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.

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. Courtesy of Carol St. Clair Johnson

I mean this in all sincerity. Lead and asbestos absolutely have uses, some were even hard to find replacements for! But we stopped using them because exposing ourselves to them causes harm. The unseen, long term kind. I do not think having the illusion of computers being frictionless is a good thing

It is really something seeing men respond to postpartum psychosis with "welp, that's it, time to Cancel Women" and meanwhile a man who's the most obvious incipient family annihilator I've ever seen won't even resign from Congress
