A surprisingly powerful sentence is "Take your time." To the cashier. The new employee. The person searching for the right words. The friend telling a difficult story. Not rushing someone is a form of kindness we don't talk about enough. 🧡

And talk to your people, find out if anybody needs help. They’ve added clutter to the process and a lot of people will lose care because they didn’t realize or understand it or get to it in time

Skid Row's talent show was organized by Rev. Gary Carr, who saw that the community had more to offer than what one of the largest U.S. homeless encampments has come to represent. Many sang or rapped songs they had written themselves about their struggles, hoping to inspire others.

The most blackpilling part of the last 10 years is that every liberal party in the industrialized ‘western’ world has embraced austerity, immigration restrictionism, and anti trans bigotry and it has objectively been a complete failure and their only idea is to just keep doubling down.

Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat? We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.

I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.

I’m not saying we should shed a tear for the financial impositions faced by multimillionaires. It’s just an illustrative point that the billionaires have *so much* money. They have so much more wealth than you imagined. This visualization has gotten much worse since 2012: youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM?...

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

Carol St. Clair Johnson
born 1954; resides Albuquerque, NM

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
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.

To finish, here's maybe the worst thing I've ever seen: Hot Dog Man. He and his horrible friend are in Syracuse, if you want to see these abominations live for some reason.

This thing is difficult to write alt text for in a Lovecraftian sense in that it's indescribably horrible. It's a six-foot anthropomorphic hot dog in a bun and some sort of wrapper. Its skin (?) tone is caucasian. It's squirting ketchup on its head with one hand, and its expression is one of concentration and, disturbingly, pleasure. Its tongue is out. There's mustard in its other hand, so clearly the party is just beginning. Its knees are bent in a slight crouch, and it's wearing sneakers and knee-high socks for some reason. It has eyebrows. Why does it have eyebrows?

A wider shot showing Hot Dog Man's accomplice, French Fry Guy. It's a six-foot conical package of fries. Its face is on the cardboard cone, so maybe the fries aren't actually part of its body? I hope so, because it's eating one and giving a thumbs-up. One eye is mostly closed, the other is wide but unseeing: the irises are black, and there's just a spot of grey in the middle of the pupils. Is this creature blind? It has heavy bags under its eyes and a wide mouth with obscenely red lips. The side that doesn't have a fry protruding from it is raised in a pointed, mocking smile. It also has shoes and socks.
