Iâve been doing a lot of research on Textiles, especially rugs, of the Silk Road and I really love the sampler rugs, called Wagireh, which show a number of different patterns in one rug. Some of them are so beautifully and creatively designed themselves to make a pleasing rug. There are only a couple of quick samples of samplers I foundâŠbut Iâve seen many that are more beautifulâŠjust canât find now, and some with unusual & beautiful asymmetry.
So, maybe this Canadian businessman should not be on the board at the ROM, or a mentor at Schulich School of businessâŠ
He is executive chairman of the passenger & cargo airline whose planes are the ones taking people to forever prison camps in El Salvador for ICE without due process.
Trump caught on hot mic talking about needing more prisons for the âhome-grownsâ. âAt least 5 more.â (Prisons). US citizens as political prisoners.
Maybe instead of pretending to bring back extinct species, do real actual science you donât have to lie about, that has real purposeâŠlike invest in stuff to prevent everything that is now alive from going extinct from climate, pollution. People should be very trepidatious about gene editing. There is other more pressing science to do if we are to live healthy lives.
Please consider being a ko-fi supporter of my #art & help me buy art supplies if you can. I am prolific & go through a lot of paint & surfaces. https://ko-fi.com/joblakely
I am also accepting #portrait commissions which are a wonderful way to capture a moment, a memory, people or animals you love. Portrait commissions are $700 for 8 x 10â cradled wood panel. A unique #luxury gift. Smaller & Larger sizes available too. Price list at http://www.joblakely.com/pricelist.html
A quick little painting I am liking a lot. Itâs always the ones I do quickly and decisively that I love the most. Itâs very tiny, about 4 x 6â oil on canvas board & some digital painting over top & retouching.

They want to tell you the boycotts donât workâŠexcept Target has already lost over 16 billion since they trashed DEI. Walmart stores are empty & while I canât find figures on lossesâŠtruth will out eventually. And Tesla alone has lost over 750 Billion. People arenât flying to US. Keep up the good work people. You may not see the results published and they may say it doesnât work, but it clearly does. #resist#resistance#boycott
Just learned this Fun fact: ââsocialist Norwayâ has almost 2 trillion USD in their Sovereign Wealth Fund. If everybody quit working today, Norway could maintain its standard of living for more than 400 years. They nationalized their oil and gave the profits to the government, not shareholders. Socialism is the enemy of billionaires, but the friend of the middle class.â
#Canada needs to do the same. The whole world needs to do the same.
@aehdeschaine@hollie SAME!!!!! I donât watch much as a result, bc I also really hate police, fbi, cia, and military propaganda shows. And I hate horror & violence. And now dislike most dystopias or negative future visions. It doesnât leave much. I love most British comedy panel & game shows. I like funny human stories told well. Fleabag, Derry Girls, Chewing Gum, Ghosts, Dinosaur, Catastrophe, Colin From Accounts, Upload, Undone, Lower Decks & Strange New Worlds.
@aehdeschaine@hollie I got into the first series, finished it, but could not do the second. The first ended so disappointingly, I wasnât going to waste my time. It was so violent, so many awful people with power. I didnât need more of it. I used to love costume dramasâŠbut not so much anymore either. It is all off putting these days.
@kaia@overholt Iâve read of a few awful humiliations we were forced to endure. But most records of our achievements and our sufferings have been completely & purposefully destroyed. 1000s of years of it.
@blogdiva I really learned about this scarcity economic bullshit through Buckminster Fuller who spoke about Malthusian Darwinian economics as bullshit which is scarcity & population control eugenics. Who is fittest to survive.
Someone posted a video with the caption âthe wolf is at the doorâŠâ about these times. No. Thatâs not right. The wolf is in the house, has reproduced and is in every room of the house defecating everywhere and destroying everything. And have already killed many.
The time is long past. The wolf was welcomed in with open arms, over and over. What are you going to do now?
