Exquisite 💚

Fine-boned fractals,
curled like brittle feathers
from a frozen loom,
wait for a breath of warmth
to unmake the winter’s bloom.

It me!

I'm sure you're right.

This black-and-white portrait captures Maggie Kuhn (1905–1995), the indomitable founder of the Gray Panthers, an activist group that revolutionized the fight against ageism. Seated in a relaxed yet attentive pose, Kuhn is seen in her later years, radiating a sense of sharp-witted wisdom and gentle defiance. She is dressed in a dark, structured, button-down jacket with a small round collar, featuring a prominent circular political button pinned to her left chest—a hallmark of her lifelong commitment to grassroots organizing. Her silver hair is elegantly swept back, and she wears thin-framed glasses that highlight her keen, observant eyes and a slight, knowing smile. Her hands, weathered by time and adorned with simple rings, rest naturally in her lap, one draped over the arm of what appears to be a patterned chair. The background is softly out of focus, showing a glimpse of indoor foliage and a textured wall, suggesting a television studio or public forum setting where she frequently challenged societal norms. The composition is a medium shot that focuses on her presence as a formidable public figure. The mood is one of dignified strength and intellectual vitality, serving as a powerful visual testament to her legacy as a champion for intergenerational justice and the rights of the elderly.

Maggie Kuhn was forced to retire at 65 & dedicated the rest of her life to fighting ageism & advocating for older adults' rights. Founded Gray Panthers, 1970. Was instrumental in the ban on mandatory retirement.

Active until her death #OTD in 1995 at 89.

— a once in a lifetime shot..

And I would still do everything humanly possible to keep that from happening to her even knowing she voted that stupid.

The OP is right. Something broke in the female collective.

We fought for equality and never got it. We fought for rights and are losing ground. Women’s healthcare is a fucking joke and basic safety is a fucking myth.

show me where
the wind whispers to you
let me listen
through your ears
to the sweep and sway
of your song
show me the places
inside, outside
matters all around you
show me where time
has left their marks

The ghosts of my dead friends
Appear to me in dreams
But it's hard to be reminded
And it's more than I can take
So I stay awake for days
In hopes I won't be haunted
By the empty space inside of me
That never goes away

Went on a walk and saw this cool ass graffiti. It’s done in sections and can only be seen completely when standing just so. Also, look at the halberd the tiger is holding by his tail!

Yesterday we enjoyed fabulous views of Orcas as they cruised from Burra south and then east to Sumburgh, Shetland. We identified them as four members of the '140s' pod - one of the least known and recorded pods in Shetland waters. 🖤🤍

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History.

Did I mention that the new neighbor closest in age to me turned out to be MAGA? She's a naturalized citizen who married an American (who died) & has an adult son in USMC. I pointed out they were taking family from Parris Island graduation ceremonies for deportation. She hasn't spoken to me since.

You Soup Fork

😂😂😂😂

Oh, and true the other stuff!!!!

Soup fork… stealing THAT!

A Republican appointed Virginia judge has struck down the Democratic backed redistricting amendment in full, ruling it unconstitutional and "void from the start."

All votes from yesterday's special election are now invalid.

The state is permanently blocked from using or implementing the new maps!

A general strike is pure working-class power. It turns everyday people into the ultimate check on greed. No violence needed — just millions choosing not to show up. That’s democracy with teeth and real hope for tomorrow. ✊ #MayDay2026

Some of the testimony/comments were very moving. I teared up a number of times.

*Please note the meeting did not JUST talk about the Caswell 25, it's not 5 hours of one topic, but it was the majority of comments.
