Before and after photos of furniture my mom refurbished. It started with a plain brown wooden hutch, which she painted white on the outside and bright green in the inside. I didn’t know where she was going with the celery green paint, but she wanted it to look like it was glowing from within, and that worked really well. It reminds me of some Swedish furniture design I’ve seen where light or bright colors are used to make the room seem brighter at dark times of year. (My current apartment in Vermont seems to have been made under similar principles.)
The final picture shows green seat cushions on the chairs to match the green inside the hutch. I think she also replaced the handles on the hutch, she found something both unobtrusive, elegant, and cheap. So it wouldn’t distract from the main features.
I’m continually amazed at my mom and Anne and their ability to make and refurbish furniture. They can take something mediocre or even ugly and turn it beautiful.
My mom is preparing to sell the house (sort of a portable trailer-like thing, two of them, joined by a porch) before she moves. So she’s fixing up all kinds of things in ways I could barely have imagined. She also turned a bank of fluorescent lights into lamps hanging off wood panels that go where the fluorescent panels used to be. Things like that. And doing all this with myasthenia and autonomic dysfunction is no small feat either (I can say this with certainty, having inherited both from her).

Selfies. I am beautiful. I am ugly. These are not contradictions. These are not bad things.
Locket has my dead father’s beard, insult it at your peril. Not from me. From whatever forces dole out punishments to assholes, and believe me they exist, even if only in your conscience.

The aerial photographs of Kacper Kowalski.
If you haven’t seen much of Poland yet, then Kacper Kowalski’s aerial photos will make the perfect introduction. Born in 1977, the artist originally holds a degree in architecture, but has turned to piloting and photography instead. While flying above northern Poland, he found two incredibly beautiful lakes and decided to capture them as they change throughout the seasons. One of the lakes is in Kashubia and another one in Pomerania. Being in control of both the plane and the camera gives Gdynia-based artist a unique ability to control and handle each shot as he pleases, so each photo is thought-through and completed.

OMG that’s some of the most amazing photography I’ve ever seen.

➸ When I say Love (I mean)...
This is a response to this poem by Mel Baggs ( withasmoothroundstone )
When I say love
I mean the way the resurrection moss
Carpets the granite
Feeling the sun on it’s fronds
When I say love
I mean the roots of palo verde
Curling into every granite crack
Gathering hidden cups of…
Thank you so much for writing such a beautiful response to my poem. I may be from the redwoods, and you from the desert, but we are doing the same thing, and that is very powerful and amazing and beautiful to see when it happens. Everyone should read your poem. You’re talking about desert Marona while I talk about redwood Marona but it’s all Marona deep down.

Very rare to see redwoods on the east coast. Terrible picture but I want to remember how their roots looked like flowing water.
