After moving to Paris, Vincent van Gogh became almost obsessed with colour combinations, and used coloured balls of wool to test different combinations before trying them out with his expensive paints. The wool & the red box they were kept in are pictured here. +
Known today as the basis for adorable trinkets and collectables, Kewpie dolls and cartoons were a wholesome cultural phenomenon. Artist Rosie O'Neill described Kewpie as “a benevolent elf who did good deeds in a funny way" in her autobiography.
Wholesome though they were, O'Neill also used her Kewpie characters to promote women's suffrage, critique elitism, and advocate for marginalized communities. In particular, Kewpie lent celebrity to the suffragist cause and helped reshape feminism in the popular imagination.

Strawberry Full Moon over Ely Cathedral l VeronicaJoPo
29th June 2026. This year's Strawberry Moon was extremely low in the sky, which made it look very large and bright. (A perfect photographic opportunity!)

They are helpfully making sure you stay hydrated during the ordeal.
OK I keep seeing people refer to the Michigan parasite outbreak and then others will chime in “it’s in my state too!” so to clarify this for everyone it is a NATIONWIDE outbreak reported in 31 US states as of today, July 12th 2026. There is no reason to assume it is not present in the rest of them
NBC News’ tally shows at least 26 states have reported cases of the parasitic stomach illness, as health authorities race to find the source
The CDC is tracking cases but they are significantly lagging behind the states on numbers (their data is weeks behind) so it’s probably going to be most effective to check your individual state’s infectious disease tracking.
This is a parasite that usually causes about 3000 cases of illness per year in the USA, Michigan currently has reported about 2900 (the confusion about “Michigan outbreak” is because Michigan is the first that caught an uptick in cases and has been very proactive about trying to trace them). Last official update from Massachusetts was 18 cases here centered in Greater Boston. The CDC recommends NOT assuming there are no sources of the parasite in your state even if no cases have been reported.
It isn’t an unknown illness but it is an unusual quantity of cases, and the fact that they haven’t been able to pin down the source after weeks of tracking is what makes it particularly concerning this year (harder to contain).
Wash your hands, wash your produce, cook it ideally, and advocate for farm workers to have access to safe and hygienic toilet facilities
that last part is extra important. nearly every one of these produce outbreaks are because of poor hygenic practices on the fields, and particularly, because field workers do not have adequate access to bathrooms. nobody wants to poison your food, but they often don't have a choice. they also often lack proper access to water, cooling equipment (such as sun hats and portable fans), and management; this can make it significantly harder to think clearly and make a wise decision, let alone survive the day. when this comes up in conversation, call this out. make sure everyone around you KNOWS that the reason the lettuce is constantly unsafe is because farms are not giving a shit about worker welfare, and the people growing and picking your lettuce have to walk ungodly distances in 100+ degree weather without water just to take a shit. oh, and if they DO choose to do that, they may be punished for taking an unscheduled break.
if you wanna go further, let everyone know that the majority of labor laws have an exception carved out for agricultural workers.
Republicans on Capitol Hill are starting to talk about one facet of immigration reform: how to expand the popular H-2A visa program for farm
Worth keeping up with developments in the fight over farm workers’ visas because while trying to get legal documents for workers, agricultural producers are also trying to fight for those legal documents to have fewer human rights provisions in them

Hey, remember that time Diana Gabaldon (author of the Outlander series) claimed fanfiction is illegal?
It made me so mad and upset at the time that it turned me off her series altogether.
For the record:
Fanfiction is actually a legally protected art form that's as old as fiction itself.
The way it works is that writers take aspects of a story or universe and then tweak it to explore how those changes would affect the plot and/or characters.
This process of storytelling is so common and so old that it's basically how fairytales survive for thousands of years; the versions you know are basically fanfics of older versions.
hang on this is the same lady who said outlander was inspired by the time travelling scotsman jaime from doctor who. FROM DOCTOR WHO. the actors name was "frazier hines". Outlander's jaime is jaime fraser (said exact same way).
Yup. It's part of what enrages me so much about it.
Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think it’s worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of one’s lungs
People in my notes who think I’m repressed or dissociating: you will feel better when you learn emotions are not a binary of Not Feeling It vs Being Overwhelmed By It
Ok but How Do I Do That
Learn strategies for enhancing self-regulation skills, and discover the benefits of mastering this essential life skill to help emotional dy
There are many techniques (also, there are drugs)
Emotional regulation is about managing emotions to maintain balance.
A little meatier than the Harvard page but covering the same ground. These pages will give you additional phrases to google for advice
I just found this and I'm so tickled it exists so in case it's useful to anyone else the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center has a search engine of commercially available wildflower species by state that lets you filter by appearance, lifespan, soil type, light requirements, and other factors to figure out what you can plant in your space if you're looking to add more native plants to your garden.

We look at how conservation efforts in India have been pivotal to the survival of these birds.
In the early 2000s, vulture populations in Asia began to crash for no apparent reason. It was eventually discovered that a drug veterinarians used to treat cattle was highly toxic to vultures and poisoning them when they fed on cattle carcasses. The governments of India, Pakistan, and Nepal all worked to ban the toxic drug and support vulture conservation programs.
Twenty years later this is a huge conservation success story. Several Asian vulture populations that had decreased by over 99% before the ban have made huge recoveries thanks to conservation breeding centers, the creation of vulture safe zones, and stricter drug regulations.
I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️
Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.
Thank you to everyone who commented in their tags or messaged me. Indeed, today is “Martin and Bosco Day”. I originally whimsically blazed this photo on 13 July 2022. I never expected Martin and Bosco to travel so far and make so many new friends. The experience has been such a gift for me.
Can you recommend any good resources on Tarot symbology? I'm curious about the meanings of all of the recurring symbols in Tarot, but searching online only returns ai junk and surface-level stuff meant for quick readings :p
There are a lot of books on tarot that are huge massive bricks. They don't need to be this big. Imo, the only two books on tarot you need are Pictoral Key to the Tarot, and Crowley's Liber T.
