The St. Louis city flag, but at the confluence of rivers sits not a fleur de lis, but rather Big Mac the Orange Cat, screaming loudly to draw attention to the Gateway Arch made of cubes he's found.

You've seen how wild we can get, but the third cube at #STL^3 takes us back to a simpler time. One final vintage cube, but found in a time capsule from 2003. @rollerderbykaya.bsky.social's Reject Modernity is a beautiful love letter to an age gone by, full of plenty of love and old border foils.

Trying to build your first cube got you down? Well @usmantherad.com is here to help! During the #STL^3 Top 8 draft, Usman will be hosting "Cube Building for Dummies" and give you the tips and tricks you need to build the cube of your dreams!

Big Mac the orange cat is falling from his perch, making eye contact with Usman's camera. It's giving "Father, why hast thou forsaken me."
(No cats were harmed in the taking of the this photo. Usman prolly got scratched tho. Idk.)
