To realize the relative validity of our convictions, and yet stand for them unflinchingly, is what distinguishes a civilized man from a barbarian.

Prepping for the storm!
I am always inspired by the sea. The ocean is beautiful, but incredibly powerful. The surge is what does a lot of the damage. We are inland, but the winds cannot be underestimated!

Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.

Haven’t been mastodon the last few days cause I was on vacay with my brother’s crew at the beach. Had a lot of fun! Found a few shells that I liked.
Two of them have holes in them. I was think of maybe trying to make a necklace with them OwO

The inside of Common Limpet (Patella vulgata) shells often have an iridescence that is hard to capture on camera - but because this shell has been worn down a bit it's shining through much more strongly 😍 County Clare, Ireland.

plastic trash & #seashells
From Duke Riley’s “Death to the Living: Long Live Trash” show at Brooklyn Museum
“Sailor's valentines were a popular maritime craft in the 19th century. These seashell mosaics were arranged in geometric patterns inside small, octagonal wooden boxes. Riley's versions are made using found plastics, reflecting a growing scarcity of seashells on beaches and a concurrent increase in plastic pollution.”

Art Advent Calendar - Day 17
"Peaceful Sunset at Shell Castle"
A bit of a "fun" photograph today. There's a beach on the west coast of Australia called Shell Beach where the "sand" is all made out of little seashells. Waiting for the sun to set, the child in me had the great idea to build a castle out of these shells. Later, I took a photograph (or 10) of this. This is the result.
