Did you post this because it’s Leonard Cohen’s birthday or is it a coincidence?

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

My sister trains with a Boot Camp on Bristol Downs but the council want to put up the license fee which could put some out of business. Would be GREAT if you could sign and share a petition to stop this. They’re a really important health benefit. chng.it/mvybffML6j

my issue of Threepenny is here! here’s my poem “Present Tense,” I would love for you to give it a read! “I know this so loudly I don’t hear, at first, my father’s silence.”

Present Tense by Todd Dillard My father’s telling me about his dog, how it fell into a well when they were walking down a wooded path. His dog ran across some rotted planks, the planks splintered, “And whoosh!” my father says. “No more dog.” I look at the clock and remind my father it’s three A.M. “I’m not finished,” he says. He tells me about the rope he bought, the bucket, how he knotted the rope to the bucket, lowered it down, and yelled for the dog to get in. “But all I pulled up was more barking.” “Dad,” I say. “This never happened.” He says he can’t remember how long he tried to get the dog to shimmy into the bucket. Just that at some point when the sky turned tawny—“Dad—“ as a pitcher of sweet tea—“Dad—“ he decided to give up. “Dad,” I say. “It’s late. I’m tired. And you’re dead.” “Dammit, son,” my father says. “Let me finish!” My father tells me about filling the bucket with dirt and pouring the dirt into the well. And I know what he’s getting at, I know he’s going to tell me bucket by bucket he filled the well and the dog jumped out. He’s going to say something about how the dog led him home through the dark. I know this so loudly I don’t hear, at first, my father’s silence. “Dad?” I say. “Dad, are you there?” I keep lowering the bucket but all I ever pull up are leaves. Red leaves. Lately, some gold.

I thought I’d do a proper intro post with links 👋 I’m Jess aka Loadofolbobbins a textile artist and illustrator inspired by nature, books and coosplaying pigeons. 🐦❤️ Shop: www.loadofolbobbins.co.uk Birb Zine Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/loa... Newsletter: eepurl.com/hZtidz

A flat lay of a selection of original bird illustration prints by Loadofolbobbins. They’re all muddled together overlapping to create a joyful mass of birds. The birds you can see as illustrations are a goldfinch, pukeko, white browed tit warbler, curl crested aracari, brown hooded kingfisher, Californian sage grouse, king penguin, red billed oxpecker, bluejay, harpy eagle, Bluethroat, white created helmetshrike and a red and yellow barbet. A selection of laser cut wooden jewellery featuring illustrations inspired by ivy and the wildlife it attracts. Working from left to right, a small vibrant variegated ivy necklace with a jersey tiger moth stuck to the leaf, a pair of ivy stud earrings (left one is variegated with lime green border & slightly darker green centre, right stud is dark green ivy leaf with light green veining), small wooden charm of an ivy mining bee, a swallowtail moth lapel pin on a illustrated ivy backing card, a large dark green veined ivy leaf necklace with red admiral butterfly stuck to bottom left, a jersey tiger moth lapel pin on a backing card full of ivy illustrations, pair of matching ivy mining bee stud earrings on a backing card, a small wooden charm of a golden hoverfly, a small vibrant variegated ivy necklace, a large dark green veined ivy leaf necklace with a golden hoverfly stuck to the bottom left and a red admiral butterfly lapel pin. Text says Ivy League by Loadofolbobbins An original digital illustration of a Cassowary bird by Loadofolbobbins. The illustration focuses on its neck and head. A very dinosaur looking bird the Cassowary has a bright reddish orange wrinkled neck and wattle that transitions to a bright intense blue face with sharp angles of the skull visible underneath its skin. It has a beak slightly elongated and pointed downwards. It has a large eye with a yellowy orange iris that is glistening in the sun. On top of its head is a casque, which is an enlargement of the bone from its upper skull and looks almost like a Mohawk and is an array of greens in colour. The background is a splash of light grey ink. A photo montage of pigeon themed product from Loadofolbobbins. Clockwise from top left a hardback book of illustrations called 100 days of Coosplay by Jessica Taylor and Fred the pigeon, a laser cut wooden necklace showing an illustration of a pigeon coosplaying as a unicorn, a series of three laser cut wooden pins showing illustrations of a pigeon coosplaying as Elizabeth the first, an artist and a roller derby player.

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

The recent court documents showed that Google's internal testing demonstrated that significantly worse search results would not harm their business operations. This apparent immunity to quality concerns stems from the company's dominant market position, which the recent federal court ruling addressed.

"I feel like making art has been simultaneously undervalued and yet cordoned off as a luxury activity." lots to think about in @dianaruzova.bsky.social's excellent interview with @rosiebrand.bsky.social in @thecreativeindependent.com today! thecreativeindependent.com/people/artis...

Maybe I'm just mad at the context, I feel like making art has been simultaneously undervalued and yet cordoned off as a luxury activity. You are expected to do so much work for free in the arts, there are times when I can't pay the bills, I have to scramble, ask for help, do some side thing, compromise. And every time I have to do that, I doubt that my art is real, that I can even call myself an artist. How can the essence of human culture-art, song, dance, story, what we do to express ourselves, to communicate, to understand our world be considered a luxury only available to a privileged few? That makes me angry. Art belongs to all of us. It's a language. It's worth supporting the people who make it.
