I agree with the Trip Advisor reviewers, Cinema Cafe is a gem. Everything’s fresh, even the banana trees. Done (very quickly) on an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil in Paper 53 and iColorama.
Cat
Something happened the other day in one of my cat poses. I had a nasal breakthrough. Related yoga posts.

If the linguist in Arrival spoke Pittsburghese
I never ever thought I’d hear anyone say “Sapir-Whorf hypothesis” in a movie, but I heard it in Arrival! Ok, it was a science fiction film. See trailer here. Linguistics professor Louise Banks (Amy Adams) is asked to help the United States communicate with aliens, and she’s the one who talks about the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.
I liked the movie, but something inside me made me wonder how it would have been different if Professor Banks had been fluent in Pittsburghese. See yinz.

Nēnē
Branta sandvicensis, also known as nēnē and Hawaiian goose, is a species of goose found on the Hawaiian Islands. We certainly saw our share. They’re tagged because they’re endangered. I wanted a proper reference photo, and did I ever hit the jackpot with this one on Flickr.
