Bear lake

Photo at Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. The water is absolutely still, reflecting the opposite shore like a mirror. The water line extends across the image just above the center. Pine trees grow down to the edge. A footpath can be seen above the water as a streak of light brown. There is a wooden bridge at center left. There is a light coating of snow in the trees and on rocks above them. At the bottom of the image more snow can be seen reflected in the water. A shallow l…

It eats quality and sh*ts quantity.

Variety here is "Queen Rania". I am not generally a fan of flower-variety naming conventions, but I do like this flower, in spite of its monarchic name.

Thinking a lot about Blatten today: Exactly a year ago, at 15:24 the Birch glacier above the village in the Lötschental valley broke off and formed the largest glacier collapse and landslide in modern Swiss history, burying 90% of the almost 700 year old village, first mentioned in 1343...
ARTE has a nice recent documentary about the event and plans to rebuild:

There are a lot of possible explanations for this:
Maybe the people who aren’t interested in AI also happen to vote for more sessions. (At a quick prod at the data, penalizing votes from people who voted for large numbers of sessions does not seem to change the conclusions above, but I haven’t investigated this thoroughly.)
Maybe AI is a more fragmented topic due to its newness, and interest has not coalesced, leading to a large number of small sessions. (But again, •total• votes for AI, including the whole long tail, were proportionally smaller.)

Frida Khalo was such a legend. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, because she is so iconic. But for me, her self determination and control of her own image in the face of her illness and disability is the lesson we could all take from her. #Tate #art

Frida Kahlo - Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, 1940

In this self-portrait, Kahlo portrays herself wearing her hair in an elaborate braid, adorned with butterfly brooches. On either side are a monkey and a cat. She wears a necklace made of thorns, which pierce her throat. From her necklace hangs a dead hummingbird. Above her head some gossamer blooms look like dragonflies.
Frida Kahlo - Girl with Death Mask, 1938, Oil paint on tin plate

In this miniature painting, a young girl wears a skull mask while holding a yellow marigold flower. Both objects are associated with the Day of the Dead, a day in Mexican culture where the dead are celebrated instead of mourned. The tiger mask that lies near the girl's feet is used for traditional celebrations in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. The open landscape, gentle colour palette and the presence of a child contrasts with th…
A rare self portrait of Frida with her hair loose. An inscription below tells us that this is her, aged 37, painted in the mirror.
Self-Portrait (in a Velvet Dress), 1926, Oil paint on canvas

This was Kahlo's first self-portrait, painted soon after she was hit by a bus, sustaining serious injuries. She wears a loose bathrobe, with an embroidered collar and plunging neckline. The intimate portrait was intended as a gift for her then boyfriend, and she presents herself as a modern woman who is who is free from social constraints.

I have the desire to potter about with plants and get my new raised fruit/veg bed sorted out but apart from the blistering temperatures I've picked up a completely flattening virus from a colleague so I don't have the energy. I keep falling asleep when I sit down. I've put some nasturtium seedlings into a planter, moved the radish planter to the veg area and helped move a couple of bits into our summer seating area and that's me done.

Paved summer seating area seen from above, dominated by a huge turquoisey parasol. Nasturtiums bottom left, fig on the paving stones that are keeping the parasol in place, olive having a quick drink in the pale plastic basin right of centre. There's a young walnut tree in a pot hiding behind the parasol and several planters of pollinator-friendly plants.

In the previous post, I described the Seasons project: a #timelapse of hundreds of pictures taken from nearly the same viewpoint over the years. The hardest challenge wasn’t taking the pictures or assembling them, but aligning them.
I’m a human being, not a tripod. The position changes ever so slightly, and so does the exact angle.
Alignment is the process of warping each photo so it…

A good rock, he explained, is flat on the bottom so it sits well, but with a pleasing rounded form above. It should be large enough to be noticed, but not so big that it's difficult to move around.

#coastStarlight views

Shrub- and tree-lined islands in a murky green-brown lake. Behind them, a thin strip of land with palm trees, then blue ocean water.
Rows of some kind of cabbage-ish crop in a valley. They’re blurry from the speed of the train. The valley backs up to faded rugged mountain ranges, the first mostly bare, the one behind it with scrub.
View from above of a dark blue Amtrak train stopped on tracks built below grade of the round hill beyond, which climbs from trees to houses to a peak of mostly grass.
A set of rolling hills partly covered with shrubs, in other areas just grass. In the middle ground lowlying trees and in the foreground straw-yellow grass and dull green forbs.

Appalachian Power can’t keep the power on during a few days of rain, but repeatedly claims that the proposed Google data center won’t be a problem.
We lose power multiple times a year. In a rural setting, it’s going to happen - above ground power lines are vulnerable to tree strikes. The vast majority of customers have small generators accordingly. But it seems both inevitable and ludicrous to think they are capable. Residential customers will suffer.

My takeaways:
1. Don’t even try me with your “both parties are the same” BS.
2. Don’t even try me with your “support all Democrats all the time no matter what” BS.
3. We need to make Democrats a •lot• more afraid of getting primaried.
4. Above all, we need to stop imagining the politicians are the leaders of social change. We need to fight every day, in every place we are, to create a reality where trans people are safe and politicians are scared of casting votes like this before we even target them.

B&W photo of a large forested valley curving below and steep mountain ridges leading into the distance. The view is from a cliff ~500 meters above the valley, the rocks covered in dried grass and some draw mountain pines.

Getting a jump start on #caturday, before I forget.

Single panel comic.
Saint Peter is standing at his kiosk in front of the Pearly Gates. The little halo above his head confirms his identity. In front of him a cat is sitting on a cloud. A fireman has climbed to the top of a ladder poking through the cloud, in front of the cat. He is holding out an opened can of cat food. The fireman is saying to the cat, “I don’t know how you got up here, but I’m here to help you down.”
Single panel cartoon.
A man is laying alone on a double bed, under covers up to his armpits. His phone is atop a side table at his left. There’s a small lamp atop a side table on the other side of the bed. A cat is sitting on the man’s chest looking at him. The cat is saying, “You’re in my personal space.”
