Do you recognize this painting? Can you read this signature? The painting is hanging in an A-Frame in Grants Pass/Rogue River Oregon. I'm guessing the artist was someone local to the area so discovering anything about them is a slim chance at best. #art #mystery #curious #Oregon

Five stars: Lunar New Year Love Story by Gene Luen Yang and LeUyen Pham (Illustrator) (2024) is a YA love story centered on lion dancing with an Oakland setting and a lowkey Crazy Rich Asians vibe. Valentina Tran was named for Valentine&#39;s Day and until recently it was her favorite holiday. Now she believes she&#39;s cursed in love but a Valentine&#39;s heart given to her by a lion dancer has given her heart one last hopefully zing. https://pussreboots.com/blog/2026/comments_07/...

One of piece of learning how to pronounce Welsh words is the ll. It's not the how to make the sound, it's how often that letter is described to non Welsh people and I say this as a Californian where both the Welsh ll and the Spanish ll live side by side...

Five stars: The Fatal Lozenge by Edward Gorey (1960) reads like the prototype of the Gashlycrumb Tinies (1963). Like its more famous cousin, this book is a Gothic exploration of the alphabet, but with adults. https://pussreboots.com/blog/2026/comments_07/fatal_lozenge.html #bookstodon #poetry #picturebook @bookstodon@fedigroups.social

Outside of Le Paradis in Hayward is a tiny garden always growing riotous colors. So many different flowers, and fruit bearing trees in a space the size a couple parking spots. #photography #BloomScrolling #flowers
