i love the south. the ozarks and ouachitas, the piney woods, southeast texas, the mid-south, the lower delta, cajun country, the cumberland plateau, the deep south, new orleans, central appalachia, the smokies, the piedmont, the gulf coast, chesapeake bay, the south atlantic plain, the outer banks, the carolina beaches, the lowcountry, all of north florida… i just love it here and i love being from here. i love how diverse an area it is with so many different cultural identities and yet we all have solidarity due to common struggles and experiences. it has a lot of issues, and we as southerners have a lot of work to do, but i’ll never give up on us and our home.

HI SLUTS! Guess who got high and started looking through sailboat racing archives? THIS GIRL! I have returned from my spiritual journey to deliver onto you the choicest of Skipjack and "Log Canoe" photos. You're welcome.

Skipjacks are oyster harvesting ships designed around a legal loophole. Oyster dredgers had their power legally limited by being restricted to only one mast, so how do you keep dredging more oyster. STUFF THAT ONE MAST WITH AS MUCH SAIL AS POSSIBLE

Look at her! One Mast, 4 sails, 0 problems!

With the advent of motor boats many skipjacks and their cousins the "Log Canoes" were abandoned in favor of motorized dredgers. In boggy marshes these princes of the Chesapeake were left to molder, open graves for all to view their majesty in decay.

modern skipjacks are a popular racing vessel and they are beautiful sights dancing on the bay. I just want these two boats to kiss so bad.

"Log Canoes" are the smaller, crazier cousins of the Slipjacks. Originally made from hollowed out logs, they were continuously optimized for SPEED! This is because the first oysterman to return to the Buy Boat(big boats that bought fresh oysters from other boats to sell in market) would get the best price for their oysters, so every day was racing day.

Log Canoes have also become a modern racing boats carrying on the tradition of teeny tiny boats going ridiculously fast. You can see in these photos that they are so small, and their sails are so big, that they need "Boardmen" whose job it is to put down and then sit on long boards. These sluts are living counterweights to make sure that when the boat is moving perpendicular to the wind it doesn't capsize.

and if they mess up they will capsize, and then you're left looking like an idiot until you either manage to right the ship or the regata's official comes by in their boat.

Also I don't know why but middle-aged dads have never looked sluttier than when they are hanging off a tiny sailing vessel with their legs all stretched out trying not to fall into the Bay.

🎃🍪 Milk Chocolate Stuffed Jack-O-Lantern Cookies 🍪🎃

Get into the Halloween spirit with these adorable Milk Chocolate Stuffed Jack-O-Lantern Cookies! These festive treats are soft, chewy, and filled with gooey milk chocolate, making them perfect for celebrating the season. 🎃👻

You will need:

• Ingredients:

o For the Cookies:

 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

 1 cup granulated sugar

 1 cup packed brown sugar

 2 large eggs

 1 tsp vanilla extract

 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

 1 tsp baking powder

 1/2 tsp baking soda

 1/2 tsp salt

 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips or chunks

 Orange and black icing (for decoration)

• For the Filling:

o 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:

o In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

o Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

o In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

o Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

2. Prepare the Chocolate Filling:

o Place the milk chocolate chips or chunks in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.

3. Assemble the Cookies:

o Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

o Scoop out a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it into a disk.

o Place a small spoonful of melted milk chocolate in the center of the disk.

o Shape the cookies into a round form and place them on the prepared baking sheets.

4. Bake:
