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.

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.

"That I’ll recognize you in the coffee shop after all these years, that you’ll see my long scraggly mop and pierced nose as the bell chimes over the door knowing it’s me, and you’ll stand from the loveseat and open your arms..." 🔥 👀 from Lauren Kardos www.havehashad.com/mcqgx

Three wishes and a secret

That I’ll recognize you in the coffee shop after all these years, that you’ll see my long scraggly mop and pierced nose as the bell chimes over the door knowing it’s me, and you’ll stand from the loveseat and open your arms. That we’ll refill our mugs until our fingers jitter, our hearts race, until the baristas side-eye us near closing, two women on the wrong side of forty with Cheshire cat smiles and laughing to tears, saying remember when so-and-so jumped the bonfire with her vaulting pole, saying I hear he runs the bank downtown now. That you’ll ask me to dinner because it’s been too long and maybe, if I’m up to it, we can split a cheesecake for dessert and play what was once our favorite game, the one you always said was better than truth or dare, the one that revealed a week before graduation that I was moving away, packed and ticket in-hand for a city across the country, that I wasn’t bringing you. That behind all these three

Taking women's rights away is always the goal (trans women VERY much included). Destroying oppressed groups is always the goal. Gaining/hoarding power is always the goal.

I did not know—the founding member of Avalon, Christian singing group from the 90's, was kicked out for being gay. He re-released Testify to Love, this time in a gay way. I'm a queer ex-Christian estranged from my family because of their beliefs. I'm so fucking emotional about this story/song.

Men can & should be advocating for abortion. Saying abortion is a "woman’s issue" both excludes trans, intersex, & non-binary folks who get abortions, and ignores the reality that abortion access impacts everyone.

But what is rarely mentioned is the negative effect that this pinkwashing has on our LGBTQ+ nonprofits, Pride-goers and the entire spirit of Pride. The efforts of our nonprofits to keep up with the (Edward) Joneses means we spend money we don’t really have to compete for Pride-goers’ attention.

Yes, Trump should absolutely be disqualified from holding office for a LOT of reasons, including sexual abuse. Do you think putting someone else who commits sexual abuse in office would be better? If so, why do you even dislike Trump in the first place?

This is a great thing to say but it doesn't mean much when you look at the excessive wealth the Catholic Church possesses or remember the history of violence they've wrought. Not to mention the pedophelia, colonialism, and general religious trauma they've inflicted on the world.

Laugh/Scream

My sweet baby laughs, says
he probably shouldn’t wear 
his glow-in-the-dark shirt 
to school anymore because 
he glows under the desk 
during active shooter drills, 
and I swallow a scream.

For the love of God, Trump is not starting a war to make us forget about the Epstein files. Our rulers love getting rich off of war and they do not care about the Epstein files. They have proven over and over that they don't care about laws or morality. They only care about money and power.
