I'm not trying to hate on this account. It's also two days old so I don't want to zombiefy the post. As a member of a Native tribe who's lands cover part of the area described here as "Mexico," I'd like to remind people that giving parts of the US "back" to Mexico isn't land back.+

What if Native Americans drive the Ingalls family off the stolen land and it’s an alternate history of the Prairie had the Native Americans repelled westward expansion successfully while also denying the entire American Southwest to slavery so it remains a part of Mexico.

In @hillarymonahan.bsky.social thread about crafting, I posted a toille (thank you, to the person letting me know that term!) of a coat I'm making. Well, I finished the coat!

A person standing in front of a door wearing a thigh length old fashioned with a flared, skirted peplum bottom coat he made, using a purple fabric with black velvet roses on it.

I'm making a coat!! The one that looks finished is a muslin mock up? of me practicing the pattern. The one overlayed is the actual fabric and it's in progress.

A fancy purple fabric with roses, pieced together into the start of a coat, layed over a finished coat from the same pattern, in muslin

I actually have space to spread out and cut my fabric! What even is this luxury?!!

Caveats before the question/thread. 1) Username has been removed. I'm not trying to make fun of them. I agree this is a problem. 2) Please don't go looking for them, because of that. That being said, there's a bunch of OTHER caveats about location but I've been relatively car free in Houston.+

americans are like: i need to drive my car to the grocery store. to buy 200lbs of red meat. my car gets 10mpg, i WILL kill bike lane users, i WILL use the drive thru and idle the whole time. driving my car is everything to me

now that I'm thinking about it, she's either the most efficient waiter at Waffle House, the nurse who's the best at drawing blood, or this lady from Office Space

In front is a short woman with BIG styled curly red hair, wearing a teal dress with a large black button and yellow lanyard. Written over the photo in black marker is "Just Pass! Kinna MCInroe XOXO"

This is about the son in The Birdcage. Is there anyone on this planet who has seen La Cage the play, the movie, the musical, the Birdcage, and come out going "you know, the son had a point"? EVERYONE is in agreement that the son is categorically The Worst.

you have to watch the movie,

the son's character is a corrupter akin to mephistopheles

The NYC Gay Men's Chorus was founded in 1980 by a former member of the SF Gay Men's Chorus, founded in 1978. This picture was taken in 1993. The men in white were the only original chorus members to make it out of the AIDS crisis, which was still raging at that time.+

There's that thing where you don't wanna be parasocial but you come across a Lego model of the Erebus and Terror and go "I think @swordsjew.bsky.social might like this" (the Mystic Seaport museum is hosting a traveling "Lego models of shipwrecks" exhibit)

...it's more complicated than that? Even this link says so. Literally everything the Nazis did had a European precedent long before Columbus touched foot over here. Did he take *some* inspiration or use the US as an excuse? Yes. Can we lay all of the sins of the Nazis at the feet of the US? No

Contrary to common belief, Nazi Germanys legal assault on the Jews between 1933 and 1945 was not unique in its racial character nor its segregationist aims. There are remarkable similarities between Americas own Jim Crow laws and those in Nazi Germany. As with many Nazi attacks against the Jews, the Nazis took ideas and practices that were common in their own and other cultures and radicalized them to suit their needs. This exhibit will examine the Jim Crow laws with examples from Houstons segregationist past and the Nuremberg laws

I've had multiple people with pride flags in their bios tell me I can't take pride in the place and culture where I am from? Make it make sense!

obviously the lunch box trees are always in season and don't attract vermin.

Two images from Return to OZ. In the top, we see through the Lunch Box Tree branches, seeing lunch boxes growing on the tree. In the second image, we're closer to the ground, and see Dorothy, a small girl in an old fashioned white dress, holding Billina, a chicken

BSKY post from quadiolk.bsky.social - 6d
Where do people fight on the internet anymore? Out of respect to several relatives I'm obligated to stay off Facebook until certain people are dead and/or divorced. And no way am I going to Twitter. Reddit maybe? I hate the way its organized.

“$5 Indians”: Fraudulent Enrollment, Federal Allotment, and the Erasure of Real Indigenous Peoples
IntroductionThe history of the so-called “$5 Indians” is often discussed as a story of people fraudulently claiming Indigenous identity for land, money, and political advantage. But the deeper truth is far more disturbing.While some opportunists allegedly purchased or manipulated their way onto federal tribal rolls during the allotment era, many actual Indigenous people especially detribalized, mixed-community, Freedmen, and Black Indigenous populations were simultaneously pushed out of legal re

I see a lot of people arguing with accounts that look like this. They don't even follow accounts like Cats of Yore or any of the early follow back accounts. TikTok has a similar thing with private accounts with no followers or videos. I think social media would be better if we stop arguing with them
