In honor of pride month, here are all of the drag performances I could find in the PEM's digitized collection of broadsides (1870s-1910s)
Content advisory: Two of these broadsides are for nights of entertainment that contain minstrel blackface acts. The final image is for a night of entertainment that is primarily billed as a minstrel show. One of the performers, The Great Ricardo, appears to be a minstrel show performer themselves.
Round top glass jar packaging complaint (Elevated Cultivation)
Just need to vent about how bad this packaging situation is. I got an eighth gifted to me from Elevated Cultivation. It came in a glass jar with a round top, and a flat wood veneer look lid. Child safety mechanism is to push down on the lid as it turns.
Well, despite the glass jar being very heavy and wasteful unless not used as a single-use product, the childproof cap became an everyone-proof cap. The inner/lower cap has little plastic teeth that got stripped before the eighth was gone. Press down as hard as you can and it just spins over it with a loud click-click-click. I had to pry the wood veneer upper cap off and mangle the round lower cap surface with a vise-grip to get the jar open. What a joke. Either get packaging that is single use and not wasteful (ie mylar or a plastic jar) or don't cheap out and make something with heavy glass that you then pair with a single use cap that breaks before I'm even done with the weed you sold inside of it.
What are these three planes doing? Two cessnas, one no callsign
Looking for a refillable soft flame lighter like a Clipper that is easier on the fingers
I've switched to refilling lighters to be less wasteful, and I've been using a Clipper which I like (except that it throws the flame too high, but Bics started doing this too a few years ago) but I'm getting a callus on my thumb from the sharper striking wheel than the Bic. Are there any good soft flame butane lighters with a replaceable flint that I won't feel terrible about losing that have a less rough striking wheel than a Clipper lighter?
