The David Rumsey Historical Map Collection has gotten hold of “The Bootlegger Map of the United States,” an amusingly illustrated 1926 map from a bootlegger’s point-of-view that includes playful descriptions of state capitals, the resources of each state, and those odd things to look out for when in the moonshining business.

Bootlegger’s map of the United States, published in the early 20th Century. This unique map look at alcohol and prohibition. Includes many place names and plays on words that captures the humor and mood of the time.

The map was originally created by Edward Gerstall McCandlish, an early staff cartoonist at the Washington Post and children’s book illustrator.

Edward Gerstall McCandlish had an extraordinarily varied working career including being a staff cartoonist at the Washington Post where he illustrated a Sunday column called the Bunny Tots, an illustrator of many children’s books and designer of many toys, and designer of three humorous pictorial maps: The Bootlegger’s Map of the United States, The Ration Map of the U.S., and the “Un-Convention-Al Map of New Haven.”

Viajante is basically a very long and narrow triangular tube. Used flat, you can wrap it around your neck several times or put it on your shoulders as you would with a shawl. Open it up at the lace border and pull it over your head, and it will keep your entire upper body warm. If you wish, you can use it to add a dramatic asymmetrical silhouette to your wardrobe. Best thing: If you forgot your hat, you can just pull the narrow garter stitch part over your head and hide your ears from the cold. It is so versatile you will not want to leave the house without it!

The Jokerman font is a wildly original and energetic typeface in every way. Fanciful internal and external elements support a spirited troupe of casual letterforms that exude excitement and spirit.

Can you solve the drought? California Water Crisis is an educational game about California water politics. Take the role of one of California's three main regions (NorCal, SoCal, and the Central Valley) and try to find a solution to the fundamental cause of California's drought: there's more water demand than there's water. Based on extensive research on California water history and current conditions, California Water Crisis will expose you to real world challenges such as special interest groups, groundwater depletion, and population growth. Providing realism and replay value, the 3 regions have different starting resources, weaknesses, and potential strategies. This game takes about 10 minutes to learn and about 40-60 minutes to play. In addition to the main game, there are also two scenarios: one set in the late 1800s in the bad old days of reckless resource exploitation, and a cooperative scenario set in the mid 21st century.

It was just a dumb thing. Then we put a chip in it. Now it's a smart thing.

This was the power of the fur trade. This was the power of the beaver.

These suits all boil down to a rather simple allegation: these companies pay the people who supply the equipment and manpower that power their businesses like independent contractors, while burdening them with the work expectations of employees.

Strolling through London in dresses made from rationed fabric c.1943

Somewhere in my Life magazine collection there’s an article on how women in wartime England recycled worn out men’s suits to make dresses.

Oops my hand slipped.

Seriously one of the most beautiful and meaningful endings ever for a lesbian couple. 

 Please watch it.

If scenes in the beginning of the show make you uncomfortable, don’t ditch it.  You’re supposed to feel uncomfortable.  The show is very symbolic social commentary on toxic social expectations for conformity and sexuality.

Here’s some cultural context:

In a majority of Japanese media featuring girlxgirl relationships, the relationships are seen as either temporary non-sexual romantic friendships for young teens, or individuals are depicted as threatening and predatory lesbians. Their lesbianism is either meant to emphasize villain status or serve as a recurring gag.   This show amps both of these tropes up to 11, and is turning them on their head so we can see their flaws.

Sadly, the media reflects cultural misconceptions and stereotypes placed on lesbians in real life.

Women who love women beyond childhood are seen as immature and/or willfully nonconformist/disturbed and must be secretive to prevent social exclusion.  Many date or even get married to men to conform, and conduct a lesbian relationship in private.

With that cultural context, please, watch Yurikuma!
