March Cornucopia

 

March is done, and here's the cornucopia post roundup of all the things I enjoyed this month online. It's a smorgasbord this time for sure. After the February emoji-explosion went so well, I decided to do one for St. Patrick's Day green decoration purposes, please enjoy all (and I mean all) of the green emojis. None of which are at all St. Patrick's Day related though, ie no shamrocks, tam-o-shanters, leprechauns, green beer, etc.

I think this free placemat pattern is very cool, and it'd be pretty easy to make a matching table runner as well.

I have learned so much interesting history from Talia Lavin's Sword & the Sandwich sub stack series on Notable Sandwiches. Well worth a read along with her other writing of course.

On the 2oth anniversary of the Iraq war, the best thing I read was this: The Unlearned Lessons From The War In Iraq by Spencer Ackerman, "you don't have to reflect on a war if that war doesn't end, let alone pay reparations for your crimes"
