I'm not against property taxes because I'm a MAGA chud, I'm against property taxes because they're designed and implemented specifically to hit poor people harder. These types of taxes (also sales tax, payroll taxes, and even tobacco and alcohol taxes) are "regressive" taxes and shouldn't be used.

This is a cupboard from the 1800s. That means it was made around 200 years ago. That also means this cupboard has seen 200 years of history. Let's list some of the things this cupboard could have seen!
Large dark oak cupboard with a bunch of sick carvings that might indicate the people that made it really liked Norse imagery.

It made this seem much more ominous than I ever have
A fake vintage Burger King ad from a text generator. On a goldenrod background we see a graphic of a top and bottom hamburger bun and between them in red rounded sans-serif type is written:
MAYBE
IT [very large!]
WILL

and to left of that in a brown, bold slab serif typeface are the words:

Happen Today

And below all this is a photo of two hands holding a hamburger with, I must say, some very ominously red ketchup and tomatoes on it.

Always love to be reminded of this. A lot of it was hand-stitched too. Really amazing, precise work. Women’s work is so often minimised and forgotten.
Screenshot:

ALSO, it's not just little old ladies sewed the first spacesuits," it's "the women from the Playtex Corp were the only ones who could sew within the tolerances needed." Yes, THAT Playtex Corp, the one who makes bras.
Bra-makers sent us to the moon.
And the cool thing with them was that they did it all WITHOUT PINS, WITHOUT SEAM RIPPING and in ONE TRY. You couldn't use pins or re-sew seams because the spacesuits had to be airtight, so any additional holes in them were NO GOOD. They were also sewing to some STUPID tight tolerances-in our costume shop if you're within an eighth of an inch of being on the line, you're usually good. The Playtex ladies were working on tolerances of 1/32nd of an inch. 1/32nd. AND IN 21 LAYERS OF FABRIC.

A digital illustration of Statler and Waldorf, the sarcastic old man muppets, seen sitting in their opera box at the Muppet Theatre and heckling whatever is happening onstage. Probably Fozzie’s act. Starler is in the right with the big chin. Waldorf is in the left with the mustache and heavy lidded eyes. But the are almost always shown in the reverse order of their names. There are red curtains behind them and along with some bits of filigree in the front of their box are some brass (?) letters spelling out ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

curated meme by unknown author in two panels; it's a parody of a Worf quote: "Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them a millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth."; first panel of the meme is Quark of Star Trek DS9 behind the bar at Quark's, with text: I suppose your Capitalists are less sly than ours; second panel is Chief O'Brien, also in Quark's, but from a different episode, and he's in a dream state (maybe from "Visionary"?) with text: Our Capitalists are dead. Ancient human workers slew them centuries ago. They were more trouble than they were worth.

Chosen family has far more power than biological family. Colonialism is bad. Intimacy/vulnerability is a natural and important part of adult relationships. Children deserve safety and love and the chance to be kids.
