Beautiful friend from my collection. No date/info.

Black and white photo of a black medium haired cat lying on grass, looking up at the camera. It looks like it has pure white eyes with no pupils but it’s overwhelmingly likely that it's just light blow out from overexposure.

The Bob's Burgers illustrators love accurate buildings and infrastructure, down to the framing, plumbing, wiring. The boiler has an expansion tank. The power poles have transformers wired up just like they should be. There's a gas meter in the alley. The under-sink plumbing is detailed and correct

Recorded a podcast with Ryan Devans of Tailors' Keep. We talked about how Asian manufacturing nowadays is often better than US manufacturing. This pissed off a bunch of people on Instagram, but I think shoring up US manufacturing requires facing hard facts. Pod preview: pod.link/blamo/episod...

I love how the photo with this review implies that the sweater is for her cat and he'll "grow into it".

Photo of a shorthaired ginger and white cat lying on top of a navy blue cardigan. Text says "This is very soft and well made. It runs large. I ordered a large for my son and it almost fits my 2xl hubby. That said, i love it and really wish I'd ordered a small or medium. I will keep the large because my son will grow into it eventually and he loves how soft it is."

rainbow capitalism is important not as a statement of any corporation’s values (for that, look where they donate money and talk to LGBTQ employees!), but because they have access to consumer data we don’t have and they’re conservative by nature. a pendulum swing right now is useful data

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

This is kvass - a fermented drink of Slavic origin. This 15th recipe from the Domostroi, calls only for water, honey and bread. Let it ferment, strain, and bottle. It tasted like you’re drinking a loaf of fizzy rye bread and it’s delicious. youtu.be/oNmxLEHwaqY?...
