All 50,000 panels of the National AIDS Memorial Quilt has been fully digitized.
You can search Duane's name and see the panel he made. And someone else made a panel for him, too.

We first note that hand-wringing about the decline in US college enrollments has mistakenly linked such declines to the price of four-year colleges.
But the decline is entirely driven by two-year community colleges (and by for-profit colleges). The four-year sector is the dog that didn't bark.

Seasons pass as you develop your vineyard, harvest grapes, make wine and fill orders.

Spending my Sunday morning scrolling the Sunday Cheese Review and wondering why there isn’t a decent cheese monger nearby 😢🧀

Caveman Blue Cheese from Rogue Creamery
Semi-hard Oregon 🐄 🧀 with blue mold. The aroma is the only subtle thing about this blue. Crumbly, but fudge texture and a few crystals. Strong blue and salt flavor, with a background of pecans, bacon, and maybe roasted root vegetables.

I think about this a lot… and I don’t have any good answers.
I do know that I need a better answer for when a student asks where I learn about the news.

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

![I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egd33s7iuqsmwlwab6mbtrqi/bafkreiaaicjid4jg3oongeah73ukqvwsqv4vwbp75q4f755nldtcfermhi@jpeg)

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

This Day in Labor History: November 27, 1937. The International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) debuted its play “Pins and Needles,” which would become the longest running musical of the 1930s. Let's talk about this moment of labor feminism meeting popular culture!
