Simplicity
It always amazes me what can catch your eye – even the simplest of things.
After two weeks of our Junior Historians classes – one in July and one in August – our class supply cabinets become a little tired. There are knots of embroidery thread, shells that have found themselves among beads, a pile of fabric, a jumble of tinsmithing cans. I love to try and straighten and neaten and organize but I may have met my match in our high school intern (her second summer with us). She loves organizing and tasked with a huge knot of embroidery thread – this is what she came up with. She found a few too many needles still in the jumble – which she rescued – but look at this neatness and the colors! I think William Mitchell would adore this – the colors that is!

Sender: @avernusfuries Prompt: i cannot count the number of times i've been ripped off a barstool & thrown in a cage . - dammon!
“I . . .” the smith held onto the single syllable for a moment while allowing himself a moment to really look at Karlach, trying to imagine anyone grabbing her away from a stool. Bet even if a fully armored Fist was able to do it, she wouldn't leave them without a bruise to answer for the act. A light chuckle came from him before he continued speaking. “Forgive me, I just can't fathom the image of you being torn from anything without you being willing.”
A hand gestured vaguely at her body. “Just look at you,” he said with an incredulous grin. “Perhaps you were smaller in these stories you tell but if you're anything close to what you are now? I hardly believe a single word of what you told me a moment ago. Unless you were piss drunk and practically wobbling off of that barstool already.”
The right touch of alcohol on the tongue made even the most fearsome of warriors an easy conquer.

te quiero porque te quiero (fandangos) by rozalén ft. rodrigo cuevas
te quiero porque te quiero / cuando paso por tu puerta / cuando paso por tu puerta / cojo pan y voy comiendo
6 AM by ginebras
¿cómo olvidarme de los días / en un bar de la latina / y del latero que hace música al pasar? ¿de influencias modernistas y mareas / feministas / si en el fondo no lo he pasado tan mal?
el cielo son los otros by confeti de odio
solo estoy contento cuando algo a mi alrededor / me distrae del hecho de que sigo siendo yo
la posada by sebastián cortés ft. alba reche
me enseña to' lo que hay por descubrir / no' miramos de cerquita pa' sentir / to' lo que nos queda, to' lo que nos queda / por vivir
tanguillo de la guapa de cádiz by lola flores
¡y desí que yo tengo postiso! / comprobadlo, tenéis mi permiso, / pasarme la mano, / vamo a vé si encontráis miraguano, / serrín o viruta; / que me toque una mano inocente.
que pasa nen by alizz
però em sento la chanel, català de segona / burguesia intel·lectual podeu menjar-me la poll-
a ver qué pasa by rigoberta bandini
y a ver qué pasa / porque algo pasa / creo que algo pasa / cuando me pasa
desastre de persona by ginebras ft. dani martín
dices que quieres ir al cine / por parecer que eres intelectual / y ya te has puesto quince alarmas / porque mañana tienes que trabajar
adiós by zahara
dedícame mi canción de despedida / y dedícame tu canción de despedida / ¿cómo has tenido valor de hacer una canción de amor?
esa también fui yo (quiero acordarme) by alba reche
me forzaron a querer dentro de una habitación / aún me culpo al dedicarte toda una puta canción

Mossbawn: Two Poems in Dedication
For Mary Heaney
I. Sunlight
There was a sunlit absence.
The helmeted pump in the yard
heated its iron,
water honeyed
in the slung bucket
and the sun stood
like a griddle cooling
against the wall
of each long afternoon.
So, her hands scuffled
over the bakeboard,
the reddening stove
sent its plaque of heat
against her where she stood
in a floury apron
by the window.
Now she dusts the board
with a goose’s wing,
now sits, broad-lapped,
with whitened nails
and measling shins:
here is a space
again, the scone rising
to the tick of two clocks.
And here is love
like a tinsmith’s scoop
sunk past its gleam
in the meal-bin.
- Seamus Heaney
love is stored in the kitchen
perhaps the world ends here - joy harjo // the world unseen (2007) - dir. shamim sarif // text post - @jacebeleren // daidai’s kitchen - @pakchoys // text post - @bicarusgf // in the kitchen - helena janecic // letter to donald windham - tennessee williams // お仕事 - @tomokohara // summer kitchen - donald hall // perhaps the world ends here - joy harjo
#sorry for the addition I just love this poem a lot#It’s more familial love but the image of ‘here is love like a tinsmith’s scoop sunk past its gleam in the meal bin’ has stuck with me#poetry#ach this post stings a bit!!#memories of being in someone’s kitchen#them being in mine#feeling comfortable together there#having it then#and not having it now#失恋.txt

