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.”

Toad mops his sweaty face with his handkerchief. From "The Garden" In *Frog and Toad Together*

“And now you will have a nice garden too,” said Frog.

“Yes,” said Toad, “but you were right, Frog. It was very hard work.”

Lasagna plated. There’s salad and bread too. Help yourself

Joining in for the first day of #pleinairapril by @warriorpainters.bsky.social

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 1991. The Pope is strongly condemning a war in the Middle East and American Catholics are shrugging because obviously he doesn’t know what he’s talking about

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

It’s 2026. The Pope…

peaceful moments

That’s one hell of a cover…..

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.

(she could in fact learn the skill and did really well with some practice)

one of the older kids keeps responding to everything with bueno. he does not speak spanish.

teaching is so funny cause wdym kids are just muttering bombastic side eye to themselves as they work on projects

man with long blonde hair tied in a bun, wearing striped shirt, has arm around shoulder of smiling woman in all black and a red sweater. womans hand in on the mans chest, the mans free hand holds a broom. they stand in an empty room

a single vacuum cleaner in a corner of a room with a concrete floor

Black metal spiral staircase nexr to two black steels beams and a chalkboard. its a school turned into an apartment

couple from the first picture kissing softly. the mans hand is on the womans back, her hands on his jaw

we are officially fully moved into our new home and moved out of the old. feels surreal. bit emotional :')

If you're reading this, I believe in you, I love you, and it's going to be ok.

"No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War."

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?"
