When colonization came to call in the US, many folks wrote about america as a pristine Eden whose forest were filled with delights and bounty. This was because indigenous folk (Like mine) built up food forest. Things that were razed and destroyed as a part of racist violence. Colonization is ongoing

Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

If I had gotten hit by a car to get this photo it would have been worth it
A man in a black helmet and khaki motorcycle gear rides his motorcycle down a street in Manhattan. In the motorcycle’s sidecar, a dog that looks like a heeler mix stands at attention with his front paws up on the front of the sidecar, his eyes protected by a set of khaki motorcycle goggles. The dog is wearing a harness that sort of looks like a biker vest. He appears to be having the time of his life.

My husband is in charge of machine sewing, so he usually makes the kids' Halloween costumes. But I'm in charge of crafting, so when my 12-year-old asked for a "mushroom fairy hat" this year, I knew that'd be on me. And I was worried. But based on what we have so far, I think it might turn out okay!

For years, Harding University had a tradition of putting out an American flag for each victim of 9/11. My dad, who passed in August, led the push to collect and include flags representing the nationality of every person who died that day. It’s something I’m very proud of.
Since 2003, the American Studies Institute Distinguished Scholars Honors program has been involved in leading the Harding community in remembering the victims of the September I1, 2001 terrorist attack. The 9-ıı Never Forget memorial flag project began in 2010 when the ASI students decided to join in the national Never Forget project created by Young America's Foundation, honoring those who lost their lives in the attack. In zo1l, the Pi Sigma Alpha organization, under the faculty sponsorship of Dr. Mark Elrod, joined ASi students by honoring the international victims and the countries they represented, correctly reflecting the international impact the attack made. The two organizations have since made this a joint service project, symbolizing the common bond we all share as those who remember the lives that were lost on September 11, 2001United Kingdom flags, donated by the Searcy HS Beta Club (total victims, 67)Background, Philippines

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.
