Check out this quilt at the St Louis Art Museum. It was made in 1848 by 8 friends. The applique and quilting on this is absolutely exquisite! And I love that it was embellished with embroidery and button holes. #quiltsky #applique #handsewn #quilt #quilts #vintage #quilting #stlouisartmuseum

Without help, it's impossible for me to get a picture of this whole thing, but I finished tacking the final border down and the top is officially done. #quiltsky

I'm so fucking tired of shitty "news" outlets such as Legis1 and CBS plagiarizing me, and even more tired of AI slop. Joanne Levine, Managing Editor of Legis1, admitted her plagiarism came from AI scraping to "write" her articles. There's more shit, but what's the point? To hell with all of them.

Good night, lovely people and lovely dogs. I'm wishing you the very best for the week to come.

Dozens of technicians will fire off about 851,000 fireworks on July 4, aiming to break a world record in what organizers hope will be the "most memorable display this generation will have ever seen."

Amazing data, but this is only a partial list of climate solutions Take the top one - solar. Solar's only really a climate solution if it displaces fossil fuels, but actions that counter the fossil fuel industry don't feature in the list Campaigning of all kinds is a vital climate solution too!

What *actually* works — right here, right now — to address climate change? Here you go. This is the result of thousands of hours of painstaking research and analysis from the Project Drawdown team.

AC saves lives, but it also increases risk of catastrophe if there's a blackout during a heatwave. One recent study projected that a three day blackout in Phoenix during a heatwave would send half the population of the city to hospital emergency rooms. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

", “[t]he presumption of regularity that has been previously extended to the [government] that it could be taken at its word—with little doubt about its intentions...—no longer holds.”... (“To the extent the DOJ has urged trust, . . . it must understand why its assurances are cold comfort.”)."
