In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

The image is a black-and-white political cartoon depicting a man in a suit standing behind a counter labeled "Republican Platform." He is holding a bottle labeled "Untaxed Whiskey, 20¢ Gal." in one hand and a piece of cloth labeled "War-Taxed Common Cloth, Tariff 84%" in the other. Above the counter, a sign reads, "If you don’t see what you want, ask for it." The cartoon, signed by W.A. Rogers, appears to satirize the Republican Party's economic policies, highlighting the disparity in taxation between luxury items like whiskey and essential goods like cloth.

Tonight's December full moon is called the Cold Moon. The final full lunation of the year, this is one for deep reflection: what were the struggles and the successes of the past 12 months? How can you rest? What will you let go of, in order to make space for new things to come? 🌕

Last night there was a fire directly under us and we were evacuated. Thankfully the buildings in Germany are made of concrete and the fire department reacted fast. No one was hurt. But it was scary! My girls couldn’t fall asleep after. Watch your candles and cables everyone !

Sick with Covid so I’m breaking through my reading pile. Just finished “The Mythmakers” Graphic Novel by John Hendrix on the friendship of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien- I can recommend it. I learned a lot about the history of stories and was touched by their mutual support of each other’s work.
