Barely get the sound of music to love and go dance to..."

Look we all want to be Ed or Stede coded but in reality I'm bringing a sort of Officer Hornberry vibe to any gathering (on the periphery, sweaty and dehydrated, not entirely sure what's going on, terrible at posing for photos)

It’s hard to put into words what it means to lose D’Angelo. Not just the man, but the sound, the feeling, the very essence of soul that he embodied.

This is a lovely idea and I too would enjoy such a lifestyle.

Real talk though, the idea of such a life is enough to make me delve deeper into those FIRE forums where people stop working forever in their 30s & 40s

Weaver House, the yarn shop and weaving school that has drawn fiber arts enthusiasts from around the world, announced it will shut its doors for good in December.

Founder Rachel Snack hopes that a weaving or teaching enthusiast might buy these Macomber looms and start their own weaving school.

Are you looking to buy looms? The Weaver House in the Bok building is closing.

The shop owner is looking for a single buyer for the floor looms acquired from the University of the Arts after the school shuttered.

FINDS THEM AND KILLS THEM

"Finds Them and Kills Them (Osh-Tisch) looked like a man, but wore women's clothing and had the heart of a woman.... she was brave and good."
― Pretty Shield

Her strength as a warrior is what earned her the name Osh-Tisch, which translates to “finds them and kills them."

Who is Osh-Tisch?
Osh-Tisch was a Apsáalooke Badé, a role within the Crow Nation that defied traditional gender norms, embodying both masculine and feminine qualities. Before colonization, Badé were deeply respected for their unique spiritual gifts, artistry, and contributions to community life.
As a Badé, Osh-Tisch carried responsibilities tied to culture, ceremony, and social balance. Their life shows how many of our nations embraced gender diversity long before Western colonial powers imposed rigid binaries.

In the first panel she's holding up a finger, grinning, and saying, "Fun fact: Columbus in the Bad Place"

In the second panel she's saying, "Because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide."
