Happy Winter Solstice!
Beer can, pinhole camera photos of the Summer to Winter Solstice (2024) and the Winter to Summer Solstice (2025).
You never know quite what you're going to get with these photos, set the beer can pointing towards the sun at hopefully the correct angle and wait 6 months!

So excited to dive into this new book by @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social. Taxes are how we care for each other. Those with wealth have always tried to hoard power too. And look where it’s taking us!

MilleniOs (1999-2000): To ring in Y2K, Cheerios released this special edition, brown sugar-sweetened variant, with "2"-shaped cereal pieces that would spell "2000" when placed next to three "Os". They also encouraged consumers to use the boxes as time capsules for the "once in a lifetime" event

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me!
