The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

6 years ago today, bloody hell
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Dolly was not neutral. She was apolitical in that she didn’t talk about politics. But when it came to poverty, literacy, LGBTQ+ rights, etc. she was outspoken.
She was only apolitical because she didn’t consider those things political issues - she considered them human issues.
