Caged angel commission. For this one I got a moodboard that included a verdigris'd birdcage and some starling wings. Then the glaze did kind of its own thing but it ended up suiting it well.

i know everyone (including me) loves the teatro comunale di bologna posters but i feel like we need to talk about the don giovanni one. they understand the assignment, which is 'this guy has to look like a trust fund grade-A SHITHEAD'. truly incredible
Unfortunately this post has breached opera containment and now i am seeing people claiming “This guy fucks”. Unaware of the horrors :(

The Cup of Eliyahu by Marge Piercy
In life you had a temper. Your sarcasm was a whetted knife. Sometimes you shuddered with fear but you made yourself act no matter how few stood with you. Open the door for Eliyahu that he may come in.
Now you return to us in rough times, out of smoke and dust that swirls blinding us. You come in vision, you come in lightning on blackness. Open the door for Eliyahu that he may come in.
In every generation you return speaking what few want to hear words that burn us, that cut us loose so we rise and go again over the sharp rocks upward. Open the door for Eliyahu that he may come in.
You come as a wild man, as a homeless sidewalk orator, you come as a woman taking the bima, you come in prayer and song, you come in a fierce rant. Open the door for Eliyahu that she may come in.
Prophecy is not a gift, but sometimes a curse, Jonah refusing. It is dangerous to be right, to be righteous. To stand against the wall of might. Open the door for Eliyahu that he may come in.
There are moments for each of us when you summon, when you call the whirlwind, when you shake us like a rattle: then we too must become you and rise. Open the door for Eliyahu that we may come in.

Cauliflower kugel recipe - It's lighter than other kugels!
Me- Or... it's an excuse not to have to deal with grating all the potatoes and then squeezing all the starchy moisture out of said grated potatoes? What about that? Must we do everything based on dieting and nothing on ease?
Also, I’m no food stylist, but it looks pretty tasty!
[id- cauliflower kugel, a kind of baked casserole with cauliflower in an egg binding, in a casserole dish]

Sending best wishes to everyone for the new year!
Instead of a search function, Instagram now has "ask Meta AI" and gives you examples of things you can ask it like "Invent a new type of vehicle," "Tips on dressing for work," "Resources on renewable energy," "How do I find my passion," or "Timeline of the Aztec Empire."
- Why would I ask Instagram this (I know it's meant to be asking Meta AI, but it's through Instagram)? The pictures of things and influencers app?
- The sheer range of these questions and prompts should be an immediate red flag. I think this is a MAJOR difference between how I see using a search engine and how AI-as-search engine is being promoted Even if I might use a search engine to look up a diverse variety of topics, I'm not asking the search engine itself for the answer. I'm asking the search engine to pull up resources so *I* can find the answer. If I'm looking for something historical about a work of English literature, I can choose a search result from the British Library's extensive free educational resources and not Smoop or whatever that bad and annoying study guide site is called. If I'm looking at something space-related, I can choose the NASA website and not a flat earther site. Basically, I want to choose a source that seems reliable based on my own judgment. In the same way a cure-all cures nothing, a know-all (I'm not calling it a know-it-all because that's a type of person) knows nothing. Or at least, having information is not the same thing as knowing how to parse it or judge it for quality.

#I love both potatoes and cauliflower. I hate dealing with itchy potato starch and also I have to cook a bunch of other things#I was thinking of maybe trying to do a hybrid potato kugel tortilla española with the potatoes in thin slices#but I guess I could try that later in the week if I'm still feeling it#I hate how cauliflower gets used in diet culture as a substitute for other good things because it's a good thing in and of itself#at least it is when it's prepped correctly and seasoned with nice things and given some nice olive oil or butter/ghee treatment#It's a brassica! Brassicas are so tasty once you know what you're doing!
