I'm a little concerned about the geological state of the western hemisphere, based on this still from the Jetsons' opening credits. Texas and all of the west coast seem to be missing from north america 😱

Alaska's flag may not have the excellent colors of NM or AZ, but I love it. Simple, elegant, obviously what it is, and yes, designed by a school kid.

Ah, so this is what people mean when they say "find your community"...

People are losing the spirit of the Ides of March. It's not about just stabbing. It's about coming together to stab in groups.

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, twelve birds a-mobbing, eleven ants yadda yadda ya. #VintageVictorianChristmasCards

A vintage Christmas card showing a line of marching birds (mostly if not all English sparrows), each holding a flaming torch. They appear to be walking on a cloud, with a starry night sky in the background. The text reads "May all jollity 'LIGHTEN' your Christmas hours."

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me, eleven ants a-ranching, ten gnomes yadda yadda ya. #VintageVictorianChristmasCards

A vintage Christmas card showing a group of ants portrayed as peasant farmers. The ants are walking upright on two legs, wearing traditional eastern European "peasant" clothing, and leading aphids like livestock. Several ants are carrying sheaves of some kind of vegetation, while another is carrying two buckets. Many of the ants are in "family" groups, with one or two larger "adult" ants and one or two smaller "child" ants. The caption reads "The evening return, ants and their cattle". The words "The compliments of the season" are embedded into the picture three separate times.

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, ten gnomes bird-knapping an irritated-looking flamingo, nine dinos yadda yadda ya. #VintageVictorianChristmasCards

A vintage Christmas card showing several gnomes (resembling traditional garden gnomes, with various colors of hats and clothing) that seem to have taken a flamingo prisoner. Ropes are attached to each of the bird's legs, as well as one around its neck and another around its beak. The landscape is snowy hills, with gray cloudy skies in the background. There is no caption.

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, nine dinos laughing, eight wild orchestral yadda yadda ya. #VintageVictorianChristmasCards

A vintage Christmas card showing a group of Victorian-imagined dinosaurs (that is, we now believe they looked much different than the Victorians believed they looked) and other ancient reptiles surrounding a stone block engraved with the words "The compliments of the season". From left to right, the creatures appear to be a crocodile, a sauropod, an ichthyosaur, a megalosaur (depicted as a quadruped instead of the modern depiction as a biped), a pterosaur, a plesiosaur, an iguanodon (again, a Victorian-era depiction), another crocodilian, and another pterosaur. The creatures are viewing a drawing of a human male in Victorian-era clothes, including a top hat and what appears to be a handheld umbrella/walking stick. The creatures are laughing at the drawing. The caption reads "Ideal impression of a future creation discovered by Professors Ichthyosaurus and Megalosaurus".

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, eight wild orchestral monkeys, seven Pleistocene yadda yadda ya. #VintageVictorianChristmasCards

A vintage Christmas card showing an orchestra comprised of fully clothed monkeys playing various string and brass instruments, with many of the monkeys rocking their chairs or entirely out of their seats due to the enormous energy of their playing. A conductor monkey is standing on a box above the orchestra, conducting with great enthusiasm. None of the monkeys are wearing shoes. The text reads "Xmas Greetings" and "Allegro Furioso".

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me, seven Pleistocene beasts dancing, six invertebrates yadda yadda ya. #VintageVictorianChristmasCards

A vintage Christmas card showing a frozen lake with several large beasts, most of them dancing on their hind legs. From left to right: a hippo head sticking out of a hole in the ice; another hippo standing on its hind legs; a creature that might be a giant sloth except it has a short trunk; a woolly rhino; a woolly mammoth; and a large elk. The text reads "The compliments of the Season" and "A Rink in the Glacial Period".

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, four flailing frogs, three panning yadda yadda ya. #VintageVictorianChristmasCards

A vintage Christmas card showing four frogs flat on their backs on the ice with their ice skate-clad feet sticking straight up. The caption reads "A hearty Christmas greeting." In the lower right corner is the following poem: Four jovial froggies/a-skating would go/They had asked their mama/but she'd sternly said "No!"/And they all came to grief in a beautiful row/There's a great Christmas moral for one not too slow./Just go!
