I was at an impressionable age for these ads, and now own a Subaru.

Finally, an ORIGINAL sin.

My favorite thing is Jesse saying "why? I mean we won."

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

It's just not plausible that someone is teleporting into a waffle house because waffle houses are anchored sites of hyperreality. I don't think tarot even works in them. If he was claiming that he spatially displaced into a denny's that'd be worth investigating

Excerpt from the nonfiction piece HE IS SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE by Jackie Hedeman on a blurred blue background. Quote: I drove the seven hours to visit her chewing on stick after stick of wintergreen Extra. I nearly shat myself, barely mking it to the first Kum & Go over the Minnesota state line. The source of all this tumult was a very prosaic thing: I'd never dated before and I didn't know what I was supposed to do.

The moment we read "He Is Survived by His Wife" by @jackiehedeman.bsky.social, we knew this stunning essay would be the perfect closer for Issue 1. How do you want to be remembered? How do you want to be loved? 💜

They Pay $34 for Burgers. Should Their Child Care Be Free?

My school district uses Blocksy to "keep the kids safe"

It is controlled by a married couple (I wish I was joking)

It blocks

I have a heating pad that goes over my shoulders, and heats the front and back of my chest. It feels really good, and the warmth lasts longer than tea

I’m not a mom, but I’ve noticed that “wine mom” and “Patagonia wearing mom” and “moms pushing strollers” are cited as people who aren’t expected to take political action, or even to hold strong opinions. You all had moms, why do you think so little of her? Because she made you eat veggies? Grow up.

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing

Ope! Sorry!

Peoria, Bloomington and Normal join nationwide 'No Kings' protests "No Kings" rallies were held Saturday in Peoria, Bloomington and Normal as part of a nationwide day of protests against the Trump administration. Big crowds turned out at each location, with attendees...

I know some of those names 😅

if we’re talking young wizard books I must recommend Diane Duane’s young wizards books, which I adored as a child

also, while they are not technically about wizards, Dealing with Dragons/Searching for Dragons by Patricia Wrede are also phenomenal fantasy reads for kids

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

A woman in a light purple wig sits in passenger seat of zamboni, holding a banner which states "no ICE, no more, no kings, no fear" in same font and colors as Minnesota Frost team iconography.

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.
No ICE
No War
No Kings

No Fear.

I also still have copies I’m selling, if you’re looking for one! (Buying books from the author lets the author keep the profit)

We got them DENSE BRAINS baby

Lalia Edwards receives her gold medal

Just a little

I wish people understood how much unseen labor goes into every visible ounce of activism

and how much labor by so many people towards change is deliberately invisible and never meant to be known

More about the structure of early Egyptian knitting The earliest known specimen of true knitting has been dated to 425-594 CE. By comparison with similar objects from Egypt, it may also have originated there.

With Nele's info, i found this nice English article about it loopholes.blog/2017/12/stru...

Thanks

Cool! can you share more details or a reference for it? Id love to learn more about it

And it was awesome

Bars

As a genre of food

I'll keep the good Jell-O salad, y'all don't deserve it

Yeah, it's usually nålbinding, but in this case time travel is funnier

It's either not knit, not that old, or a huge development in the history of knitting. Or.... a time traveler
