There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.
It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

"but does it have to be drawn so wonkily??" Yes.

And Presto! You've drawn a minecraft slime! Imagine what other things you could draw!
(And if you don't have thumbs, or prefer not to use them at this time, feel free to apply whatever part of yourself to move your art tools around. Thumbs really aren't that big of a deal, actually)

I just think that if somebody randomly appeared and gave me like $50k that would probably solve most of my problems.

I continue to believe that they should chalk every other crosswalk in the area while the cops are distracted watching that one.
The DeSantis administration currently has at least seven Florida Highway Patrol troopers just on anti-chalk duty: Two watching from a Dunkin Donuts next door and five more parked in the lot right behind them.

We are attuned to the idea cold can kill but somehow still think we can just tough out heat without help. This is incorrect. Heat will kill just as surely as cold, and it will kill at shockingly low temperatures when humidity gets involved because your body cannot efficiently cool itself.

You and your family can die of heat exhaustion instead, then, Emma. Make no mistake - the temps + humidity the UK and Ireland have been reporting hit levels that are actively dangerous to human health, to the extent that they can kill. Realize that at 29C/85F with high humidity you can die.

Yes, temperatures are rising. But more and more AC means more and more CO2 – and then more and more global heating. Let’s have some long-term thinking instead, writes Guardian columnist Emma Beddington

Teaching Shakespeare’s plays by making students read the scripts is doing such a disservice to both the students and the plays.
