baked Epstein files release.

Key docs still hidden.
Redactions everywhere.
Powerful names protected.

Enough is enough.

Tell Congress: FORCE Bondi to release EVERY unredacted file NOW. No more cover-ups! πŸ”₯
