Who is your father, my pretty maid?
My father's a farmer, sir, she said.
What is your fortune, my pretty maid?
My face is my fortune, sir, she said.
Then I can't marry you, my pretty maid.
Nobody asked you, sir, she said.

Where are you going, my pretty maid?
I'm going a-milking, sir, she said.
May I come with you, my pretty maid?
I thank you kindly, sir, she said.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

I am begging the men in the Trump family to try literally any other hairstyle.

Poetry is a bird
perched lightly on the back
of all that is fickle
and dangerous in this world...

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

I wonder if people with only mild ulcerative colitis feel left out by the Rinvoq commercials

This is Hippo. He's visiting Scotland for the first time. Had no idea they made squeaky toys for humans too. 14/10 (TT: kelseydarragh)

Gentle reminder that you don't have to fully boycott Amazon, just stop making it your default. Need socks? Lots of places sell socks. Need printer paper? Need rye flour? Many other options.

"This startup only sells through Amazon!"

Okay, buy that but don't buy the sneakers and coffee beans.

They both have guitars?

We Dare You to Figure Out What Our Nonprofit Does Thank you for visiting our nonprofit organization’s website. The first thing you’ll see are some inspiring photographs—young people planting a tree...

"We claim to work with the most vulnerable populations, but like everyone else, they won’t understand our opaque messaging. It’s not really for them, though, is it? It’s for our peers in conference breakout sessions. It’s for making our old classmates at Wesleyan jealous."

Picture shows an unfinished quilt top. In the center is a preprinted panel depicting wild cats. Above and below the panel are random strips of fabric in colors that match the panel.

First quilt top of the year.

Here, have some beauty.

Not really surprising, but pretty grim.

Three red gingham hearts with red loops for hanging.

This year's ornaments for the kids. I'll add personalization to the backs later.

Thank you!

Image shows a quilt center composed of white contrasted with a bright floral print with a black background. Around the original pinwheel floral block is a border with wonky colored and black stripes, then a plain white border. Around that is a wider black border with three flowers in one corner. The three flowers are purple, red, and yellow.

Close up of three applique flowers in the corner of an unfinished quilt center. In the center is a purple flower with a yellow center. To the right is an orange-red flower with a dark red center. To the left is a golden yellow flower with a brown center.

Added my round to this round robin. I copied colors and shapes from the floral print in the original block. #sewing #quilt

Rick Steves continues to be an inspiration.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

Fantastic article

Only a person easily bribed would think that everyone else is easily bribed. $1776 to the soldiers. $1500 to you, to cover a lifetime of medical expenses. $2000 tariff refund.
A man with billions of dollars thinks you can be bought for 2 grand.

Cartoon drawing shows a man talking on a landline phone, beside a desk holding typewriter. The caption reads: "Thank you for sending us your manuscript," she exclaimed. "You're welcome," I retorted. "Unfortunately, it's not what we are looking for," she opined. "How disappointing," I remarked. The cartoon is signed, "STEED."

Heh.
