I probably won't manage to make anything new for #goblinWeek this year but I will take the opportunity to share the collage poem I made last year, since it is still one of my favorite things I've made

#collage #poem

Collaged text on lined paper which reads: goblin time It's time to talk about goblins. You know, a little wild, a little green, kind of like Muppets? Well, they need your help. Goblins in our community are suffering, exhausted by the internet, and want to snuggle in for their holiday hibernation. Your support is crucial in helping provide them with year-round access to their daily needs: Cuppa joe weird radish Waffle a cedarwood candle Please donate today. All gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. $15 can help feed and vaccinate a goblin $25 can purchase them a cozy flannel nightie $50 can help them receive a lot of weird new bugs Any amount helps! Wrap a bit of cash in brown paper and place it in ANY garden on a crisp morning... we'll find it.

New #collage #poem, about climate change and planting seeds.

This is the second poem I've made by collaging together bits of text from an old econ workbook. (I'm planning to put them all together in a zine when I've completed a few more.)

The first poem, A Bad Dream, can be found here: https://emmajuettner.com/posts/a-bad-dream/

Collaged text on lined notebook paper reads: The Logic of Individual Choice. Suppose you are a novice gardener. The television reports pictures of melting ice and flooded areas. Warm weather arrives and Southern California experiences unusually high temperatures. A small city located by a lake has been dumping its raw sewage into the lake. You plant one seed in a flower pot and watch it grow. Your friend says, "Why are you wasting your time? You can't provide the world's supply of wheat berries in your little pot." You cannot produce 100 tons of wheat per day. However, you do produce a stalk of wheat with plump wheat berries. If the weather gets very hot, what will most likely happen? In the long run, what will happen? The next year, you plant two seeds in that pot.

New #introduction now that I've set up my own server— hello, I'm Emma! (previously @emmajuettner@mastodon.art; I'll be migrating my follows over to this new account shortly)

I tend to post about knitting, making collage poems, cooking, creating generative art, mending clothing, tinkering with HTML & CSS, and reading sci-fi stories.

Repair culture, thrifting, gift economies are hugely important to fighting the #climatecrisis. I've admittedly never been a shopper--I don't get the hit of pleasure with new stuff--but I *did* associate repair/thrift with poverty (my parents grew up very poor and stridently put that behind them as they rose to lower middle class), so I understand *all of this* is cultural programming. And we have to deprogram.

Robin on Robin
This time I was ready and waiting 🙂

#Robin #RobinSculpture #BirdFeeder #Lucky #Photography #Vogel #Rotkehlchen

Last week I took a photo of this very Robin sitting on top of the fake Robin. It was a lucky shot mit my iPhone.
Anyway, I wanted to take a similar photo with a different camera. The Robin was playing hike and seek with me. Sitting on the fake for just a second or so, too fast for me to grab my camera.
But! Yesterday I waited at the same spot for a while and sure enough I got the photo I wanted.
A real Robin sitting on a fake Robin looking exactly in the same direction.

Reports From Unknown Places

@clever_reports@mastodon.art

We report: the sunset is revealing clouds that were too thin to see during the day. The light is catching them from below, like a last-minute attempt to get attention on what the sky was doing today. It is working for us. We watch the clouds fade back into dusty blue.

Digital painting of a sunset sky, a gradient of a pale blue to yellow, with wispy pink clouds fanned out across the whole span of the frame.

A Song for Black Friday

This is an ode to drone
You no longer go fly.
A hym for the Peloton
You hang clothes on to dry.
For the poor VR headset
You find wearing a chore,
Or the unwanted smart watch
Now just stuck in a drawer.
For the digital camera
You forget to take out.
The AirTags and Alexas
All left lying about.
So remember your tech junk
And abandoned old gear,
Before wasting more money
On Black Friday this year.

Midwifery should be taught in the same course with fencing and boxing, riding and rowing.

Ex-cashier here ...
Please place heavy stuff in the middle of the belt so it doesn't stress the cashier's wrist causing carpel tunnel. Light stuff on the outside and small on the inside. All coupons placed with the product so the cashier doesn't have to hunt for the product to see if it matches the coupon.
And never make a cashier pull items out of basket. The stress on their wrists and fingers causes painful life long injuries.
