Holy shit this is some *intense* both sidesing.
Why were the Mormons regarded as the Industrial Workers of the World would be two generations later: as a subversive menace to civil society? Perhaps because the ideas and beliefs the early Mormons espoused were in their own way as deviant and dangerous as the revolutionary ideology the IWW preached. In the age of the rising, pre–Civil War market economy and what Smith disparaged as its presiding society of “bankers, lawyers, and businessmen,” the Mormons advocated collective ownership of property. They saw no need to separate the functions of church and state. And most notoriously, they held that plural marriage was fundamental to attaining salvation. (Smith took at least thirty-three wives, and Brigham Young, his successor as prophet, married fifty-five women, including seven or more of Smith’s widows.) Only Indians were more intolerable to Jacksonian America. As John McCormick writes of the early Mormons, “They were theocratic in a democratic society. They were polygamous in a monogamous society. And they were utopian socialists in an emerging capitalistic order.”

Rough draft of a quick rewrite of John Brown's Body (roud 771) I'm calling "Joe Hill's Ashes".
Joe Hill's ashes are scattered in the wind x3 But Joe Hill still sings on The voices of the workers are united in a song A song of union power that will right the bosses' wrongs A song that teaches us that together we are strong! With Joe Hill we'll sing on We sing a song of joy and hope and solidarity A song of liberation and industrial unity We sing for the day that we can end all injury! And Joe Hill wrote our song Joe Hill's ashes, though scattered they may be Inspire every worker in their struggle to be free Every strike and act of sabotage preserves his memory! So Joe Hill can sing on When the workers of the world stand together and unite When we wield the union's power, when we organize and fight When the bosses and their phonies hide in terror from our might! Joe Hill sings his song Joe Hills Ashes are scattered in the wind x3 But Joe Hill still sings on

Yup. They edited out his hair. Totally what happened. He definitely doesn't have one of the most infamous comb-overs on the planet.
“They “disappeared” my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?”

If anyone in central Indiana is looking for a new friend, I met this heartbreaking little sweetheart tonight who's having trouble finding a home. She was very excited for some company and really liked gumming my fingers.

A golden cat with one squint eye and curly hair on her chest. A golden cat with curly hair on her chest and belly, lying on her back with her belly exposed. There is a strange hand skritching her head. Winry has a long history with us. She came to us as a 3-week old kitten in 2016. She was found on the fairway of the Brickyard Golf Course. She was bottle-fed and thrived. We were tempted to keep her for ourselves, but have a 2 cat limit in our own house. She was adopted out at 3-4 months old in the summer of 2016. In November 2020, she was abandoned. Her finder decided to adopt her. Unfortunately, the new adopter wound up on hard times, unable to afford her care and surrendered Winry back to us this summer. Winry had flea dermatitis, alopecia and an ear infection. After vaccines, Revolution flea treatment, three skin calming baths and ear medicine, Winry's fur is growing back beautifully, she is healthy and she is ready to find a new forever home. She has NO TEETH, due to stomatitis a few years ago. That does not stop her appetite though. We currently have her on Diamond Care Weight Management kibble (yes, she can still devour dry food) and half a can of Fancy Feast pate (various flavors, warmed with added warm water) daily. Winry was living with other cats, but stopped using the litter box. So we recommend no other cats in her household. She is very particular about the cleanliness of her litter box which she needs cleaned daily (or at least every other day). She was living with an 11-year old pit bull and did great with visiting nieces and nephews. Winry is now 9 years old, spayed, updated vaccines, microchipped and re-tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She should be on Revolution for flea prevention all year.

SPOCK PRIME (CONT’D) This was a gift to me. Representing… a dream. One we were unable to fulfill. (softly) The way you can now. KIRK/SHATNER (V.O.) I suppose I’d always imagined us… outgrowing Starfleet together. Watching life swing us into our Emeritus years… KIRK/SHATNER Who’s to say we can’t go one more round? By the last tally, only twenty five percent of the galaxy’s been chartered… I’d call that negligent. Criminal even — an invitation. You once said being a starship captain was my first, best destiny… if that’s true, then yours is to be by my side. If there’s any true logic to the universe… we’ll end up on that bridge again someday.

Have some supporting figures! Level 3 and above is considered "fully literate". I'd peg reading political theory as fitting into level 4 or 5.

PIAAC US adult literacy levels, from the US National Center for Education Statistics.
US PIAAC literacy results chart. 2012/14: 18% level 1 or below, 33% level 2, 50% level 3 or above 2017: 19% level 1 or below, 33% level 2, 48% level 3 or above 2023: 28% level 1 or below, 29% level 2, 44% level 3 or above.

How about some food posting since I haven't opened social media in a while.

Overly saucy buffalish wings, a gong bao recipe I've been working on, weird soy glazed wings based on an idea from Maangchi, spinach and potato curry.
