If you are someone who enjoys relatively mainstream disco, country, and pop from the late 70s/early 80s, Philly AIDS Thrift got in several thousand jukebox 45s (mostly without picture sleeves) from that era for $2-3. I got 2 Donna Summer singles and Shannon “Give Me Tonight”.

Pseudoarchaeology is one of the foundations of white supremacy & Far Right politics. It’s always chilling to talk to kids who’re already convinced archaeologists hide the truth & dismiss trained professionals with loaded terms such as “orthodox,” “conventional,” or “establishment” archaeologists.

Hello new friends! I think it is time to share once again the most joyful thing in my life.
You know what that means.

In my panic earlier when I thought I’d lost the rest of the turkey hats, I somehow failed on the Q part of a QT. But now the story has a happy ending: the skeletons all have their turkey hats & the ghosts have their elf hats, altho my brother is probably beginning to deeply regret this visit
