This week is all about alternate timelines—past, present, future: Joan of Arc traveling to Mars, Neanderthals rocking the fashions of the 1960s, your world if things had turned out differently, wherever your imagination takes you...

Bicycle background from a photo by Ai Weiwei. Mismatched man parts from Tom Tierney paper dolls. Fish are male sockeye salmon in ocean phase (grey) vs. spawning phase (red).
