@internetarchive @brewsterkahle I will never forget the moment I saw "The People's University" carved on the front of the Fall River, MA library. I don't know if the deliberate choice of the stone construction will protect it from this now. [video]https://www.fallriverlibrary.org/Pages/Index/182166/library-history-and-tour

For your #BlackFriday shopping needs, Discover Magazine has a guide to the best gas station Viagra. What a shameful decay for a #scicomm outlet. I tried to track the author "Amber Smith" at one point. I'm pretty sure she's AI. Atrocious series of nonsense.

So I tried the #Pantone color of the year on some test pieces. It was just printout of an image of a crappy old printer.It looks really nice with black silk #IpswichLace... I think I like the color of the year for next year.#BobbinLace

However, I am going to local lace couvige today with an old pendant. I bought this before I realized how deep my history with lacy things would lead me to actual lace making someday...Bought this years ago from @SurlyAmy .

Antique store cat wonders if you really need more doilies....To be fair, she's right (her name is Beatrice, at Howard's Flying Dragon Antiques). But you can't get linen like the fineness of these squares now, perfectly hemmed. Seriously great stuff.And that goose. I mean, of course I needed the goose doily. #BobbinLace #FiletLace #Caturday

When #antivaxxers try #agriculture "The farm should be “100% free of chemicals as soon as possible” and co-owners did not want pesticides used on the property or, in some cases, to have livestock vaccinated.

@stux #BobbinLace going viral just warms my cockles. I've seen this woman everywhere lately. Her name is Germaine.

@clive They believe that there's some Star Trek like technology that cures all disease, and it's being withheld from them.But of course, some cranks are already profiting selling Medbeds to the credulous.

So, today I was here. This was one of the most unusual historical marker signs I have ever seen. Charming. Serious. And #NinjaTurtles. #TMNT #DoverNH

@futurebird In some saner countries, there is a #BinsForBlokes campaign because some men and boys need products too.

I met Abby the Garden Store cat the other day at Mahoney's. "Today I'm not in a good mood, and there's a pretty good chance I may scratch".Same Abby, same.#Caturday

@futurebird Yes, Abby would not comment on this, and there was nobody nearby to explain that.

Y'all remember that lace safety vest that a cyclist was wearing a while back? Everyone sent it to me because #Lace .I had no idea where it came from, but I loved it. Recently a vendor of them popped into my feed. I decided to try one to see if it was legit. It's very nice. I'm not selling them, I'm not pushing them, I'm just saying if you like to lace in safety now you can.... I'm kind of impressed with the quality.

For #FensterFreitag some windows at #Harvard. One outside--a shiny reflection of the rest of campus. And some inside at @overholt's library display. I love old books. https://library.harvard.edu/exhibits/fashion-police#CambridgeMA
