THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens. After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

THE LUMBERJACK (1914) is a rare surviving example of itinerant filmmaking of the silent era. A small filmmaking team would show up in town (Wausau, Wisconsin in this case), shoot a simple story starring the townsfolk, hold a screening and then move onto the next town.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

I was homeless and living in a shelter in 2019 there was a pavilion that set up three days a week that signed up folks for free cellphones, and very low cost smartphones (like $5 and $5-$10 a month data plans), if you had a SNAP card. Which the shelter helped you get if you don’t have it already.

Antivaxx and libertarianism are the same--they can exist only when the majority of the population buys in to what it takes to live in a society, allowing the minority to think they are outsiders thriving on their own exceptionalism.

This is 100% true. It doesn’t help anyone to burn it all down if they’ll die from lack of care while it’s getting rebuilt.

My doctor changed my diagnosis to "Endocrine Disorder" in November without me asking--because he saw the writing on the wall. Ask your doctors to do the same--Just to protect your access to life-saving medication.
