In 1941, Manfred Lewin (left), a young Jewish man living in Nazi Berlin, made a small book of poems and pictures. He gave this book to his boyfriend, Gad Beck (right), as they waited out an air raid together.
Today, The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has a beautiful online exhibit where you can view this book in its entirety, along with translations and additional information. It’s a wonderful little piece of queer history, and I encourage you all to check it out here.
I bought 2 jars of jelly as a gift for someone but the USPS is brutal. One of the jars was broken in transit. The breaks were clean and the jelly was contained so I transferred it to a clean jar and kept it for myself.
The taste was incredible. I cannot begin to describe how much better it is than store bought jelly. It’s just the right amount of sweetness with no aftertaste. The flavors from Red Lake Nation also can’t be purchased at a local store because they’re directly from the land. Anything homemade tends to taste more “real” because it doesn’t tend to have the preservatives or other additives big manufacturers use.
Ever looked at a Smucker’s label? The first ingredient is fruit. The apricot in my pantry has the second ingredient listed as high fructose corn syrup and the third as corn syrup.
Red Lake Nation’s wild plum jelly is listed as three ingredients. Wild plum juice, sugar, pectin. (Pectin is what makes jelly thick and into a spread.) No high fructose corn syrup, preservatives or additives.
I’m not going to lie, this stuff was pricey. It’s $7.00 for a 12 oz jar vs. around $3.00 for a 10 oz jar of the name brands in the store. Plus the shipping. However, it’s not just the fact it’s healthier and you’re supporting
the Chippewa. Each jar is made from hand harvested berries or fruits. It’s made by hand, packaged by hand, labels are printed on site and shipped by hand. As someone who runs a small business out of my home I can tell you that all of that? It takes a lot of time and effort.
I can’t afford it all the time but I plan on buying more at least a couple of times a year. It’s well worth it, and I’d like to try their syrup and other flavors of jelly.
They also sell wild rice and handmade jewelry. Check them out. Your tastebuds will thank you.
she was telling them team skull members are banned from mantine surfing, because they keep trying to dance while surfing and falling off
not because they’re part of a group of pokemon thieves or anything, just because they’re that bad at surfing and people are tired of having to rescue them
Construction illegally started here last year without the proper paper work. And implied threats.
This wasn’t even eminent domain, because they never seized the land they just started showing up with it still privately owned.
So, I live nowhere near here, but if anyone wants to try to do something I felt I should spread the word.
This should be something supporters of private land ownership and enviornmentalists both agree on.
Destroying a butterfly sanctuary to build a militarized border fence is one of those things that would be heavy handed metaphors in fiction.
Unfortunately this is real life.
Trump is so cartoonishly evil he tells a kid there’s no Santa on Christmas Eve and now is becoming a Captain Planet villain yet there are some people out there who somehow still see no problem.
The sanctuary is taking donations to help pay their legal fees (referenced in article) if anyone can afford to donate a dollar or two.
