Oh, military gentlemen, they bluster, roar and pray. Nine sailors on the Nancy, boys, made fifty run away. The powder in their hair that day was powder sent their way By poor and ragged sailor men, who swore that they would stay.

Has the Internet collectively forgotten what #MeToo was about? And all the times before and since when a 'scandal' about male sexual violence broke and everyone acted like it was a surprise? Good lord we're sick of fighting the same battle.

"why don't men wear more color." i only dress for the approval of dogs, who mostly see blue, white, gray, black, and brown in the way that we do, so i don't wear other colors.

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.
There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The top shows a field of green and straw colored fields with bits of purple flowers. Below is a a series of checked brown tweed that reflect the colors in the landscape above it. A swatch book of solid-colored tweeds. The green tweed has visible flecks of red, gold, and blue.

there literally is no system that is abuse proof, so at a certain point you’re just against the abstract concept of authority or power in general. I think about this when it comes to ALPRs for traffic enforcement. Like if you want to have laws at all, you have to give someone power.

I feel like this photo really typifies my at-home vibe. I know how to can, and also I have a Costco card.
A wire basement shelf. On the top are many quart jars of pickles, filters for an air cleaner, and a pressure canner. The second shelf has canning tools and supplies, stewed tomatoes, last year's pickles, and small jars of cranberry sauce. The middle shelf has a Costco-sized bale of paper towels and 30 jars of giardinier, plus ziploc bags in several sizes and a flat of water. The shelf below has more paper towels and also toilet paper, different size ziploc bags, and a bin of heritage home textiles. The bottom shelf is two printers, a box of drawing notebooks, and an array of old laptops. Off to the right you can see bins containing legos and more clothes.
