I'll take a picture of the whole thing after I wash it, but I just finished the binding on this quilt tonight and here I'm showing it off to
@paultobin.bsky.social !
They cancelled the delivery because there's too much snow to get down our roads lmao. 12 days after the storm. Great work, City of Philadelphia.

On 2 palettes.
That will not fit through my door.
Lmao?
I am so fucked 😅
Done. Let me know what you think?

Yup. This is also why I get annoyed when people start suggesting "golden age" science fiction titles to people who are new the genre and are asking for suggestions. You want to turn a modern 15-year-old off science fiction forever, recommend stories that were old when her grandparents were her age.
When people ask how to get into GA SF I always say that the right way is via some of those fat "Best Of" short fiction collections
Trying to do some work but out of my study window a large and beautiful red kite is swooping and diving over my neighbours' back gardens in pursuit of pigeons, and clearly nothing is going to get done until this raptor gets his lunch.
Cake and milk from the jug 😬😂
#oilpainting #artAs far as NSF is concerned, when it comes to postdocs, biology is only worthwhile if it’s AI now. If there’s a clean break for saying America is no longer a country where it’s possible to do science, I think this is a pretty good death date
I love all my babies equally, but, I already like this guy more equally.
Your kiddo self wasn't dreaming of having hoarded art supplies gather dust in a corner, they were dreaming of using them. Let your inner kid have some joy

if anyone is interested, i have some of my other pieces posted. this one will be up tomorrow after i take some better pictures!
ebay.us/m/QzsEW6Hot take: folks are too focused on the AI emphasis of the PRFB & missing the most concerning part of the solicitation.
The heavy emphasis on bio-AI integration for “technological advances” is a concerning degradation of NSFs mission to fund basic biological research.
Exciting! But also focused on the "Intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Biological Sciences to Strengthen and Safeguard Biotechnology Innovations"
Holy shit: it's an RFP for the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB). Hello old friend

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology (PRFB)
The more I read this the more I’m like 😬 how much of this is gonna be biology and how much is gonna be tech?
This is supposed to be funding for basic science!!! Not your biotech startup!!!!!
This is an absolutely rancid solicitation and I totally get trying to work out a way to get funded through it anyway but we should be WAY angrier about it.
Also, my bluesky feed this evening has been a *great* illustration of how misinformation spreads even when we try to stop it.

Only 10 cases of Guinea worm disease were recorded *globally* last year.
It may become the second human disease we eradicate, after smallpox.

#art #watercolorWhen animals like hedgehogs, pangolins and potato bugs (AKA rolly pollies or sow bugs) curl up into a defensive little ball it's called "Conglobation." Because they roll up into a cute little globe.

A garden painting with my old green bike, a couple of friends chatting and some of the usual clutter to be seen through the glass of the conservatory. Oil on board. I don't like the white aluminium conservatory so I hung lengths of ivy down it to break up the lines.

twitter must be dead dead cause someone posted a rat coin purse that would have 2019 twitter losing its collective mind and most of the top comments are bots saying random words or people not nearly amped enough about the rat coin purse
I woke up feeling ready to scrap again.
I got some really good advice in grad school for dealing with setbacks and it still works: give yourself the rest of the day to mourn and really feel your feelings—be a caricature, wallow, use all your coping mechanisms. Go to bed, dust off, and move on.
