I’m at the football game, I’m at the Corgi race, I’m at the combination Corgi Football race.
When my insomnia kicks in I’ll spend time on Google Maps wandering the streets, cafes, bakeries, and ice cream shops of the places the US is bombing that week. Six years ago this guy posted a lot of photos of him with his coworkers and the sick welds they made. Kharg Island.
When my insomnia kicks in I’ll spend time on Google Maps wandering the streets, cafes, bakeries, and ice cream shops of the places the US is bombing that week. This week has been Beirut, a place I’ve always wanted to go.
Just a reminder that the federal building in Minneapolis where ICE is holding protesters, immigrants, citizens, etc. A place where you are not guaranteed a “one phone call”, where you have no due process, is the same land where they held Indigenous people in a pen in the late 1800s.
This is a horrific moment and I want to talk about this picture to highlight the contrasts here: paramilitary government employee and large scale tyrannosaurus. Having lived in Minneapolis for a short time I can tell you that it is a big city but with small town community connections.
Wonderful time at Seattle Art Museum at Farm to Table-it wove Impressionism, French foodways, colonialism, socioeconomics of food production. A rich experience with my niece-we saw these iron marks in late 1800s paintings & talked about the people who would have done the ironing and how they did it
Some big life news> I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be returning to Seattle full time as the new Assistant Professor of Printmaking at the University of Washington, Seattle. I’ll be moving this May. It’s been the honor of a lifetime to work with the amazing people at UMN. Forever grateful.
Was just teaching students about viscosity printing this week and so I'm totally excited to see this great article about Krishna Reddy from Hyperallergic yesterday. By Shilpi Chandra via support from Center for Craft hyperallergic.com/989269/maste...
I’m transforming into a Minnesotan becuase the first thing I thought when I saw this was…”Is that bunny cosplaying as a loon?”
Spending a few days up at the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Laboratory and we were allowed to borrow a night light - green LED stick that attracts sea creatures - at one point a harbor seal swam through the light and we exploded in joyous squeals, it was like seeing a celebrity in person.
