fly. on a leaf.

“let me give you a suggestion on how you deal with hard-core drug addicts,” mr. ford said. “this is not drinking wine or smoking a joint, this is heroin or cocaine. with heroin or cocaine, you end up one of two ways: dead or in jail. that’s it. there’s only two ways.”

this asshole has consistently and loudly opposed any and all public health initiatives, particularly harm reduction strategies. though there are clearly far more options available to anyone using any substance, may his own words curse him.

and, don't forget: the national right-wing scumbags should be imprisoned too.

bee on dandelion

i have tried for a few years to get dandelions to grow in pots on my patio, with limited success. this year i had several doing well, and today i saw all but one had disappeared. odd, but not a catastrophe, of course, and only after a neighbour dropped by while i was messing about with the pots did i learn that she'd seen the weeds in my garden and decided to help out by removing them.

i didn't have the heart to tell her i'd been deliberately growing them. the flower and bee above are not in my garden.

sweet potato III: in the lair of the lichen queen

sweet potato III: in the lair of the lichen queen

still preserved by the alejandro jodorowsky foundation from a lost short by the director. en la guarida de la reina liquen was only partially filmed and probably never meant to be finished, existing primarily as a technical experiment and extrapolated from a comic book written and drawn by the director years earlier (the film dates from 1968, at best guess).

film historians note the homage to the comic/short film/vegetable in the third act of the director's doomed attempt at filming an adaptation of some dusty sci-fi rubbish, apparently all about a war far in the future between planets over a psychic drug. jodorowsky is rumoured to have been drawn to the material by a very large worm.
