Central Pacific No. 60 Locomotive

The Jupiter was a 4-4-0 steam locomotive owned by the Central Pacific Railroad. It made history when it joined the Union Pacific No. 119 at Promontory Summit, Utah, during the Golden Spike ceremony commemorating the completion of the First transcontinental railroad in 1869.

On Highway 191 in eastern Utah is a 5,000 square foot fully equipped 1940s home. Above: Today and in the 1950s.

Albert and Gladys Christensen built “Hole N’ The Rock” in Moab, Utah, over the course of more than 20 years, with Mr. Christensen chipping away at some 50,000 cubic feet of sandstone.

It began as a small alcove for their 2 boys to sleep in.

And, it grew into a man-made living marvel.

Al carved out 14 rooms arranged around large pillars.

He even carved a tub out of rock.

Along with Al’s collection of taxidermy and his paintings, there’s also a collection of creepy dolls.

Here’s Gladys sitting in her kitchen.

Al even built a luncheonette counter and souvenir stand for tourists.

He added this sculpture in the rock.

Even some humor.

Look at this Jeep made of scrap.

And, this 2 story outhouse.

It’s still open and you can visit. They’ve added a zoo, a trading post, a general store, s museum, and a collection of metal art.

Look at how massive it is. Looks like someone starting boring in the rock on the upper level too.

Full article here. Please give it a click to support this kind of journalism! (I snipped out the highlights for a shorter read)

The state of Utah in the United States has no citizenship requirements for marriage licenses, and Utah County is the only place there that allows international couples to register their marriages online. Since the county rolled out virtual weddings during the Covid-19 pandemic, it became a wedding haven for same-sex couples who are not able to officially marry in their own countries.

As sexual minorities in China face suppression at home, Utah County is allowing them to officially marry and celebrate their love — all for around $100. Although the marriages aren’t recognized in China, some 200 same-sex couples from mainland China and Hong Kong have gotten married via the county’s digital marriage license system since 2021.

For authorities in Utah County, the influx of international couples came as a surprise. The Utah County and Auditor’s Office moved its marriage licensing service online, as part of a digitization initiative in 2019. At the start of the pandemic, a number of couples requested Zoom ceremonies, and the county made those available as well.

The service first attracted couples in Utah, followed by people from across the U.S., and later, from all over the world. From May 1 to September 20 this year, at least 77 same-sex couples with mainland Chinese addresses have been married there, said county deputy clerk Russ Rampton, who oversees marriage licensing, to Rest of World.

Although same-sex marriage remains illegal in Hong Kong, under a different set of laws to mainland China, residents who get married in other places are able to apply for dependent visas in the city for their partners. Married gay people are also able to mark themselves as married in tax filings.

In his vow, however, [one marriage certificate applicant] Zhu said he was looking forward to getting married a second time — in China. “If one day our country allows this, I hope we could get married again in this country,” Zhu said to his husband before they kissed.

**

Marriage equality does not stop in the West.

#lgbtq #queer #marriage equality #gay rights #lgbtq rights #utah #china #hong kong #international marriage equality #i'm not an emotional person but i saw this and almost started crying #this is so heartwarming but heartbreaking at the same time #and from utah of all places #God truly loves the gays after all huh

I like the white pharoah mormon memes because it's making people aware that utah must be destroyed.

I need people to know the mormons run a fucking human zoo as a tourist attraction in hawai'i, they run a fucking pasifika human zoo.

they call it "Polynesian cultural center" and say that it was made to preserve pasifika culture— which is ironic given the fact that these fucking worms are part of the reason we've lost so much of our own cultures over the last couple centuries—but in practice all it ends up being is a place where islanders dance for a bunch of tourists like they're Disney mascots.

what is also frustrating is the fact that the performers are for the most part mormons and also just straight up don't seem to see what's wrong with any of it, even doing soft power type shit on behalf of the the mormon church, it sucks!

#fuck the lds fuck utah & especially fuck the polynesian cultural centre #missouri did not act harshly and quickly enough
