I've been trying out ways to engage with the Fediverse to see what works best for me. Not really clicked with Pixelfed so if you'd like to see more from me you can find me at @SpellsAgainstCivilisation@mastodon.art

Autumn

#October #Pumpkin #Squash #Vegetables #Halloween #Autumn

supermarket shelf with three baskets of squashes. The left basket has small, fairly flat, bright orange ones with very pronounced ridges. The middle one has mixed orange and green squashes of different shapes. The right one has white squashes with slight ridges.

A couple more from #LightUpNewMills

Window display with fairy lights running around the left and bottom edge of a four-paned window. The lights also run diagonally from top left to bottom right, and then run at varying angles in this lower diagonal half of the display. Small packets of sweets are also hung on the diagonal string. On the window sill are a larger sweet packet, a round tub of sweets, two tall vases filled with sweets, and several miniature pumpkins.

Window display of black paper cut-out designs. To the left and right sides of the window are trees, each with a bird sitting in a branch. Between the trees are large mushrooms and falling acorns. The background is grey-blue with autumnal leaves falling down. Fairy lights have been placed behind and shine through.

Had a little wander around town last night and spotted some of the #LightUpNewMills window displays.

#NewMills #NewMillsFestival #NewMillsArt

Two rows of three panels featuring black paper cut-out designs, all set within a thick black border that frames the images like a window. Top left to bottom right, the images are a windmill on yellow background; a loaf of bread on yellow-orange; a person wearing a traditional chef's hat, holding a loaf and a rolling pin, on sky blue; a person putting a loaf into an oven, on pink; two gingerbread men above a tiered cake, on green; a windmill on orange. Beneath this on a green panel with thick black background cut-out text reads "W.Potts & Son", with a piece of wheat on either side. Behind all of this on the window is a muted yellow background with light shining through, and the shadows of lots of stars hanging at different angles.

Two fairy houses made from a mushroom and a watering can. They are surrounded by lots of artificial fly agaric mushrooms, autumnal leaves, flowers and fairy lights.

Blue tarpaulin hanging behind a window. In front of the tarp are vertical strings of different coloured fairy lights, each ending in a large star, and paper cut outs of fish, turtles and jellyfish in different colours.

What an absolute pleasure to see Naomi Kendrick's gorgeous work in her studio today, and to chat to her and Patty Doran. New Mills keeps gifting us new connections to wonderful creative folk.

A huge gunnera leaf which has been dried. It is pale golden brown and its stem and veins have been painted bright red. The leaf curls at the tips, giving it a form that is almost hand or claw-like.

Took my partner for a birthday-part-two visit to Pigs In the Wood sanctuary. Pigs! And goats! And some chickens (not pictured 😂). Had such a good time, it's a brilliant place and deserving of more support.

Patrick, a white man with shaved head and short beard, is crouching down next to a pink and grey pig, brushing their side with a stiff brush.

A pig with short, curly, yellow-brown hair, long snout and big ears that droop over their face. They are walking through woodland on a wooden walkway.

The face of a pig, who is very hairy and is yellow-brown coloured with large black patches. Their large ears droop over the face.

A black and white goat with long, curling brown horns and a long white beard. They turn their head to their right and seem to have a slight smile, as goats do.

Positive graffiti.

A red painted toilet wall with graffiti in black pen, which says "Im having a nice time" with a little smiley face underneath.

A red painted toilet wall with graffiti in black pen, which says "Jack finished his PHD!!!" with a heart under it.

A red painted toilet wall with graffiti in black pen. Someone has written "you are enough!" with a heart underneath, which has recently been updated with a bold letter K to say "you are Kenough!"

Another from #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs at the People's History Museum.

Admittedly I didn't watch the full video that this text was displayed next to, so this may have been addressed, but I think it's important to note that while the social model of disability can be a good starting point, it isn't a true representation of the full picture.
Just looking at autism, if we removed all of the stigma, all of the systemic stuff and the things other people do that can stop autistic people thriving, things like executive dysfunction would still exist. The repercussions from executive dysfunction may be smaller in, say, a workplace or relationship, and it's possible that dysfunction may be reduced by lower stress levels, but it wouldn't stop it from existing. Like, great, everyone's fine with autism now but the dishes are still piling up 😂 So I think it's important to talk about this in a more nuanced way rather than just the binary options of medical model/social model.

Gallery sign in the style of a protest placard. White text on black background reads, "The Social Model of Disability. This exhibition is underpinned by the Social Model of Disability. The Social Model focuses on the barriers disabled people face, not their impairments or perceived impairments. 'Impairment' means a difference in mind or body to what society expects. Some people do not view their difference as an impairment. 'Disability' means the barriers people with impairments face in society. These barriers can be because of people's attitudes, how the world is physically built or how the world is organised and services provided. The Social Model states that disabled people are disabled by society and not by their impairments and that society is responsible for removing the barriers disabled people face, in order to enable disabled people to be an equal, included and valued part of society."

I saw a picture of this brand of marmalade, I think from one of the #OFMD crew's behind the scenes posts, saying this was what they used for the show.

And of course there are seven sugar cubes in the other jar, because it "wouldn't be the same with six."

a jar of Tiptree orange and tangerine marmalade, and a smaller square based jar containing seven white sugar cubes. They are on a surface covered in shiny red fabric. The bottom of a painting featuring a snake can be seen behind them.

Fans of #OurFlagMeansDeath will (I hope!) recognise this scene. The design is drawn directly from a household shrine from Pompeii (see second image).

The online #OFMD community are to thank for the Latin - not a literal translation of Lucius' words, but something that worked as a Latin phrase while maintaining the tone and meaning of the original.
