[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

honestly "oracle that nobody believes" is such a solid trope. imagine trying to convince anybody in 2006 what the next two decades was gonna look like

[digitaldiscipline]

Everyone who remembers Bush v. Gore and 9/11 is looking at the camera like we're in The Office

Nobody believed us when we said it then, either.

I’m desperate to know who Gary is. So I can also avoid him.

[biglawbear]

Gary, Indiana is a city, and actually the inspiration for the stage name of the actor Gary Cooper, who then popularized it as a first name

doubly funny that I saw a compilation of all the corporate accounts like "aw thanks elmo, we're doing well" meanwhile all the flesh and blood real human people are extremely not okay

[artistefish]

Okay but Elmo had actually the best and sweetest response to all this trauma dumping:

And then all the other Sesame Street character accounts joined in:

And now I’m thinking maybe we’re gonna be okay… 💗

(Comment compilation from this Twitter)

[aqueerkettleofish]

I kinda feel for the poor person running Elmo's Twitter.

"So, boss... I may have messed up."

"What did you do, Ray?"

"Well, I made a post for Elmo saying 'Hi, how's everybody doing?'"

"I mean, that's kind of what we pay you for."

"Yeah, but.... <sigh> it turns out pretty much everyone is hanging on by a thread, badly enough that they needed to tell Elmo."

"Oh."

"God help me, boss, I think Elmo needs to be there for them."

"Get the others."

I forgot to post this earlier but over the long weekend I decided to practice my brisket skills. I picked up a whole packer brisket at Costco (which was double the price of last year) and I trimmed it up by hand and smoked it for 18 hours. Then I let it rest for about 8 hours.

Rub was equal parts kosher salt and cracked black pepper, with some garlic powder. I used yellow mustard as the binder (that’s why the one picture on the smoker is kind of yellowish). I smoked it over a combination of hickory, pecan, and apple (I was out of oak unfortunately).

I need to get better at trimming and my bark is a little light—when completely done the brisket should be black, almost like it’s burnt. But the texture and flavor were there. So I’m getting better but still need more practice.

I rendered the fat trimmings down into a quart of lovely tallow. That stuff has a thousand uses, not the least of which is frying potatoes. And making beef gravy.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ... THIS is a good welt pocket and the people who designed Simplicity 2895 ought to be blasted well ASHAMED of themselves for the crap way THEY wanted a welt pocket made. *SNARLS*

[makereadgrow]

This is how I learned to do it and a good example of what you want to see in a short form tutorial: pinning, pressing, seam finishing, good fabric handling.

I would mention that you can make the pocket facing with a small panel of your matching fabric that is visible and the rest in a lighter fabric to reduce bulk. That's a lot of denim layers for comfort.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.
