“It's 106 miles to Fossanova, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and one of us is the skull of a Thirteenth Century saint.”
“Hit it.”

Color photograph of a patch on a black wood table. The patch is shaped like a shield with a gray bar at the top, then bands of red, yellow, green, and blue. Below it is a long sword with red flames around it.

Recently acquired a bag of military patches, mostly WWII. There's some wild stuff in there! My favorite is this one, for the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF). Based in London, they oversaw the planning for Normandy.

Rainbow, flaming sword, anti-fascist. What's not to love?

Screenshot of a single question and answer from interview in the Times Literary Supplement with Ursula K. Le Guin. Here is the quote: If you could make a change to anything you’ve written over the years, what would it be? In The Dispossessed, I would mention the communal pickle barrels at street corners in the big towns, restocked by whoever in the community has made or kept more pickles than they need. I knew about the free pickles all along, but never could fit them into the book.

the last days of autumn

We already had our first snow a few weeks ago. It’s a beautiful contrast to the colorful landscape and a reminder that winter is rapidly approaching.

Autumn never lasts long enough for my liking

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

Nothing’s “that deep” when you can’t read for context, and have no cultural grounding in literature.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.

I've said this before, but there are two kinds of people in the world.

- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something, and think it's unfair unless everyone else also suffers
- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something and don't want anyone else to experience that.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Thats the CLEANEST bleach print ive ever seen

Protecting people is gonna make you mean right now .

GOOD

Someone whose asking you to be “nice” is asking for control

You don’t have to give it to them .

People need kindness and measured responses .. and they don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt

People should SAY what they love
