The birth of Snake Venus

First off, this is hilarious, but secondly, the artist’s name is Bill Flowers and he literally goes by The Snake Artist because he just does a bunch of paintings like this.

He’s also apparently a “venomous snake wrangler.” He’s Australian, which I feel explains a lot.

That warm feeling when you get flowers from someone who cares about you.

Fun fact: This is what the Iron Giant dreams of

The lost sequel to this

The most interfaith environment i have been in for a while has been my local college encampment in solidarity with Palestine. I just sang the Shabbat prayers and stood around Muslims during their evening prayer and said Vespers for those martyred. A child did a cartwheel and laughed during the moment of silence, and I rejoice that she knows joy and safety. I read Letter from a Birmingham Jail this morning—my grandfather's copy—and the reverend already said everything we need to hear, it seems. Go sow holy tension where it deserves to be seen. Keeping vigil with the possibility of arrest may be the closest I have come to Jesus' last days. He is dying in his homeland, over and over, and he was there on that grass, too.

The place and people I honored in this post were violently assaulted by police this afternoon, and I ask that you keep our community in your prayers. I know that it is the purest expressions of love that are an enemy to power. I know that true faith often gets you led away in handcuffs. I know that the people who are scared of and angry at coexistence and joy and grieving and prayer on a public lawn have hardened their hearts, and we must both pray for softening and chant louder our demands.

Palestinian organizations and families need your generosity most of all, but if you notice a particular need for it, considering sending a couple bucks to your local bail fund, or dropping by a nearby protest with some bottled water. Tear gas cannot cloud the future we can see and must build. You cannot trespass on earth that belongs to us all. May God be with you.
