Tina Turner has left the stage. An unexpected side-effect of all the radio stations playing her songs in tribute is that I now have the phrase shrimply the best stuck in my head to the tune of “Simply the Best.”

We also lost no-till farmer, researcher and soil conservationist Dave Brandt this week. I learnt this from a Tumblr meme, which is also the medium through which I’d initially learnt of Dave Brandt in the first place-- he’s the farmer in a popular gif captioned “It ain’t much, but it’s honest work." It really was honest work – he’d been experimenting with and promoting ecologically-sustainable farming methods since the 1970s.

Early-20th-century Swiss painter/textile artist Alice Bailly is a whole mood.

(To hell with this guy, though:

“She translated the Cubism of Picasso, Braque & Gris into a decorative Rococo decadence…..Throughout her work style was always more important than substance. They have a certain charm in their lack of psychology.”
(I went and glanced at your pictures, dude, Bailly’s are way better)


Apparently Joey “Crime Pays, Botany Doesn’t” Santore is also a guerrilla gardener:

He admits to being borderline contemptuous of maples and rosebushes. His priority is making habitats, not only leaves and pretty flowers. “I just want to create a more pleasant place to go,” he says, “and provide some sort of food or benefit to birds, bugs, and shit like that.”
