and ‘civil rights’ and ‘the value of human life’ and ‘children should not be sacrificed for the economy’
And ‘the Earth is round’ and ‘Nazis are bad’

…and, at the time of his death, he was one of the most hated people in the USA.
The FBI sent him a letter trying to convince him to commit suicide. Don’t let this revisionist bullshit slide. The things they say now about protests, kneeling, etc, are the same things they said about the sit-ins and marches.
respectability politics is a trap.

Look at this vintage political cartoon. Reactions to MLK and BLM are near identical.
His own kids are telling yall not to fall for the bullshit
Saw a commercial that said “without the letters A B and O there’d be no you”
It was about blood types
As someone versed in fanfic tagging, that’s not the first thing I thought of
This needs to go with the deli sign that asked, “how do you top your sub?”.
This is now officially a thread for things that make fanficcers stop and blink
Please add more

a librarian’s hoard
[ID: Digital illustration of a red dragon surrounded by their colorful hoard of books. A worn, blue scarf wraps around their neck, and a pair of gold glasses sits on their snout, held in place by a gold chain. The dragon’s lair resembles a huge, airy library with multiple levels of bookcases, tall mountains of books, and floor-to-ceiling windows revealing open sky. Decorative gold chains drape across the space. The dragon smiles as it holds a small book in its mouth, stretching to offer it to a distant human standing atop a book tower. End ID.]
Oh how I yearn for a simpler time, when a young man would simply give his paramour an intricately crafted wooden spoon to show his affection and ability to provide for their future family, especially if they ever ran out of spoons
It has come to my attention that not everyone knows what lovespoons are.
This is a lovespoon. They’re found in several cultures worldwide, particularly in Scandinavia, but most famously in Wales (that photo is a Welsh lovespoon) and, from at least the 17th century, they were given as gifts by a suitor to his intended lady. They’re supposed to be carved from one block of wood, and decorated with various symbols which have slightly nuanced meanings, all basically a variation on ‘you’re rad, want to get wed?’
Because marriage in poor, rural parts of Wales was often more akin to cohabitation at the time (i.e. you didn’t really have a big ol’ legal ceremony, you just sort of said ‘we’re married now’ and shacked up together) a lovespoon could act as a wedding ring of sorts; you’d put your goshdarn heart and soul into carving it and you’d give it to the dame you sought, and if she accepted the spoon, then you were essentially wed, or at least bound together in a meaningful way. It’s assumed that they were initially supposed to be at least somewhat functional, because people did in fact eat with wooden spoons back in the day, but they’re now purely decorative. And hoo boy, can they be decorative. These are some of the ones on display at St Fagans Museum:
Nowadays, they’re generally mass produced, and tend to look more like this:
Brings a whole new meaning to the sheer romance of spooning, doesn’t it?
St Fagan’s museum is one of my favourite places in the world. It’s dedicated to preserving the history of ordinary Welsh people and they do a wonderful job of it. And it’s free!
There’s a lot I miss about Wales and St Fagan’s is definitely high on the list.
“well, it seems we are at an impasse.”
“so we are. carry on, cat”
“same to you, bird.”
They literally were in an awkward situation
I love how the bird leaves like “well, I best be hitting the dusty trail”
I will reblog this every time.
every time I see this I just picture myself in the position of the person taking video and I can perfectly hear the internal dialogue I would be having, which would go: is today the day I fight a bald eagle over my cat? am I about to have to punch the bird that is america in the face over my cat??? is that how today is going to go???
