It's another insane week for good-looking berries at Haymarket. We're talking case quantities for what a pack or two costs retail.

Boston's suburbs are fake.

Still one of the smartest modern American political histories, and one that does the most to undermine my optimism about political change in the U.S.

I know everyone involved is extremely dead, but I think it's important that we conclusively establish that Roscoe Arbuckle (allegations aside) < Roscoe Arbuckle's dog Luke.

Ad from an old newspaper. To the left there's some chap (maybe Mr. Dr. Chamley?) with a mustache looking off to the left. The text from top to bottom reads: "I Will Give $1000 if I fail to cure any CANCER or Tumor I treat before it scatters or affects the ribs or other bones. NO KNIFE! NO PAIN I NO PAY UNTIL CURED 1000 Cancers in alcohol now in my office. Lady attendant. Any hard lump anywhere is Cancer.

Life-long slaver Thomas Jefferson in 1787 on how any just God was bound to eventually crush the U.S. in the name of the enslaved:
"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep forever: that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events: that it may become probable by supernatural interference! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest."

My meadow, like many first-time native meadows, started out with a not-great seed mix. Loads of stuff I've had to rip out (looking at you, blanket flower). But today I discovered that a seed from three years ago picked this year to become the extremely-rare-in-New England Oligoneuron rigidum!

Either someone is setting bait for a very specific mugging or an alien won a storage auction.
An ad taped to a light pole, printed on standard printer paper. Inexplicably, the edges are torn. Most of the ad is the American Girl logo. Text below that reads: "AMERICAN GIRL DOLL FOR SALE: $80; I live in the area so just know we can always meet a [sic] local train stop of your choosing. I only contact through email please make sure to know that the price includes clothing." Another area of text is set off to the right by a line. It reads: "Pre-used doll from the era of 2000s if you would like to buy the doll; contact me at" and then the email address has been scribbled out (by me).

It figures that a fucked up day like this is the same day I find my first legitimate "they don't know what they have" treasure in a thrift shop:
The left side of Folio XXVI from Tercia etas Mundi of the Nuremberg Chronicle. I don't know Latin, but I'm pretty sure it's depicting the descendants of Jacob and their wives (where relevant) and connecting them via a family plant (decidedly not a tree). The images of the various descendants are hand-colored, though clearly some have faded with time.

Between the Civil War and 1932, Republicans were the party of government, with a virtual monopoly on the presidency and the Senate (Cleveland and Wilson as the rare exceptions). Any other state of affairs was essentially unthinkable through the 1920s. Then this happened and remade the U.S.:
Cropped image of a chart showing partisan control of the U.S. presidency and legislature from 1931-1933 through 1995-1997. On the left side of the chart, Republican control of Congress collapses and is replaced by half a century of Democratic control, with a few very brief interludes aside from Republican control of the Senate in the 80s. The presidency belongs to the Dems for 20 years before the parties trade off more regularly and the Reagan years happen.

I'm so, so tired of the antisociality. The little one sometimes goes crazy if she's alone. But that's my problem, not everyone else's. Also, how can you spend more than a day or two with a dog and not understand that, despite your best efforts, they're always going to be kind of gross?
