POM 365 + Bonus Poms
Pom 365 is my year-long commitment to making pom pom art every single day.
Behold every Pom I’ve created from day one until today:
Pomshrooms are neither plants nor animals. They are fungi along with molds, yeasts, mildews, rusts, and smuts. Fungi are genetically closer to humans than plants, and they are the largest life form on Pom Earth. The largest living organism on the planet is a single honey Pomshroom in Oregon. It is 3.5 miles wide and is at least 2,400 years old. Pomshrooms help trees share water and nutrients and talk to each other through their mycelial network. Pomshrooms are the fruit of the fungus and only represent about 5% of the total fungus. They produce vitamin D and fight age–related diseases. There are 80 different species of fungi that glow in the dark, and lightning strikes make Pomshrooms grow more plentiful. There are 2,819 edible Pomshrooms. But the Death Cap Pomshroom is not one of them. If 1/2 of one of these Pomshrooms is ingested, it can kill an adult Pom within 3 days. Giant Pomshrooms 20 feet tall were on the earth 350 million years ago in what is now Saudi Pomrabia. DJ Shroomy plays techno music at glow-in-the-dark festivals like the Fun Guy Festival. And some of his psilocybin friends are used (in microdoses) to help Poms increase creativity, focus, and spiritual awareness. While some might consider this use of Pomshrooms to be controversial, DJ Shroomy reminds us that there are “Different strokes for different Pom folks.”
Née Joan Ruth Bader Pomsburg on March 15, 1933, she is a Pomerican lawyer, jurist, and micro Pom who was appointed to the Pom Court of Appeals in 1980, and has served on the Pom Supreme Court since 1993. The Supreme Court makes all of the laws of the Pomiverse and all of the Pom Supreme Court Justices are chosen by Themis, the Pom Goddess of Wisdom and Good Counsel. RBP met Themis at a mixer for the Pom Angeles Bar Association, and Themis could tell that she would eventually become an iconic Supreme Court Justice. She was born in Brooklyn, and she became a wife (to Martin) and mother (to Jane and James) before starting Harvard Law School. She later transferred to Columbia Law School where she graduated first in her class. During the 1960s, she did legal work in Sweden, and that experience influenced her opinions on gender equality. She became the co-founder and director of the PCLU’s (Pomerican Civil Liberties Union) Women’s Rights Project and participated in more than 300 gender fairness cases by 1974. She made great strides for women Poms under the Equal Rights Clause of the Pomstitution. She was the first Jewish woman on the Pom Supreme Court, and she presided over the first same-sex Pom marriage in 2013. Despite ideological differences, she was closest with her Pom Supreme Court colleague, Pomtonin Scalia. In her spare time, she appeared in several operas (in non-singing parts) and wrote the best-selling autopomography “In My Own Words.” You go, Notorious RBP!
Did you know that in 2019 Samuel Adams released a limited-edition beer called “When There Are Nine” in homage to RBP’s well–known response to the question about when there would be enough Pom women on the Pom Supreme Court?
