easy non-alcoholic mixed drinks

not something that we usually post, but thought it might be nice for the times when you want something slightly fancier than a pre-packaged drink, but don’t want to put in too much effort or drink alcohol. the instructions for all of the following “recipes” are to simply mix the ingredients together in a tall glass.

passion fruit + grapefruit twist:

12 oz. grapefruit sparkling water

1/3 cup passion fruit juice cocktail

pomegranate berry “sangria”:

12 oz. cranberry, mixed-berry, or cherry sparkling water

1/3 cup pomegranate juice

optional: 2 tbs. cranberry juice

optional: 1 tbs. grenadine syrup

optional, but recommended if using unsweetened juice(s): sugar to taste

cranberry lime:

12 oz. lime sparkling water

1/3 cup cranberry juice

optional, but recommended if using unsweetened juice(s): sugar to taste

optional: half a small lime’s worth of fresh juice

George Henry (1858-1943) - On the Banks of Allan Water : Winter

Oil on canvas. Painted in 1888.

43.75 x 87 inches, 111 x 221 cm. Estimate: £15,000-25,000.

To be sold Lyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh, 26 Sept 2024.

Third part of a triptych to illustrate On the Banks of Allan Water, a popular song, the three works were installed in a mansion house and have not been seen in public before.

On the Banks of Allan Water When the sweet springtime did fall Was the miller’s lovely daughter, Fairest of them all, For his bride a soldier sought her, And a winning tongue had he! On the Banks of Allan Water, None so gay as she.

On the Banks of Allan Water, When brown Autumn spreads its store There I saw the Miller’s daughter, But she smiled no more. For the summer grief had brought her And her soldier, false was he; On the Banks of Allan Water, None so sad as she.

On the Banks of Allan Water, When the winter snow fell fast, There I saw the Miller’s daughter; Chilling blew the blast, But the miller’s lovely daughter, Both from care and cold was free; On the Banks of Allan Water, There a corpse lay she.

I've posted the other two paintings that are also in this sale.

Hi everyone, serious post!

If you've been following me for a while or you're a mutual of mine, you probably already know that I'm Native American, but I feel the need to expand a little bit.

I'm a member of the Chinook Indian Nation - I don't expect you to know that name. We've been fighting for recognition as long as I've been alive, even though we've been here since the beginning of European presence in the West Coast, and long before it.

We are constantly fighting. The vast majority of our population was killed by disease and colonization, and with that we lost our language. But after that hardship we are still here. We are still fighting. The government has effectively spat in our faces and said that not only are we unworthy of their time - we are unworthy of respect. Of dignity. I'm asking you, the people who take the time to read this post to dedicate even a fraction of your time to signing our petitions, boosting this post, or using the ChinookJustice hashtag on any major social media platform.

We don't just want our land back, we want our home back. We want the bodies of our ancestors, which are routinely dug up during construction. We want the relics of our tribe that are hanging up in museums to be returned, but first there needs to be a home for them to return to. Our campaigns have shockingly low amounts of signatures, but I'm hoping that the good people I know are here can change that.

Here you can sign the petition to restore our federal recognition. Here residents of Washington and Oregon state can contact their legislators in support of federal recognition for the Chinook Nation. Here you can donate to help us continue fighting. Here you can find information about Chinook justice, and here is our official Instagram.

If you spent time reading this, thank you, but if you went out of your way to sign our petitions, donate, or spread awareness, I love you for it.
