  • Cocoa could be another visual interpretation as well, and based on some very cursory searching it looks like both have a history in Spanish colonial Puerto Rico. Now that you’ve brought up that visual aspect, the bowls remind me a bit of volcanic stone metates that are used to grind up cocoa beans (although I’m familiar with that through Costa Rica, not PR).

  • When they want to visit NYC, my in-laws will take a train for hours to avoid driving in the city and I absolutely don’t blame them. It’s the speed of a mall parking lot on Black Friday and the same stress as highway driving. I’d much rather deal with the fairly low chance of seeing a dude whip it out on the subway.

  • The movement in this is so cool, both in the human figure and the representation of the cliff face. It reminds me a lot of Bird in Space.

    Edit: oh, I just zoomed in and saw the petroglyphs at the bottom! What a neat detail to have added.

  • They used to do sugar cubes saturated with vaccine for polio, we should go back to that. I know there are reasons they stopped using it, but Americans are definitely more likely to eat sugar than get vaccinated, so let’s just call it a wash in terms of health risks.

  • It definitely adds a layer of mystique! Part of me also wants to see water running down into the bowls from the mouth, I bet it would be really cool outside in the rain.

  • Is there any additional information about the piece, or a title? The toothy appearance of the wood carving and the stacked stone ‘bowls’ are interesting, but I’m not sure how to interpret it.

    1. Cool, that’s why my original comment says might. I don’t keep track of where random organizations employ people.
    2. You linked to a page about minimum wage, not the law related to job postings. Again, this law does not state that the posting must be for employee positions.

    Any criticism you don’t like hearing isn’t FUD. This would be a shit practice even if it wasn’t illegal in California.

    1. doesn’t matter as long as they have employees in California
    2. doesn’t state it must be for employees only, it’s for any job posting

  • Salary and remuneration will be commensurate with experience and aligned with industry standards

    Neat, this might violate California law!

    The law states that any employer with “15 or more employees” must include “the pay scale for a position in any job posting.”

    At least 1 of those 15 employees “must be currently located in California,” according to the Department of Industrial Relations website. And, for the companies this applies to, a job posting must have a pay range “if the position may ever be filled in California, either in-person or remotely.”

  • There are treaties giving certain rights to First Nations/Native American groups that you don’t get from being a US citizen. One of those is the right to freely travel between the US and Canada for hunting and fishing on traditional lands. These are rights Canada recognized when they signed the Jay Treaty in 1794. I don’t know if that’s the exact treaty that would be used in this case, but the relationships between and the legal rights of Native Americans and First Nations aren’t always cut off at the border.

    I hope she milked the fuck out of that for any papers she needed to write during university, lol. Imagine being able to legitimately cite yourself on a paper.
