Photographers document the ganja-harvesting 'nuns' of California

This series of photographs by Shaughn Crawford and John DuBois gives us a glimpse into the lives of two California 'nuns' who grow weed in their garage for various pot-laced health products. We see the Sisters of the Valley cultivating, harvesting and preparing cannabidiol tinctures, salves, and other goods in their Merced house. What's interesting is they only make their medicine according to moon cycles in accordance with ancient knowledge and traditions.

Although Sister Kate and her apprentice, Sister Darcy, wear habits, the women are not Catholics. They don't follow any sort of traditional religion, but rather see themselves as a spiritual sisterhood devoted to healing the sick — with pot.

"We spend no time on bended knee, but when we make our medicine it's a prayerful environment. It's a prayerful time," Sister Kate said.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

It’s now been fifty-eight years since Walt Disney died of lung cancer, and as a great way to remember his legacy is watch this short film he did in 1929. It’s truly impressive, and you can still see the impact he made on animation today.

This may interest someone.
