This is #Quirk the duck. If you ever feel sad and don't want to feel sad, look at #Quirk.

Horsecollar on the wall, stuffed owl on piano, and surveyor’s chain links akimbo in a wooden box. Interview and tour of Russell Homestead Farm, Bethany, CT. With the family, descendants. Image by Chris Brunson. Was it memorable? Yes, it really was—a former home full of stories, memories. Farmhouse.

I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago

I've been happy this week to see that some people have caught up to the fact that in MN and across the country, the resistance to fascism has actually BUILT ON what came before. The networks created in 2020 and earlier have been reactivated, expanded etc...
