The Only Way We’re Going To Get Through This New Administration Is By Leaning On Each Other.

Took a year to complete this quilt! Pattern is by NASA Astronaut Karen Nyberg called Cupola View. Fabrics used were also designed by Karen, the collection is called Earth Views.

Ive noticed recently that my generation has... no concept of what the various economic classes actually are anymore. I talk to my friends and they genuinely say things like "at least i can afford a middle class lifestyle with this job because i dont need a roommate for my one bedroom apartment" and its like... oughh

You guys, middle class doesnt mean "a stable enough rented roof over your head," it means "a house you bought, a nice car or two, the ability to support a family, and take days off and vacations every year with income to spare for retirement savings and rainy days." If all you have is a rented apartment without a roommate and a used car, you're lower class. That's lower class.

And i cant help but wonder if this is why you get kids on tumblr lumping in doctors and actors into their "eat the rich" rhetoric: economic amnesia has blinded you to what the class divides actually are. The real middle class lifestyle has become so unattainable within a system that relies upon its existence that theyve convinced you that those who can still reach it are the elites while your extreme couponing to afford your groceries is the new normal.

Spectacular volcanic landscape. Original caption:

“The Kamchatka Peninsula, rugged and remote, is a vast blade of land stabbing southwestward through cold seas from the mainland of northeastern Russia. Its coastline is scalloped like the edges of an obsidian dagger. Its highlands rise to cone-shaped volcanic peaks, snow-streaked in summer, and to ridges of barren rock. It’s a wild place where at least 20 percent of all wild Pacific salmon go to spawn each year, creating an annual feeding frenzy for the local brown bear population” - National Geographic

Time well spent

Just spent a good 30 minutes explaining dungeons and dragons/Pathfinder to my 72y/o landylady/housemate

I’m the screaming at the last second

I feel threatened

“Nice of her to invite us over for a picnic, eh Luigi?”

“Who?”

“The girl reading this.”
