drawing baphomet triplets having a birthday in honor of this being my 666th post.
last year Mary, Maria, and Marie were still small goat headed shadow blobs who only spoke in opera music and had trouble with shoelaces. look at them now! fingers and everything. sometimes too many, but they’re trying.
after cake time they’ll be led outside to three tiny tricycles crafted from the rib of a great beast that fell from the stars long ago in a time before time.
a fight will break out over who gets the one with rainbow streamers on the handles which their mother has to break up by painstakingly taking the streamers off of them all and making sure everyone had the same amount of every color. the holes in the handles emit a blinding white light and a low hum. she feels a headache coming on.
Mary also slips and cracks her horn on a table. she cries for 20 minutes until she’s offered a balloon animal. she suddenly doesn’t care about the wound, much to the delight of her mother, sisters, attending small children, and the 14 hooded figures in party hats milling around the backyard.
it’s a pretty good birthday.
photos by matt smith from the Illawarra coast in new south wales of bluebottles, violet snails and blue dragons.
despite its resemblance to the jellyfish, the bluebottle is more closely related to coral. known as a zooid, the bluebottle (or portugese man of war) is a colonial animal composed of many highly specialized and physiologically integrated individual organisms incapable of independent survival.
the blue dragon – a type of nudibranch, here no larger than a thumbnail, with its own potent sting – is able to eat the nematocysts (stinging cells) of the bluebottle without discharging them and internally relocate them to the tips of each one of the fingers you can see in the pictures.
for their part, the violet snails also feed on the bluebottles.
notes matt, “despite their potentially dangerous sting, the bluebottle is an amazingly beautiful creature. with strong winds, hundreds of these cnidaria are blown into the bays around my home town and trapped overnight.”
this allows him to capture the above shots, which he creates with use of a fluorescent tube in his strobe light and a homemade waterproof lens dome.

It reminds me of the “bike to work” movement. That is also portrayed as white, but in my city more than half of the people on bike are not white. I was once talking to a white activist who was photographing “bike commuters” and had only pictures of white people with the occasional “Black professional” I asked her why she didn’t photograph the delivery people, construction workers etc. … ie. the Black and [Latin@] and Asian people… and she mumbled something about trying to “improve the image of biking” then admitted that she didn’t really see them as part of the “green movement” since they “probably have no choice” –
I was so mad I wanted to quit working on the project she and I were collaborating on.
So, in the same way when people in a poor neighborhood grow food in their yards … it’s just being poor– but when white people do it they are saving the earth or something.
