X Over ZeroA River Runs Through It: 🎺⚓🦢🚢 Introducing our brand new heirloom napkin rings: inspired by ancient paths of the Mississippi River across thousands of years of its geological history. We created these pieces by carefully hand-tracing historic meander maps of the Mississippi with pencil on vellum, re-tracing each river digitally, then interweaving them manually to create the models for casting. These are the first pieces in an ongoing collection celebrating the rhythms and grace of natural geography shaped by the passage of time. Designed to honor familiar landscapes, this series aims to ground social gatherings in the shared terrain that connects generations. 🎆🎇 <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Southern?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Southern</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/living?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#living</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/dining?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dining</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/diningroom?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diningroom</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/table?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#table</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/interiordecor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#interiordecor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/finedining?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#finedining</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/silver?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#silver</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/heirloom?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heirloom</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jeweler?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jeweler</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sculpture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sculpture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/antiques?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antiques</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/antique?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antique</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/luxury?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#luxury</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mississippi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mississippi</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/delta?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#delta</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arkansas?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arkansas</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/memphis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#memphis</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tennessee?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tennessee</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NewOrleans?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewOrleans</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/louisiana?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#louisiana</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MississippiRiver?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MississippiRiver</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/historical?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historical</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/heritage?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heritage</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/craftsmanship?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#craftsmanship</a>

skykiss ♾️🇺🇦 Vote MidtermsRobert Francis Prevost aka Pope Leo's New Orleans RootsMultiple genealogists, including the Louisiana Creole expert Jari Honora, traced Prevost's ancestry to the Black community of New Orleans. His maternal ancestors lived in the Crescent City before migrating to Chicago in the early 20th century.Leo XIV is not known to have publicly commented on his African ancestry, which is part of a mixed heritage that also includes French, Italian, and Spanish roots. According to the U.S. Census, Prevost's mother, the late Mildred Martinez, was the mixed-race daughter of Black property owners, the Haitian-born Joseph Martinez and <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NewOrleans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewOrleans</a> native Louise Baquié, a Creole.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/10/us/pope-creole-new-orleans-records.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/10/us/pope-creole-new-orleans-records.html</a>
