This is day two of Jane's mom's handmade felt advent calendar from the '70s. Jane is continuing a nearly 20-year tradition of showing it to online friends on the platform of the moment—first LiveJournal, then Twitter and Mastodon, now Bluesky. Enjoy!

Day Two - I love the camels so much. The orange and once-hot pink is so 70s, isn't it? Also the little embroidery floss tassels are so charming to me.
The third photo is one I took in 2006, the first year I posted this calendar online (on my LiveJournal account)!

Contrary to what that idiot says, and you know who I mean. No matter how they get here, the immigrants who manage to do so, are the smartest, the strongest, and the most resilient individuals the world has to offer. Footstop. That’s just logic.

Trump has made more than 100 threats to prosecute or punish perceived enemies since 2022
www.npr.org/2024/10/21/n...
He followed through on a number of these during his first term. He'd have many fewer limits this time around. Could have control over federal law enforcement and DOJ in 90 days.

The ever-cheerful @alanbeattie.bsky.social says we really shouldn't worry about Trump's trade policies.
[Yes, they will be utterly disastrous. No, Congress/courts won't block him. But since he's a deranged fascist, there are other things we should worry about even more than the global economy]

My Trade Secrets today. Suppose Trump goes all out, raises tariffs across the board, full-on trade war. Will Congress stand in his way? Will the courts?
My guess: no and no.
