To those who celebrate, whether you say #MardiGras or #ShroveTuesday, remember #Lent is coming.
#Food traditions, like #pancake suppers, consume eggs, sugar, and fat that were forbidden during Lent and might otherwise have been wasted.

In August 1863, Frederick Douglass stopped recruiting Black soldiers. He forced the Union to confront its contradictions: unequal pay, denied rank…violence against Black troops. He walked into the WH, challenged Abraham Lincoln directly, and left unconvinced by policy but clear about power. He resumed speaking not because justice had been secured, but because pressure, not faith, is what moves a nation forward.

Historical Knitting & Crochet question:
How old is the usage of Blocking Pins* ?
Presumably it's tied to the invention and popular usage of rust proof pins - so somehow tied to Victorian Era Industrialisation ? - but this is hard for me, a non Historian to research.
[* Blocking Pins are groups of pins that today usually have plastic handles but can also be made with wooden handles]
