Magnificent (to perform it there and also the piece itself)

The Poet Laureate of the UK is famous for his translation of St Gawain and the Green Knight, and Kym once got up on stage, looked him straight in the eye, and then performed this.

Unsurprisingly enough, every time they've encountered each other since, he's remembered them.

I think we may be making different points-I've seen all those brands of tractors (and driven and overhauled several!)- I've never seen an oil-fueled stationary haybind like this in person, they were a generation earlier and long out of active use where I grew up

Oh brill - I'd never seen one in person at all, I'd only heard about them - our county fairs featured different tractors!

oh cool! yeah I wasn't sure if that was steam or exhaust on a petrol engine burning dirty (common enough w/o near-constant fine-tuning that early).

I managed an international move w/o Target. It wasn't ideal, but I made it work. They know the moves they'd have to make to bring us back, and they won't make them : (

You can easily see how this might've developed for steam, using belt-tech, and then easily be converted to safer petrol (which I assume this one is, since no one is positioned to feed it).

YOU GUYS!!! Hidden in this image is an intermediate technology--this is a STATIONARY SEMI-MECHANICAL haybind!! Its job was to compress the hay into a long, rectangular column. Note the women on either side hand-tying off bales, and one loading the hopper. These women were trail-blazers!

someone was saying they thought maple syrup just came out of the tree, and it’s funny because we have a story about this in ojibwe

like, the syrup used to come out that way but people got lazy and fat so the creator thinned it out into sap so we wouldn’t take it for granted

srsly it's the Women in/on Wikipedia problem. I love me some wiki but they have singularly failed to address the gender imbalance

It's important to keep in mind that Markwayne Mullins is a Cherokee citizen. And that most reporters (and frankly most people in the U.S.) don't talk to natives and have very little insight into what a tribal nation even means.

I understand the desire to rebrand courses so as to attract more students, but I think it would be more effective if universities reinstituted some breadth requirements in the humanities and arts. I believe that @lollardfish.bsky.social has made this point in the past, and I agree.

*dawning realization that this is the first book I'll have published where I DON'T have to hunt down all reviews to include them in annual scrapbooking for my admin. I can bloody well ignore the damned things like a proper author if I want to, this time.*
