I made this one with two clothespins, two plastic caps, wire and beads, covered it with a white undercoat then painted it. It's inspired by the amazing work of @ArtFromRachel.
(Also it's a functional mini flower pot!)

Now seems like a good time to talk about how far-right extremists are using the Overton Window theory to force their ideas into the mainstream. The premise here is that today’s fringe ideas/beliefs can become tomorrow’s normal by shifting the boundaries of acceptable discourse. You do that by introducing people to more & more extreme ideas, so everything else seems reasonable in comparison.

eg, when “praising Hitler” becomes the comparison point, low-key bigotry suddenly doesn’t seem so bad. 1/

Was reminded of this during a #Microsoft event this morning. Still great.

The myth of Elon Musk as a genius building a better future for everyone is falling apart — and it’s about time!

As I wrote in Time a few months ago, we need to realize he hasn’t just taken a bad turn in the past few months. He’s always been selling us a lie, and nothing shows that better than his fake transport projects that distracted from real solutions.

His downfall can’t come soon enough.
