My favourite thing about DB cooper is his name was actually Dan cooper but became DB cooper due to a newspaper misprint. Like imagine pulling off the greatest unsolved crime ever and they get your name wrong.
literally just everything falling apart from start to finish for this guy. having to awkwardly get the flight attendant to read your bomb threat note bc she thought you were just pathetically hitting on her. probably having your own reasons to pick out “dan cooper” for your false name. maybe thinking like, this name could go down in history. they will remember me as “dan cooper”. almost definitely dying midfall, but even if you did make it like, you lose some of the money and it washes up in a river later. and your fucking pseudonym gets misreported by the media and youre “db cooper” from now on. 50 years later people on a blogging site are making fun of you. calling you eeby deeby cooper.
The women of Gee’s Bend, a small, mostly African American town in rural Alabama, started making masterful quilts in the early 19th century. But the art world only began recognizing their work relatively recently, with the first major exhibitions of Gee’s Bend quilts taking place in the early 2000s. Since then, cultural institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum have added colorful quilts by artists Martha Jane Pettway, Mary Lee Bendolph, Lucy T. Pettway and many more to their collections.
I wish I had a few thousand dollars to spare so I can purchase one of these quilts off of Etsy. They’re selling out fast! I am so happy for them.
