Low tide beach at dusk with rippled wet sand in the foreground reflecting blue and gold light. A long wooden pier stretches across the horizon with small lights glowing along its length. Waves break beneath the pier, and a few distant surfers appear as silhouettes near the right side of the frame under a sky that shifts from deep blue to warm yellow.

A 19th-century sculptor of Black and Indigenous ancestry was acclaimed, then overlooked. But a groundswell of scholars and artists are keeping her flame alive in new projects.

The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo is a large white cockatoo. It has a dark grey-black bill, a distinctive sulphur-yellow crest and a yellow wash on the underside of the wings. Sexes are similar, although the female can be separated at close range by its red-brown eye (darker brown in the male). This is a noisy and conspicuous cockatoo, both at rest and in flight. Young Sulphur-crested Cockatoos resemble the adults. This Cockatoo sits on a clotheslines with a background of green leaves, olive green fence, and brickwork. This fella paid a visit after I had just been told that my young nephew had died from a brain tumour he tried to hold off for 3 years. His friends called him 'whitey'. This Cockatoo had never visited before, and never did again. This is the second time an unusual visit from a bird occurred after the death of someone close. He hung around for half an hour. I still believe Joel came to say goodbye.

Book cover for The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist

I finished The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist. At work, I have a new Electoral Board member and she and I were talking about her roles and what is appropriate from a political pov. We also discussed books since we both

The Half Has Never Been Told

when people point back at Reconstruction to explain where we are as a country (a good impulse) its often to claim that Reconstruction completely failed

I'd say it's more like: Reconstruction was partial and compromised, which kept the Civil War going as a domestic political battle vs a won war

We know who enabled DJT and all the destruction that he has wrought - Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham and all the rest. I won’t forget the dishonor, selfish, unconstitutional and unpatriotic disregard for the U.S. Constitution and Rule of Law. The GOP installed a convicted felon and here we are. SAD

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Happy Monday

Happy Monday! It's a new week! We had a pretty sunrise with some nice cloud accents, but they all disappeared on the right 40% of the frame so the OCD in me is a little disjointed. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

We already had a nuclear deal in place negotiated by Barack Obama. After ripping up that deal Donald Trump could not accomplish what Obama could and negotiate a nee one. Instead he’s launched an illegal war without the authorization of Congress. Americans don’t want this, Congress must act.

Good evening from Rudy and me. We hope you had a most excellent day, and do have another, tomorrow

a border collie with a slightly puzzled look on his face

I think one of the most difficult things about being a A Border Collie is having to come to terms everyday with how much smarter you are than your owner.

Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson (1889–1946). Paths of Glory (1917, oil on canvas).

The current U.S. Congress has let down everyone who built the USA & who fought and died for our Republic. They are supposed to check and balance the Executive Branch. Their capitulation and abdication of duty is dishonorable and unconstitutional. And yet under a GOP Congress DJT rules on his whims!
