The Resurrection by Daniel Mitsui. He is Risen!
Black text on white background “Happy Easter, New York! Today, millions of New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and faith over fear. As the air warms and cherry blossoms begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time to pause and reflect on a season of rebirth. Whether you spend this day singing in pews, parading on Fifth Avenue, joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian Rara music, or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass, I wish every New Yorker celebrating a joyous day. Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the City — and the world — that we deserve.”

“And now you will have a nice garden too,” said Frog.
“Yes,” said Toad, “but you were right, Frog. It was very hard work.”

Painting outside is always a bit intimidating but I'm glad I went for it, just sat down on the roadside in between narcissus and go!

It’s 2003. The Pope is strongly condemning a war in the Middle East and American Catholics are shrugging

photo showing the rescuers saving the dog, next to the statue commemorating them
closeup on the base of the statue, showing a dog and a man in a ball cap
the top of the statue, where the person at the top of the slope has his hand outstretched so the viewer can "help" pull him up
in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing
me, hearing some odd conversation and turning around: what are you guys talking about
three middle school boys who holding their hands a sizeable distance apart:.....the size of our...phones.
me, pausing and squinting: find something else to talk about
me: you can't beat up other people's artwork
kid: i wasn't!
me: okay then what were you punching
kid:.......the air
me: okay. first, violence isn't the answer, there's no need to be beating anything up. second your form is sloppy
older girl, somewhat whining: i can't doooo this im gonna diiie
me: okay and ill wave to ur body as i drive by it. you got this.

Swalwell: "I want to knock out this argument we even need ICE doing what they're doing in the first place. If they are so easily moved from our streets, where they are terrorizing people, to passing out bottles of water in the airport, did we really need them terrorizing people in the first place?"
