Which bible? and the visuals of this! In front of the Oklahoma state flag? Which features an Osage war shield under a peace pipe & olive branch. Never forget, the Osage were persecuted under missionaries, & children were kidnapped from their families & taught the bible in schools

[Ryan Walters @RyanWalters_]

Oklahoma kids will learn that the Bible and the Ten Commandments are foundational for western civilization. The left is upset, but one cannot rewrite history.

Is it maybe something that covers the bolster when dressing the bed? There are no 'pillows' listed anywhere in the ledger, but we know he's supplying soldiers of the French & Indian War...could this be something related to camp bedding and not household bedding as I've assumed?

[tRavis @thartfuldodgr]

The ledger is from Alexandria, if that is significant.

[tRavis @thartfuldodgr]

I guess this is where I'm turning. Any early American textile scholars know what 'Bolster End' is? It appears about a dozen times in a 1750s ledger I'm working with. It was sold by the yard. There are only a few instances of him selling 'bolster ticking' but not the two together

@WiStateJournal Seems like Wisconsin GOP loves increasing government and stripping parents of their rights to choose what's best for their children.

Today on Edge Effects, Sreyashi Ray (from @UMN_AMES) explores how Indian artist Jagannath Panda imagines a multispecies urbanism, where campy birds wander like salesmen and uncanny goats don brocade coats. Read more: https://t.co/oeau2wTOcg

Sustainable forestry: lumber without cutting down trees. Daisugi is a Japanese forestry technique where specially planted cedar trees are pruned heavily (think of it as giant bonsai) to produce "shoots" that become perfectly uniform, straight and completely knot free lumber.
