pov: waiting for that sweet sweet petrichor

Chef Joshua Gil passed on June 22 after giving colorectal cancer hell for four years. His physical body may have given out, but his spirit, his influence, and the countless memories he created around tables across L.A. will be just fine. The full story: lataco.com/chef-joshua-... By Javier Cabral

@reikomurakami.bsky.social Extremely simplified rendition of Adolescence of Utena

It’s summer time and the past few days have felt really nice. I know summer is a time where people either hate it or love it. I’m the lather, I love what summer brings. Here is a painting that I dedicated to summer for a four seasons show at Haven in 2020 Happy summer folks, stay cool

The duckling Trump killed in the Reflecting Pool turned out to be a fitting reflection of what his administration is doing across the country. They are damaging wildlife, undermining environmental protections, and treating conservation as an afterthought.

Only together can they revolutionize the world. 💖 Feel the power of love when ADOLESCENCE OF UTENA hits theatres starting June 21! 🌠 brnw.ch/21x2DC5

Trump is accusing vandals of causing the Reflecting Pool coating to peel, but that’s not what appears to be happening here. The real issue is the administration’s reliance on no-bid contracts and what appears to be a rushed project with inadequate quality control.

The Reflecting Pool wasn’t supposed to become a case study in what can happen when a rushed, politically driven project meets inadequate quality control. Yet that is exactly what it has become. Also a prime example of waste, fraud, and abuse!

Happy National Bald Eagle Day! Flashback to 2015, when Uncle Sam the bald eagle took a swipe at Trump during a photo shoot. Just goes to show eagles are pretty good judges of character.

This should concern every American, regardless of political party. California Governor Gavin Newsom says on X that he and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, have become targets of a Department of Justice investigation directed by the Trump administration.

The Enchanted Brush exhibition XII is opening today at Mazza Museum ! This year’s theme is Homage, and here’s my piece, a tribute to no other than the greatest Eric Carle. This book saved me so many nights when my daughter was an infant.

I am once again begging folks to understand the difference between ‘I don’t like this’ and ‘Nobody likes this’. You are not the main character of the world. Readers and authors have different tastes. You are not the arbiter of what authors should and should not put into books.

Drop something purple

Trump is so delusional. There are no issues in California that justify this rhetoric. Maybe attention should be focused on the fact that Republicans are attempting to gerrymander states across the country to lock in congressional seats. These maps are being pushed forward without voter input.

hi, happy #worldoceanday. 🌊

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

That is an extraordinary claim of executive power. Under the administration’s own legal theory, a president could destroy some of America’s most iconic landmarks and then argue that the courts are unable to undo the damage once it has been done.

Today's recommendation: workout class on a sandy beach. The sand will kick your butt and get in your eyes but you'll feel amazing later.

Love being smarter and funnier and hotter than Elon Musk when I roll out of bed in the morning and baby it only goes up from there :)

“Died of sadness,” according to family. An immeasurable loss.

If you see this, post your bird art!

#BookSky Also just read Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel, now giving the HBO 2024 series a try

#BookSky just finished reading The Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald, almost like the 2007 movie Once in how it sets up your expectations for a certain sort of heartwarming story… and then the book subverts all yr hopes

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Did you know that the oldest item in the Folger collection is about 2072 years old? It's a silver denarius of Julius Caesar (shown here on the side depicting a bust of Venus), purchased by Henry and Emily Folger in 1910 for $1.60. More on the Collation blog: www.folger.edu/blogs/collat...

What an absolute mess and a complete disgrace!

Here's a new Penric cover made for Subterranean Press. Always the kindest people I've ever worked with and an absolute privilege.

i am fine, i am perfectly well, but also if i don't get chilaquiles right now i am not responsible for the consequences

"Do you know what the humans CALL people who are too stupid to think for themselves?" "Ducks! :D" "Sheep! >:(" Sheep Detectives was a surprisingly good movie.

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

Another one from a while back.

Very Gen X of us to be so late, but our millennial boss was offended during approvals.

Me reading about Christopher Nolan's Odyssey: he wants a "realistic" interpretation of greek myth, well, good luck with that... he takes inspo from Emily Wilson's translation and Harryhausen's special effect movies. Well, that's the best thing I've heard about it yet!

Today on Goodreads: 3/5 stars for Cherry Baby, by Rainbow Rowell. Engaging and witty, but the ending left me scratching my head. Full (spoil-ful) review here #BookSky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Timelapse

And this November, the blue wave will be as blue as Trump made the memorial pool. Democrat blue. All we can do in the meantime is keep fighting back on as many fronts as possible!