Tinsmith - Bolts and Locks
First off, the song is great. I love it a lot. Here is the band’s website.
Second off, I will never stop associating this song with a really popular Gaara/Lee fanfiction called Diplomatic Relations. (This is an AO3 link but this fic was on livejournal first, yes I am old and so is it) I remember listening to Tinsmith’s album all through out reading through this fic. (Also fic really holds up, there is a reason why it inspired like 60% of all the fics in that pairing).
Third off, lead vocalist in this video, Rowan Corbett, is also a member of Carolina Chocolate Drops which I found out years later, but really cool because guess who else is a member of that group? Rhiannon Giddens another amazing musician and singer.

William Forster Mitchell (1825 – 1892)
This summer, I created a small exhibit in the Maria Mitchell Vestal Street Observatory to highlight some of the other Mitchell family members. We were celebrating the renovation of the Seminar Room addition at the MMO – completed with a gift from MMA board member and Mitchell family descendant, Richard Wolfe. Mr. Wolfe is a descendant of Maria Mitchell’s younger brother, William Forester. I have mentioned him before but thought I would share some more details of another remarkable member of the Mitchell Family.
Named by his parents, William and Lydia Mitchell, for the famous English Quaker, Forster as he was called was educated like his siblings – in his father’s schools, at home, and in Quaker-led schools on the island. Forster married Charlotte Coffin Dow in 1846. While he left Quaker meeting – as all of his siblings did – he later returned with a reinstatement by the Meeting. Following in the footsteps of his father, Forster became a teacher serving at several schools, including heading a Penn Charter School in Philadelphia and helping a financially floundering school for people of color in Philadelphia. Forster served as Haverford College Superintendent from 1861-1862 and then was made principal at the Roberts Vaux Public School in Philadelphia. An abolitionist and educator, he became a supervisor and teacher in the Freedmen’s Aid Commission, working in the South with formerly enslaved people. His daughter, Annie Maria joined him in his work there for several years.
Founded in 1859 during the Civil War, the Commission was created by several religious denominations that hired teachers and provided housing so that they could establish and run schools in the South to help and support those who had been enslaved. The Commission also assisted formerly enslaved peoples with finding jobs, housing, and basic necessities for life. The work of the Commission’s teachers helped to raise the literacy rate of the formerly enslaved people by an incredible amount – it founded over 500 schools and colleges in the South where the newly freed could gain professional degrees as well. Children, men, and women all attended the schools to learn to read or to improve their limited literacy. Forster Mitchell found himself a part of a Commission that included many Quakers and quite a few Nantucketers, including island teacher Anna Gardner.
As a young man, Forster apprenticed to his uncle, Peleg Mitchell Jr – William Mitchell’s youngest brother – who owned a tinsmithing shop. His apprenticeship proved very useful, as Forster became a founding faculty member at Howard College (now University) where he taught tinsmithing in the Industrial Arts Department – a craft he learned from his Uncle Peleg. In ill health later in his life, Forester returned to Nantucket at the invitation of his younger brother, Henry, who had a home on the Cliff called Sunnycliff. Forster would die on Nantucket, in another house down the street from Henry, in 1892.

Sender: @rotdame Sent: HEY .. !! dammon .. !! just the person i wanted to see .
He hardly listened to his crowded surroundings but his head perked up at the mention of his name.
The tiefling smith beamed. “ Lil 'ol me? I can't fathom why unless you have some work that needs to be done - not that that's a bad thing. For the life of me, I can't think of the exact quote but it's something negative about having idle hands. So if you can keep me busy I shan't complain. ”
