You never know what you’ll find on your journey. Explore your backyard, around the corner or the wide wide world. Open a book, write a story or snap a photo. And then share your adventures, you might brighten up someone’s day or let them see how much we all have in common. It’s all about Love!

B/w photograph of Mary Seacole. Her hair is braided and she is wearing an attire with a lace collar and a string of pearls. She is staring directly at the viewer with a strong and kind expression. Seacole's Times Obituary

May 21, 1881: The trustees of the fund established some time since in behalf of Mrs Mary Seacole wish it to be known that she died on the 14th inst. 
The deceased, it will be remembered, greatly distinguished herself as a nurse on the battlefield and in hospitals during the Crimean war. A Creole, she was born in Jamaica early in the present century, and from childhood was instructed by her mother in the art of nursing. In 1855, after it had been announced that no more nurses were required in the Crimea, she established a mess-table and comfortable quarters for sick and convalescent officers at Balaclava, landing there in the month of February. She was present at many battle, and at the risk of her life often carried the wounded off the field. Before Sebastopol she was a patient nurse among those stricken with cholera, and when she returned to England after the peace she was ruined in fortune and injured in health. 
The fund already referred to was then started, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke of Cambridge being patrons. In 1857 she published an autobiography, entitled “Wonderful Adventures in Many Lands,” the preface being written by Dr W. H. Russell. 
“I have witnessed,” he writes, “her devotion and her courage; and I trust England will not torget one who nursed her sick, who sought out her wounded to aid and succour them, and who performed the last offices of her illustrious dead.” 
The sum raised for Mrs Seacole enabled her to end her days in comfortable ease. Strange to say, she has bequeathed all her property to persons of title.

Medical practitioner who used her sophisticated knowledge of pharmacology to nurse those wounded in the Crimean war.

Author of the first autobiography by a woman of African descent in Britain.

Bingo. This is just another example of voter suppression. They’re trying to also make sure the No Kings protests in 2 weeks aren’t well-attended and they can pretend they aren’t as bad as ppl are correctly saying they are.

FCC chair threatens broadcasters over Iran war coverage FCC Chair Brendan Carr said news broadcasters coverage of Iran war could impact their license renewal.

By threatening to deny the license of any broadcast news company that does not tow the Trump line, Carr is publicly announcing that the goal of the Trump Administration is to rip up the Constitution to install an authoritarian government.
