The California Postal Service?
Start with a stack of old, unused California postcards and then make some artist stamps to add along with the official postage.   And if President Biden doesn’t fire Louis DeJoy soon, we might actually need our own California Postal Service.  If that happens, Huell Howser is going on a stamp!

So I Wanna Talk About Jefferson
If he ever shows up, I think he would be such a petty bitch cuz LOOK

He's like, if California and Oregon had a rebellious kid that absolutely hates their guts. Typical child of divorce. Keep in mind that this is his official flag, and it's practically screaming, "Hello, backstabbers :)"
California (begrudgingly) has main custody while Oregon gets weekends.

Just straight up declares himself the 49th state. The thing that gets me here is the fact that he literally just... seceded every Thursday. Ah yes, what a perfectly normal mundane activity to schedule.
Jefferson: Wha'd'ya mean I can't go to the meeting?! It's Thursday, so I'm a state!
California: Seceding weekly does not legally make you a state
Jefferson: I don't have to listen to you! You're not my dad >:(

And when they were going to vote on whether to make him a state, goddamn Pearl Harbor of all things happen.

Milestone Monday
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
February 5th marks the anniversary of the discovery of the largest alluvial gold nugget in history, known as “Welcome Stranger.” The nugget was found in 1869 by miners John Deason and Richard Oates just outside of Dunolly, Australia. It weighed just under 193 pounds earning the miners roughly £9,381 (equivalent to around A$743,000 today). A little over 8,000 miles away, California was winding down its famed gold rush that forever altered the area’s landscape, societal growth, and indigenous communities.  
California Gold Rush Camps: A Keepsake in Fourteen Parts published in 1998 by The Book Club of California documents the lives of miners and the camps that shaped California in the latter half of the 1800s. The keepsake contains fourteen folders, each highlighting the history of a camp that played a notable role in the gold rush. The text is accompanied by color illustrations from Life Among the Miners published by Hutchings & Rosenfield in 1854, sketches published in local magazines and newspapers, lithographs, and a daguerreotype. The series was edited by Robert J. Chandler and designed and printed by Patrick Reagh Printers, Inc. 
In alignment with their commitment to sharing California history, The Book Club of California presented portions of this publication at the 1998 Western History Association annual meeting. California Gold Rush Camps: A Keepsake in Fourteen Parts is part of an extensive collection of The Book Club of California materials held within Special Collections. This book is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.
