#OTD in Weather History, 48 years ago, on November 10, 1975, the ore freighter SS EDMUND FITZGERALD was lost with all hands in a severe storm on Lake Superior.

She is perhaps the best known shipwreck on the Great Lakes, and today we remember her loss. 1/

Thanks Marcy! I appreciate it- I’m feeling a lot better now

The other thing I’ll say is know your measurements and check measurements in the listing- especially with wool it seems sizing can be really tricky!

Trans joy post incoming: Decided to go for some Vintage Fall Vibes at work today!

A mirror selfie of a smiling white woman. She has straight brunette hair down to her shoulders. She is wearing a vintage below-the-knee wool skirt with a blue and green plaid pattern on it and a matching vintage plaid wool vest- both from Pendleton. She’s wearing a white button up blouse under the vest with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, and a pair of plain black Clark’s high heels completes the ensemble.

Williamson can be funny sometimes:

we needed to give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) an opportunity to respond to the claims, which I hadn’t done. I emailed DHS, and Tricia McLaughlin, an assistant secretary of homeland security, gave me the reply I was expecting, which was very close to verbatim the reply DHS had given to others. And so I produced the following parenthetical:

(Journalistic convention compels me to note that Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin called these allegations “disgusting and categorically FALSE,” all-caps in the original. The fact that I live on Earth and am not mentally disabled compels me to note that McLaughlin works for a serial fabulist, Kristi Noem, who works for another serial fabulist, Donald Trump, who once created an imaginary friend to lie to the New York Post about his sex life, in an administration packed to the gills with pathological liars such as J.D. Vance, who has an especial penchant for lying about poor, non-white immigrants who have the bad taste to move to places where there are white people, such as Springfield, Ohio. I wouldn’t want to mislead Dispatch readers into believing that DHS denials of these claims—or of anything else—are worth taking seriously. Hooray for journalistic convention.)

That was the toned-down version. My original draft (which I did not trouble my editors with) was a bit hotter, but substantively identical, just with a few extra gerunds that Declan would probably feel obliged to bowdlerize in keeping with our family-friendly house style here at The Dispatch.

Cold front passing the region leads to a chilly one tonight. 🌡️ Upper 30s to mid-40s for lows. Cooler tomorrow, but still quite nice.

Great shot of the Capitol earlier today from angela n.

Discworld QOTD, from Reaper Man

"C.M.O.T. Dibbler liked to describe himself as a merchant adventurer; everyone else liked to describe him as an itinerant pedlar whose money-making schemes were always let down by some small but vital flaw, such as trying to sell things he didn’t own or which didn’t work or, sometimes, didn’t even exist."

Holy shit, and also, great blessings upon the family of the human recipient mentioned in the article for allowing their loved one with no remaining brain activity to be a test candidate to determine if their body would reject a treated kidney.

This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.
