I think Little would pick up on it real fast
When asked if you could quilt a two sided quilt, you make it happen!

I'm trying to come up with something clever to say here but I feel like I've been hit by a truck. In a good way. I never thought anything like this would pass in the Midwest, not even in a blue state like IL, because it's simply not the kind of thing anybody campaigns on or even talks about at the gubernatorial level.
This is honestly the perfect legal addendum to NAGPRA, and I'm thrilled it's at the state level. This type of legislation would be way too complex at the federal level, but the individual state responsibilities are manageable, and more importantly, doable.
Here's some of the highlights of what the law does:
- It is now the state's responsibility to help return ancestral remains, funerary objects and other important cultural items to tribal nations
- The state must follow the lead of tribal nations throughout the repatriation process.
- Money must be allocated as part of the state Repatriation and Reinterment Fund to help with the costs of reburial, tribal consultation and the repair of any damage to burial sites, remains or sacred items.
- Criminal penalties for the looting and desecration of gravesites are increased, and the law adds a ban on profiteering from human remains and funerary objects through their sale, purchase or exhibition.
- Tribal nations must be consulted as soon as possible when Indigenous gravesites are unintentionally disturbed or unearthed — such as during construction projects. (We already had kind of a version of this, but it wasn't strong enough.)
- IDNR must set aside and maintain land solely for the reburial of repatriated Native American ancestors and their belongings, as tribal nations have pointed to the lack of protected places for reburial in Illinois as among the highest barriers to repatriation.
- Institutions that display human remains that are Native American and any items that were originally buried with those individuals (funerary items) cannot charge admission. You want to display looted grave goods? No money for you. (This is specifically targeting the Dickinson Mounds Museum, which is... well, it started as a guy's private display of Native American skeletons he personally looted. The state took it over in the 90s, but they didn't rebury any of the 230~ human skeletons.)
My favorite comment is this: When asked about what he would say to museums that may push back against the law, Illinois State Rep. Mark L. Walker said: “Too bad.”
yeah turtlenecks are sexy too bad they’re also one of the worst sensory experiences fashion has ever developed
me wearing a turtleneck and fighting back nausea at the sensation: haha aren’t i hot *gags* anyone want to admit they have a crush on me
same thing with chokers. look how attractive and cool and punk i look now if you’ll excuse me i need to go take this off right now or i am going to throw up
making this on my phone with very little sleep or consideration, but i think the point stands
sometimes i say things on twitter and then make a little graph about it
fan function: i want to solve the canon for X
fan friction: i want to add X to canon
fan fraction: i want to divide the canon by zero
take a knife to bring to the roman senate
reblog for more stabbing
Hi! I got the Hoenn zine (ADORED your contributions!) And I was wondering if you wrote the lava cookies recipe with your lavaridge piece as well? I made them yesterday and they were amazing!
aaa thank you!! yes i did, i sadly didn't have the time/energy to test it out, but it's based on candied ginger/dark choco banana bread i've made before! i'm glad they were good!!
Last one for this AU. Flat colors cus I nearly finished some comms yaaaaay
okay tumblr’s exclusion from the twitter social media ban list is hilarious but genuinely we do not belong on there. if a real human person asks “where can i find you on social media” and your choice is a swift death or revealing your tumblr, most of us would simply expire. half of y’all change urls every week like you’re in witness protection. just imagine for one second attaching your wholeass government name to your latest two am clownposting and tell me that didn’t send a cold chill down your spine. the only place i ever want to see the words “connect with me on tumblr!” is on the ao3 profile of an author i’m actively stalking. anyone in the world can follow me except anyone i personally know. antisocial media.
A few years ago, a new team member in my group looked at my chaotic, comic and anime laden desk, and made ASSUMPTIONS.
One day, they popped up over the cube wall and went, "You know what Tumblr is, dont you?"
I confirmed I was aware of the site, yes.
"What's your screen name?!?"
I sipped my tea. "Not in a million years."
Finished project: Rosemary
I was scrolling through my own blog today (as one does) and realized I never did a proper round-up post for Rosemary. So this is a bit of a retrospective I suppose! Click through for my notes on the project if you're interested - otherwise, I hope you like the pictures!
you know, I always see people tagging crochet and quilting posts with "people who do fibercrafts are too powerful" or "knitters are witches" and you know what, that's true, but they're only saying that on my single-stitch, self-striping crochet blanket because they've never seen lacemakers and haven't been properly taught the fear of god.
how have you been?
