I see the need for some stylish flash mobs. Can we have this lovely bit done to the town hall fleers?

Appears to be exuberant youth being instigated by constant federal violence. IMO.

I keep thinking of Steinbeck’s cardboard suitcases. They would smear leather polish on the outside of pressed cardboard and the inside was lined with cloth so the buyer could not see that it was cardboard and not leather until it rained.

I know names from personal experience. They are mostly right wingers.

They are blackmailing both dems and GOP and as far as I am concerned, they are cowards for putting their ego in front of their service to the nation. I would have so much more respect for someone who admits a wrong, and comes clean. Blackmail is for life.

Takes an Act of Congress to legally do that.

This is embezzlement or mis-appropriation.

People get so weird about blocking, as though it's punishment for something. And I understand. But also:

People have the right to curate their spaces. If someone needs to NOT have me in THEIR space for their peace, good for them! I don't have the right to be in someone else's space.

🧵 Many of you never knew of a prison riot that took place in Vietnam. It involved incarcerated U.S. soldiers, most of whom were Black.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

This is "Shades Of The Past" by Vicki Campbell. The fabric line is designed by Jera Brandvig for the Maywood Studio. There are 17 retro fabrics in the line and Vickie used them all. She said it reminded her of the sweet dresses her mom sewed for her so many years ago.

Back in the 90s when neo-nazi skinheads were everywhere, people wore colored laces in their Doc Martens to signify which side they were on. Red meant nazi, one black one white meant anti-racist, blue meant neutral, and green meant you like frogs and were anti-fascist. Been thinking about that a lot.

a good “this is what twitter was for” thread was when someone pretty definitively and with evidence traced the etymology of “triscuit” to “electricity biscuit” because harnessable electricity was pretty new at the time and they were like futuristic crackers
