So…roughly three months ago my mother was trying to order a painting for her office space of a New Orleans street view

She picked out a print of pointillism style painting, nice bright colors, appealing to the eye sort of thing.

It arrives only for her to find that it’s not a painting, but rather a mosaic-by-number kit with ~75,000 pieces. Her eyes are bad enough that she can’t really put it together herself and my fathers hands aren’t steady enough to get the tiles facing the right way. So, for the past two weeks I’ve been putting them down one by one so that she can have a nice mosaic for her office wall instead.

I’m roughly 25-30% done:

A black and white comic page. At the top is a panel of a man watching two people pull up nettles with the words "One day he saw some country people busily engaged in pulling up nettles". Below that is a drawing of two hands holding a dried nettle stalk and the words "he examined the plants, which were uprooted and already dried, and said: 'They are dead. Nevertheless, it would be a good thing to know how to make use of them."ALT
A black and white comic. In the first panel is a steaming bowl in front of a chair on a table with the words "When the nettle is young, the leaf makes an excellent vegetable." In the second panel is a close up drawing of a person's hand making cordage with the words "when it is older, it has filaments and fibres like hemp and flax." In the third panel a woman is holding up a sheet of fabric as if to fold it, with the words "Nettle cloth is as good as linen cloth." In the fourth panel a chicken is pecking at the ground with the words "Chopped up, nettles are good for poultry." At the bottom of the page is a drawing of nettles in a basket and the words "With the exercise of a little care, the nettle could be made useful;"ALT
A black and white comic. In the first panel, a doorway in a brick wall is partially overgrown with nettles and has the words "it is neglected." In the second panel there is a hand with a rash and the words "and it becomes hurtful." At the bottom, from left to right is drawn a scythe, a dead nettle lying on the ground, nettle stumps, and some living nettles, all with the words "It is exterminated"ALT
A black and white drawing of a man in early 19th century clothing, in his shirt sleeve and holding a hat, looking at a nettle plant. Words read "How many men resemble the nettle!"ALT

He added, after a pause: “Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.”

The ‘hyperspecific situations’ polls are really once again highlighting that native English speakers tend to forget that 'foreign’ doesn’t mean 'non-English’ or 'non-American’

“Did you watch a foreign language movie in the past three days?” Yeah I watched the foreign movie “The Martian” with foreign actor Matt Damon
