1. sf being a small town, it went like this

    “and for this one I got a few days ago, it’s Sun Ra so you know I gotta get something that sparkles”

    "what night did you go?” another customer asks

    “saturday”

    "I went friday”, he says

    “right on”

    “sparkles, what are they like ABBA?" the frame shop worker asks

    “no, kinda the opposite of ABBA" says the other guy

    “more like jazz I guess" I say

    “afro-futurism" he says

    “uh, OK" the frame shop guy says

  2. Afternoon Walk

    A three and a quarter mile (five and a quarter kilometer), 338 foot (103 meter) elevation walk over one and three quarters hours, (one and a quarter hours moving) in Oceanside, California. About 6600 steps.

  3. Getting another @paulrickards piece framed at the same time as the @SunRaUniverse poster I got Saturday at the show.

    I wanted to get the plotter piece with ornate yellow cope in the top right corner but it would have been 10x the cost so I lowered my sights a little to the one on the piece. 🖊️☀️

    And the Sun Ra Arkestra poster absolutely had to be sparkles, but again the ones pictured around it are eye-poppingly expensive so I went with a smaller, finer grit, but still sparkle, not pictured. 🪩🤗

    a pen plog on paper, and a larger poster, on a work table at the frame shop on the left is a medium sized yellow and orange pen line plot (done on a computer plotter) of a sun with rays casting outon the right is a Sun Ra Arkestra poster illustration of abstract green, orange, brown, and pink shapes over a gray square that takes up most of the poster, which has a creamy white background

  4. every morning I crack three eggs into a non-stick pan on medium heat, slide them off to a plate sunny side up when they are ready, return the pan to the stove, raise the heat to medium-high, and fry spinach and a few cherry tomatoes in olive oil which spatters oil all over the place

    today after having made a mess, oh idk, probably a thousand times or so over the past few years, I plopped the spinach on top of the tomatoes once it wilted a little and it prevented the spatter mess entirely. gdi.

  5. logging on

    Ricki Yasha Tarr (@RickiTarr@beige.party)We are pretty lucky that most fires burn within our visible light spectrum, but there was this one time at NASA. Apparently, hydrogen is very pale when it burns and can't be seen by most people, not only that, but it burns very cleanly and with little ambient heat. The scientists had to walk around with brooms in front of them, and if the broom caught fire they'd know where the fire was, they called this The Broom Method. https://shop.minimuseum.com/blogs/cool-things/the-broom-method?srsltid=AfmBOordQRxmUUxMvh3jV2XN7K7vUapiG87WCIQ5a_35TTj99CH5v0gybeige.party
