This is from Mort. The sassy henchman, if I recall correctly, is stabbed immediately following this line.

A lot of rumors are about to fly about this rally. Trump's team is 100% going to try and take advantage of this situation. So will malicious foreign actors/bots/etc.

Please don't auto share. Check your sources, and vet their wording/sourcing carefully.

Ask yourself - What do you not need evidence to believe? Be very careful with those biases.

Walking distance is also about the safety of the walk. There are plenty of places at a distance I know I could physically walk that are not "walking distance" because they require walking down a major roadway with no safe walking path, or past a construction site that is not safe to cross. Others are much farther away but maintain the status of walking distance because I can use sidewalks or smaller/slower roads.

walking distance poll

• speaking for your own definition in a private context (for example not what you would expect when a hotel advertises a "beach at walking distance" but rather if you want to go somewhere, what distance do you consider within your personal walking distance)

• you can walk at any pace you like, fast or slow

• you can take as many breaks as you like, the only thing that matters is the total time that it takes you to get from point A to point B

• you can use any medical mobility aids you want/need to cross the distance

a diagram of a hand-rolled hem

I used this rolled-hem stitch (diagram found HERE) to restore the hems of my own hand-me-down silk scarves and handkerchiefs. It's fiddly and time-consuming, but once you get it down the results are beautiful.

I have a length of white linen and nigh unto zero embroidery skills but fuck that I want handkerchiefs so I gotta cut up the cloth and figure out how to hem the edges and what kinda fun little shits to embroider in the corners

Yes this is indeed me asking for suggestions
