Gonna make a new thread for the #TarotInsecta, a project which will probably never be finished, is not currently available for sale, but which I am having fun with.
Suits are Wasps, Moths, Beetles & Waterbugs, with some others showing up in the Major Arcana. Wasps correspond to Swords, Moths to Staves, Beetles to Pentacles and Waterbugs to Cups. ImageImage
The Eight of Wasps seems like a hopeless situation—the victim bound in silk, and a spider lurking below. But on closer inspection, the spider is dead and this wasp species may have a trick up its sleeve… (Flagging this one as sensitive for a dead spider for my arachnophobes.) Image
The wasp larvae of Reclinervellus nielseni hijacks orb-weaver spiders and, not content to merely eat them, forces the spider to spin a reinforced cocoon web where the larvae will pupate into its adult form. Whether this particular larvae is one of that species remains to be seen.
(Still not entirely pleased with the death curl on the spider, but it wasn’t getting better the more I fiddled with it. May revisit later.)
There was only one possible choice for the Magician. In addition to remarkable feats of stasis and prime numerology, the genus name of the periodic cicada is “Magicicada.”

(Please, someone be impressed by the wing highlights, I thought I was gonna diiiiie….)

Well, well, what have we here? Hand holding a ripe fig.
Hmmm, who likes figs? Somebody was just tweeting at me about that…

Oh yeah, @ksonney!
@ksonney has a message for Shep re: the first figs.

It is waaaay too hot, but I have to weed or I will literally die of garden shame.
2/3rds done clearing the paths in the backyard. Time for hydration and Twitter!
Every year I start Tithonia seeds for the spot by the deck, so I can watch butterflies and hummingbirds from inside. This year I forgot.

I had like five volunteers so they came in anyway. It’s at least nine feet tall.

It’s D&D night and combat begins with the by-now familiar refrain: “It’s the chicken’s turn.”
A bandit has attacked the party, but missed and is now drunkenly fighting a credenza.
UPDATE: The bandit has botched his roll against the credenza and gotten his scimitar stuck in the wood. He believes it has taken his weapon and is screaming at it.

All righty, internet, off to a protest! Hold the fort for a couple hours until I get back!
I return! No got punched and I am not in jail. It was actually really nice. Big crowd for our tiny town, lots and lots of support from passersby.
Ran into my dentist and a local Digger fan. (Hi, Rachel!) Big range of ages, from fierce young people to aging hippies muttering about how they got through this before and they’ll do it again.

Today seems like a good day for a video of a heavily tattooed man sitting peacefully with his chickens. (Audio recommended, if only for the peeping.)
Aaaand the slightly more dramatic video of what happens when attempting to film. (Audio definitely recommended for this one.)
This one is badly shot and out of focus, but also the audio is an absolute joy so I’m putting it up anyway.
