A post called "Of Sparrows and Curtain Rods," dated 10/10/2009, detailing the comment of user Davis X. Machina on Balloon Juice:

The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.

I've been quilting for years but had never attempted foundation paper piecing before. It makes lining up tricky angles so much easier; I wish I'd explored it ages ago.

Cartoon depicting an old white guy (which is important context) with a huge heap of cookies on his plate.  He's talking to a working-class white guy (hard hat, high-vis vest) with one cookie on his plate.  The old white guy is pointing to a male POC and saying, "Careful, mate...that foreigner wants your cookie."

Anyway, eat the rich.

On a somewhat related note I recently found out that the show's creator, Katie Dippold, was the one responsible for this viral tweet a few years back. Made my day.

I love this one too. The average American kindergartener can obviously read Cyrillic.
A screenshot from the cartoon saying, "You can see how Russian political views are woven into the plot.  For instance, the railcar in the yard where the character lives is marked 'Moscow-Beijing'--hardly a coincidence."

The sign in question is in Cyrillic.

I think about this one a lot.
A sculpture depicting a woman with long flowing hair.  There are various tweets by men praising it as "the legacy and heritage of the West," followed by a tweet saying, "the sculptor is a chinese woman you dork ass losers" along with a photo of the artist, Luo Li Rong, with the same sculpture.

I am thinking today of Motel of the Mysteries, a delightful book detailing a long-future excavation of a standard motel. I encountered it before I read about Schliemann’s excavations of Troy, and when I saw the pictures of his wife wearing jewelry from the hoard I thought, "Wait a minute…."
Sophia Schliemann wearing jewelry from the "Troy" hoard.  It's an elaborate headpiece, earrings, and necklaces.An illustration from "Motel of the Mysteries," featuring an archaeologist wearing a toilet seat/lid with a "Sanitized for your protection" band, toothbrush earrings, and a bathtub plug necklace. Her hairdo and facial expression make it clear that this is a copy of the Schliemann Troy jewelry thing.
