Gracias por todo, las chingonas
Aged prickly pear cacti are in front of a restaurant window. There are two signs: “La Indita, open daily, Mexican-Native American Cuisine” and “All law enforcement officials-do not enter without a lawful search warrant” Mushroom taco, chalupa, and flat enchilada with rice and beans sit on a white plate.

People challenging gender norms are not intentionally dressing "ugly," as the original poster suggests, nor are they trying to gain "victim points." They are dressing in a way they find beautiful, but according to a different language. Appreciating that aesthetic requires cultural literacy.

Today’s #TeaUp is the second day of unretirement featuring actual tea and some AI-written and acted training.
A cup of Yorkshire Gold tea in a chipped floral John Lewis cup sits in front of a laptop watching a cultural sensitivity training. An AI-generated actress tells us that “Britain’s call it the boot” (caption).

Back in the desert with my mom, early morning clanker of pots and pans. #teaup is coffee that is not strong enough. Is #DuvetKnowItsChristmas a thing on Bluesky?

Struggling to feel festive until @gazpachodragon.bsky.social sent me this #TeaUp #YaySwap that smells like my old childhood scratch and sniff Christmas book.

November 12, 1973 --- The day Philosophy & Public Affairs started treating Rawls like Jesus.
A letter on Philosophy & Public Affairs letterhead that reads: November 12, 1973 Professor Robert Nozick Department of Philosophy Emerson Hall Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 Dear Professor Nozick, I have been meaning to send you a note ever since you did not telephone the second time last week just to say that I decided after all to drop the offending post-apostrophes from the possessive of Rawls. This is, as I told you, according to the Chicago Manual of Style an honor due only to Moses and Jesus, but with us aesthetic considerations won out. The decision puts us somewhat in a class by ourselves -- I note that in Brian Barry's new book he and Oxford Press write Rawls's -- but I don't mind being different. I trust that you will not. sincerely， Margot Cutter

Craft circle #TeaUp, vastly preferable to coping with local events by stress eating Halloween candy alone.
A black cabled cardigan in progress rests on a table next to a latte cup that says “IKE Box, Salem, OR”. In the background, hands are crocheting and knitting and needlepointing.

Hi. You look like you could use a thing that isn’t the election. Have a chipmunk in the sun
A chipmunk perches on the upturned root of a fire-blasted pine stump in Arizona. This area suffered a forest fire a decade ago and is recovering.
