Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Probably the only mural ever painted by Frida Kahlo, as seen on the kitchen walls of her family's red house, c. 1938. "El mesón de los gorriones" (Sparrow's Inn). The home is now Museo Casa Kahlo.

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

I had to add the fig leaf to get this image posted; otherwise, it was considered adult content.

Echo and Narcissus by John William Waterhouse, 1903, is the story of a man in love with himself and where the woman infatuated with him can repeat only the last three words he says. Oddly, that's what is happening today in America with all those women who drank the Kool-Aid.

In Gaza, a small child shown in starvation, the body shrunk to nothing with sticks for arms (photo credit New Yorker Magazine), compared to a similar story in a WWII concentration camp, a starving Jewish boy with sticks for arms and legs. All bone, no flesh.

back from vacation (a week ago) and about to make it everyone’s problem

My grandmother gave birth to twin baby girls in the internment camps and they died. Horrible living conditions. Desert winds and dust. Toilets with no doors. Constant fear of being starved to death. She hoarded bread. Moldy bread.

An illustration of a young girl in silhouette with a ponytail, standing against a fiery orange and red background. Over her figure is a handwritten quote in white text that reads: “The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated.” – Tolstoy. The intense backdrop and the child's silhouette create a haunting, powerful visual emphasizing the quote's message about the dangers of complacency toward evil.
