'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Why are the allowed to put video screens in cars?? Most places have outlawed texting while driving (cuz its fucking dangerous), but cars have a dang ipad built into the dash now! Stupid country. Full of stupid businesses doing stupid shit.

Wolf Conservation Center 🐺@nywolforg.bsky.social · yesterday

Over the last 10 yrs, sharpshooters hired by the B.C. govt have killed hundreds of wolves from helicopters to "save" struggling caribou herds. The real cause of caribou decline isn't wolves, though - it's habitat destruction. This isn't endangered species conservation, BC. It's willful ignorance.

BC Just Spent $74,900 to Kill a Single Wolf in the Kootenays | The Tyee

The program exists to save at-risk caribou, but critics want Ottawa to move to preserve herds’ old-growth habitat.

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

To be clear: If “TTRPGs” in your scholarship, teaching, & outreach start & end with D&D — or even GMed games — that’s a skill issue you need to reconsider. You’re gonna get left behind.

Because I haven't been able to draw I've been going back and looking at older art I've made. I really like this little Petrie from Land Before Time I did a few years back.

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.
