I saw this strip in a book as a kid, but not until coming across it again today did I understand the context of what we now celebrate as Mid-Century Modern Design but what in 1953, when this first appeared in newspapers, was simply called modern or contemporary furniture or, perhaps, just furniture.

A long exposure of a wave breaking, caught mid-break. The water is greenish, and there are areas of white in the middle of the wave and at the top. Below the water is white and grey streaky, and above is more white spray and some grey ocean behind.

Another wave photo - can't get enough of them.

I remember this one well as when I posted it on Twitter a few years ago it was retweeted by Janey Godley & it got over 2k likes (only time that's ever happened!). So thank you Janey (& for the wonderful poster you held up) πŸ₯°

the thing is that β€œkeep posting, post everything, ignore the people from the community you claim to be defending who are telling you that your post does more harm than good” only feels like an important argument to make if posting about it is the only thing you ever intend to do for that community

I suppose I should make a first post. I was finally able to deactivate my account over at the nazi bar site, even though I never used it much anyway. But now I'm here and hoping I can find some of the folks I used to follow!
