With his regular table at Dan Aykroyd’s House Of Blues, vast CD collection featuring the likes of B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, and Jonny Lang, and framed photo of himself with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Smalls has been “a huge fan” of the music for more than 20 years.

But the 43-year-old Smalls is not merely a blues lover: With his May 1999 relocation of Alliance’s main assembly plant from Cicero, IL, to Hermosillo, Mexico, Smalls put 2,700 mostly black employees out of work, making him one of Chicago’s greatest blues causers.

“The best show I’ve ever seen had to be Clapton at the Rosemont Horizon back in ’94,” Smalls declared over a $5.50 Sam Adams draft at the Bulldog Brew Pub. “He did a version of ’Before You Accuse Me’ that absolutely smoked. Unbelievable.”

I do this, too! I crocheted an afghan that took approximately three miles of yarn! It is very cozy.

I love thinking about yarn amounts in terms of practical distance. The cardigan I'm knitting will use 1,200 yards of yarn in 10 skeins. That's the length of 12 football fields, or close to 3/4 of a mile of yarn laid straight. I also think it's funny how small it gets compressed down to when wound into a skein, so that all 10 can fit in a shopping bag. When I tell non-knitters all this it makes their heads explode

I just heard a coworker use the phrase "a person of indeterminate gender," and because I have been growing tomatoes I am just picturing somebody whose gender keeps growing like a vine, producing more and more gender throughout the gender growing season, rather than remaining compact like a bush and producing all of their gender in a 1-3 week period.

Meanwhile I was planted in the shade and my attempts to produce gender have been largely unsuccessful.

Image Description.

Facebook post from Matt Norris.

Post reads like a conversation between 2 people:

Prison labor is a problem we need to address soon.

Convicts in prison should have to work like the rest of us.

You mean like slavery?

No, we’re giving them 3 meals and a bed, at our expense, while they just sit around and watch TV. They should have to work!

Right. Like slavery.

It’s not like slavery!

Can they leave?

No.

Can they refuse work?

No.

So how exactly isn’t this slavery?

We DO pay them!

Do we pay in accordance with labor laws?

No. We pay them between 33 cents and $1.41/hour with a maximum daily wage below $5, then take up to half of that as room&board fees and victim compensation.

Right. So like slavery.

BUT.

No.

Image then links to this url.

Below URL image reads “fun bonus fact: enough of our labor market currently relies on labor at these depressed rates, that it has a substantial downward pressure on both wages and job availability in low-skilled sectors. Immigrants aren’t taking your jobs. Slavery is.

End description.

I’d also like to add it’s not just private prisons. It’s also private detention centers where ICE keeps the immigrants.

I get a ton of my frames from Goodwill. Used to pick up a bunch at yard sales, too. Sometimes on Craigslist people will sell mixed lots of shitty mass-produced paintings, and then I can get a frame *and* a canvas to paint over.

you spend so much money on art at con and you go "ahhh job well done, i have supported artists and also gotten nice decorations for my enclosure" and you trick yourself into thinking this is all there is to it. WRONG! one squillion dollars for frames
