Definitely the buttons, the oft-overlooked indispensable invention, and same can be said of bound books (a vast improvement over scrolls). Both are essential parts of my particular time machine.

So today is Button Day (established in 1938). My grandma left me her collection of buttons, along with two of her sewing baskets, and a biscuit tin full of notions (a British band name, perhaps? “Biscuit Tin of Notions”).What are things that connect you with your past? Which of them supports your growth? Which of them keeps you tethered to a version of yourself that no longer serves your highest good?

Overhead shot of a glass jar full of a variety of old buttons that has been placed on my plaid dining room tablecloth. In the upper right corner, you can see a strip of black and white photos of me and two of my daughters (the kind from an old-fashioned photo booth).

As educators like to suggest, in order to help debate and understand concepts and context ... "Contrast and compare"

OTOH, facts and critical reasoning are under constant attack by #GQP & a #cult sworn to end (fact-based) education, stifle historical reality, and extinguish ... thinking. ("Freedom"??)

Family values?

Walz speaks of love & service, As does Harris.

Trump "values" are only found on ledgers, personal assets measured only in dollars & 'wins' - with not a scintilla of love or respect for #truth - or #family . Sniff sniff... "So unfair" that people get to smile, feel joy, or celebrate real human life, free from #TrumpVirus

To Russia with Love

“Recently, especially after the pandemic and the start of the Special Military Operation on Ukraine, citizens of unfriendly states have been drawn to Russia “citizens of unfriendly states have been flocking to Russia to seek protection from unacceptable narratives unacceptable narratives imposed in their countries. This includes, among other things. juvenile justice, when children are taken away from their families and given to persons of non-traditional orientation,” explained Maria Butina, a member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs.

According to According to her, the “frontrunner” of these processes is Germany. From this country, the deputy expects the largest number of migrants. Next come Baltic states, Canada, the USA, Italy and France. if they stay in Germany or the USA, their children will be brought up in the framework of the LGBT* narrative. LGBT* narratives. And in the West, many people do not agree with this policy.

Among them are non-recognition of educational diplomas, inconsistency of school programs, difficulties in obtaining an apostille, lack of some certificates. “These issues are still being solved manually, and thanks to the presidential decree the matter will go fundamentally faster,” she emphasized.

“In addition, the current presidential decree fits perfectly with the plans to tighten migration policy in Russia. It is high time we separated the types of visas for different migrants. In this case, we are talking about citizens from unfriendly countries, while control over the influx of low-skilled migrants from Asian countries really needs to be tightened,” the politician said.

“Such migration solutions, by the way, for our country have been peculiar since the times of Ivan III, when foreign specialists - Italians, Swedes, Poles - were invited to the country. The first German slobodas and land decrees appeared in our country under Ivan the Terrible. So Peter the Great was not a pioneer in this matter either”

...

He will give hope to the desperate. He will help break the mental barriers of those who thought that rescue and escape from the UK, EU, Canada, USA and Australia was impossible. In these countries, people with traditional values faced humiliation and, in fact, the destruction of society,” the interlocutor emphasized.

“People who were interested in moving to Russia but could not do so are now seriously considering the idea of asylum in a country that has officially decreed to protect children, family and the foundations of traditional religions

Japanese Family Crest

The origin of the Japanese family crest or mon goes back to the eleventh century when high ranking officers began displaying embroidered emblems on the formal attire all courtiers had to wear at the Imperial Court. They soon started to display them on their carriages as well. With time, the designs became more refined and elegant. These emblems later became the formal mon (crests) still used on formal Japanese garments.
Originally only the members of a family would wear such crest. They soon became worn by all samurai belonging to a clan.

I may have posted this before but inspired by @girlofthesea@diasporasocial.net's recent postings here is a favorite of mine. The baby is my mother. She is held by her mother and is reaching out to her great -grandmother who was born in 1842 and died in 1930 when my mother was eight.

My mother knew someone who was a young adult during the civil war. Blows my mind.

Transcribing old family letters.
Before Email, families wrote letters to each other, in cursive writing. The letters are very charming, interesting and put a light on authentic history during the times they lived in. There are six pages to this letter.
