Tag yourself, I’m YOUR FATHER’S MUSTACHE

on a shelf at a junk shop: a yellow mug with a silhouette of an old timey man and the slogan “YOUR FATHER’S MOUSTACHE”, and some rubber stamps labeled as follows: RIB STEAK, PORK CUTLETS, BEEF NECK BONES, SIRL TIP STEAK, SIRL TIP BST.

lol I think all midwestern women bought their husbands at the same store

My husband, a bald middle aged man with a grey beard and blue glasses, with a dilute calico slung over his shoulder like one of those fur stoles ladies used to wear that still had the fox face and feet. I once had a hell of a time finding him at a Wilco show at the Palace in St. Paul because every man there looked just like him.

Ginsberg/Draper meme from Mad Men. The Ginsberg half is labeled “St Paul” and says “I feel bad for you”. The Draper half is labeled “Minneapolis” and says “I don’t think about you at all”.

Show me 4 pictures in your phone that have your energy but aren’t selfies

A frustrated Peggy Hill trying to light a cigarette with the caption “Close the damn door! Can’t you see that I am knitting?”

A poster with red block text on a cream background (with multiple fonts) that says FEMINISM ENCOURAGES WOMEN TO LEAVE THEIR HUSBANDS KILL THEIR CHILDREN PRACTICE WITCHCRAFT DESTROY CAPITALISM AND BECOME LESBIANS. To be clear, I have no wish to kill my children.

Vintage black and white photo of a neatly coiffed and made up woman in a dark blouse with white polka dots and an apron with an embroidered design. She is sharpening a butcher knife.

A black and white photo of six women: Debbie Harry, Viv Albertine, Siouxsie Sioux, Chrissie Hynde, Poly Styrene, and Pauline Black. They all look badass.

A Family Circus panel from 1977. The mom is asking two small children “who ate the middle out of this cookie and then put it back?” Both children say “Not me.”. A little ghost labeled NOT ME is sneaking out of the panel with a mischievous expression.

My daughter and her bf came home from the MN state fair last night with three buckets of Sweet Martha’s cookies (one for our house, one for his mom’s house and one for his dad’s). These buckets are traditionally WAY overfilled 1/?

thanks to the rain am now at the Keith Haring exhibit where I belong (inside)

a terra cotta vase in a vitrine; the vase is covered in Keith Haring doodles in the manner of ancient greek pottery, and I’m very serious about heisting it.

I feel like I need to just share the tiniest single corner of my aunt’s bonkers house. Details in the alt text.

A red carpeted conversation pit around a brick fireplace. On the left wall, a gallery of sketches and prints of Native American art and some license plates and signs from the reservation my aunt grew up on. Above the fireplace, a display of Native baskets, and on the adjoining wall, several cradleboards. Stockings hang from the mantle over a fence post from the farm my grandfather grew up on. There are a bunch of boxes on the seating area full of things she “hasn’t had time to go through yet”. The whole house is like this, the subject of the vignettes changes but the density and whelm-factor is pretty much universal throughout.

My husband has the most Midwestern Guitar Guy With Daughters Spotify Unwrapped possible (bonus points for his #2 song which is specifically because he blasted it nonstop while participating in the July 4 boat parade, in which they coincidentally ALSO came in second)
