Photos from Sunday’s Show
I’m pleased as hell with these photos that came out of sunday’s show. Just as a word of warning, the show in question was at an erotic arts theatre, so like half the pictures of me have a painting of a lady wearing pasties (and not too much else) behind me. If you know me, [...]

Peter the Painter, a notorious latvian revolutionary who holed up in London for a bit, has been honored with two commerative plaques on housing projects that have been named after him, much to the ire of the police.

As the first act, it meant the [...]

It looks like the bag made from recycled bags is done already. On Sunday, we posted how to make plastic yarn from bags. Now, our instructor has finished the bag from bags. I also found out that she has an Etsy store, Chloe’s Corner.

But with things getting as dire as they are, it’s worth looking at some of the last-ditch rescue methods that science has presented us with. And just now, there’s a carbon-scrubbing [...]
