Glad to be partnering with the ACLU in my attempt to hold whoever was in charge of firing me responsible. It’s important, especially during these particular times, that we fight for our rights (and not just to party)

Hmm, I am curious how much of the decorative paint on this 1880's sewing machine is actually still intact, just covered with 130 years of dried sewing machine oil? #antiques

It isn't intact. The machine was painted with something.
The decoration is a decal.
The whole machine was lacquered, but we don't know the formulas.
It might be the same (bug) lacquer used in Asia, or something else.

Israeli settlers continue a long-term trend of illegally destroying or occupying Palestinian #water sources in the West Bank with no intervention (and sometimes actual protection) from the Israeli military or government.

haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-0…


Israeli settlers take over spring, damage wells that supply water to 30 Palestinian West Bank villages

Israeli settlers diverted water from the Ein Samiya spring near Ramallah into a nearby pool, vandalized pumping wells and launched a crowdfunding campaign, yet no arrests have been made despite repeated attacks

#OfficeSpace #IfYouCouldJustGoAheadAndDoThatThatdBeGreat
The image is a meme featuring a still from the movie "Office Space". The central figure is a middle-aged man with light brown hair, wearing glasses, a light tan suit jacket over a white collared shirt, and a patterned tie. He is holding a white mug that says "INITECH" on it. He is in the middle of speaking, gesturing with his right hand raised, appearing to be addressing the viewer. The background shows a glimpse of an office setting, with cubicle dividers and a window visible. The text overlayed on the image reads: "OH, AND REMEMBER: NEXT FRIDAY... IS HAWAIIAN SHIRT DAY. SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO, GO AHEAD AND WEAR A HAWAIIAN SHIRT AND JEANS." The words "HAWAIIAN SHIRT DAY" are in red font, emphasizing the key phrase. The font used is a simple, clear sans-serif. The overall color palette is muted, with the man's skin tone and clothing colors being the most prominent, contrasted by the red text. The composition is a medium shot, focusing on the man and his message.

Very interesting. It reminds me of some of the railing work at the Marin County Civic Center, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Closeup photo here:

Other similar railing work can be seen on photo 3 on this page (which includes the context for the above photo) along with many other interesting design elements:
