@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io idk the first thing about #knitting or #crochet, but the people who do these crafts seem very fun-spirited. So, I share this reminder that the U.S. National Park Service has patterns for a goat, a cactus, fish, triops, a beaver, and more. https://www.nps.gov/search/?query=crochet&sitelimit=&affiliate=nps

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social for those interested in an exceptionally well-researched documentation of these events, Dr. Scott Ellsworth’s Death in a Promised Land is outstanding » https://bookshop.org/a/99085/9780807117675
He served as chief historian on the Tulsa Race Riot Commission (1999-2000) and chaired the committee leading the effort to identify the unmarked graves of victims of the 1921 riot for the 2021 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial.

The Massachusetts-born Bates attended the all-women Wellesley College and Oxford University before joining the Wellesley College faculty. A social reform advocate — especially for women, immigrants, laborers, people of color, and the poor — she was engaged in myriad socio-political activities.
Involved in a “Boston marriage” with colleague and friend Katharine Coman, Bates never married; had she done so she likely would have lost her faculty position and the relative independence she enjoyed. 🧵

Oh! I instinctively wanted to employ “egest” as the antithesis to “ingest” and — in fact — it is a word! Yay brain! 🧠 » https://www.dictionary.com/browse/egest
Are generative outputs egested?

“America. A Poem for July 4.” was drafted in summer 1893 while Bates taught English at Colorado College. The wondrous views atop Pikes Peak (Tavi'wachi Núuchi name: Tavakiev) inspired her wish for a wholly egalitarian, inclusive U.S. given the sexist and anti-equality prejudices of the period, the havoc of the Industrial Revolution, her direct knowledge of urban poverty’s effects, and the Panic of 1893, a severe economic depression lasting eight months.

@zorg_the_blue@infosec.exchange @imaginaryuncle@masto.nu @carrideen@c18.masto.host Thank you for recommending me! 🥰
This week I’ve been fortunate with two #acting gigs and one #audition. I’ve also gotten to watch the 2023 #documentary #film Wilding, which has finally made it to #PBS in the U.S. » https://www.pbs.org/show/wilding/
Documentary is one of my favorite #media forms, and as a #nature lover this work pulls on the scientific strings of my heart. (Is that irony?) I hope the close-up and wide fauna shots were achieved organically, without #CGI, fakery, or staged interactions.
Have you been to #Knepp Wildland?

It was a privilege to play Professor Laurel in Ved Ganesh’s topical new #play, *A Weird Clipped Eulogy*, directed by Elliot Norton Award-winner Pascale Florestal and presented by the #MIT Playwrights Lab under the guidance of Drama Desk Award-winning #playwright Ken Urban.
The cast are so delightfully talented, I’m sorry we didn’t have even more time to play together. 🎭

A revised version of the poem was published in the Boston Evening Transcript in 1904, and yet another was included as the first poem in Bates’s 1912 book, America The Beautiful and other Poems » https://archive.org/details/americabeautiful00baterich/page/n5/mode/2up
The patriotic song United Statesians know as “America the Beautiful” was created by Boston publisher Oliver Dotson & Co. in 1910 who set Bates’s amended poem to 1882 hymn tune “Materna”, by New Jersey-based organist-choirmaster Samuel A. Ward. Bates and Ward never met.
