Tectonic plate puzzle anyone? 🌎
Made by me, one at a time. I’m planning to have a really limited number available before the holidays - if you want to find out when I do, sign up to my newsletter! I will share them through it first.

Newspaper clipping from April 28, 1993.
In Hirase Village (Gifu Prefecture) a tanuki and fox were found passed out together after drinking 2 cups of sake left out as an offering to the gods.
A local snapped this photo several hours before the pair woke up and staggered back into the forest.

A victory garden for a family of 5 which took up the size of land of a two bedroom house would last you about 50ish days worth of food, it was designed to be supplemental to the limited rations.

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

It's Thanksgiving Day.
It's late November and it's snowing. That in-between-season, not-quite-cold-enough variety of ugly snow that's half snow, half rain, half slush and half mud. It's wet, dank, miserable and dreary out there.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Excellent debunking 🧵!
It blows my mind that there are real people who see a post like this and actually believe the whole “Christmas is being cancelled by Muslims” BS 🙄

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were:
Black Baptist Churches
A Mosque
A small Appalachian church

My son asked if I could pack the same snack in his lunch again and I said, "Oh, wow! So you liked it???" He replied, "No, I hated it, that's why I want it again." It was quiet in the car for a second, then he added, "I'm working on my scarcasm."
