The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

been looking at wood engravings of the mid-late 19th century, when craftsmanship in the discipline peaked sometimes you'll see stuff like this and it genuinely baffles me, did they manually go and etch a little - in each diamond? did they have roulette tools that allowed this kind of regularlity?

Notice how she's wearing a crew neck while his labial throat is tucked and cucked behind a literal V at his collar. She's wearing red, the color of war, mars, arguably the most masculine color. She's driving the computer while he's riding sidesaddle next to her. Cucking ritual.

Therapist: Well what sorts of thoughts have been bothering you? Me: I feel like if I was really different people would feel a different way about me. Therapist: I mean that is just nothing. I can't do anything with that.

this is a sith lightsaber, from the war. I keep it on a shelf right next to my stormtrooper armor and imperial officer’s uniform. I’ve even got a verified chunk of the death star from yavin. I’m just a collector. I just think the history is interesting. no, I don’t have any rebel stuff
