A bit of humor for you to brighten your day.

Must be nice to think you are a mob boss… or maybe EF Hutton? Methinks the old dude in the White House is a bit daft in the head…

It’s the purple bird of happiness now. I have a lot of glass blue birds but this is first purple one I’ve ever seen. My friend Sandra Martz began a purple craze with papier-mâché Press. It’s always been a favorite color. Turquoise is also a favorite. #birds

Happy writing day to me!

My mentor did a portfolio of sketches titled “Scenes along the Arno” or something like that. Will have to dig it out and see what’s in there. Not exactly my thing for sure as was just too many sketches.

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

I suggest Congress stop being scared of Trump and start being scared of the American people..: Because we are DONE.

Dear #GOP #historymatters

Roosevelt was so successful because he had the smartest and strongest women working for him to implement change…

On this day in 1880, Frances Perkins was born. As FDR’s Secretary of Labor, she played a vital role in the enactment of Social Security & the minimum wage. Through it all, she kept a file labeled “Notes on the Male Mind,” with strategies for dealing with sexism. #WeTheMen www.npr.org/2009/04/16/1...

Think even Elon is smart enough to figure out the #GOP will not be the party in power much longer…think all of a sudden the tech empire will be openly leaning toward the democratic leaders…cannot imagine why but that is my gut feeling at the moment… :-) greed is going to be the death of all of us.

Yeah! Analog more and more…

An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public. (Published Aug. 2025)

My Mom was mostly Irish and haints were a thing…there’s something eerily ghostly about wisps of fog amongst the trees…

Does she understand the ramifications of lying if you are called to testify under oath? She has to be getting ready to leave on a jet plane or something?

Kitten in the Sun, Thure Wallner (1888-1965).

Good morning 😃

A harebrained psychopath has control of the nuclear codes. It has to stop. Our country, our democracy, can't take another 33 months of what we've gone through over the last 15. We must stop it. Join the fight here: 👉 georgeconwayforcongress.com

Composer & pianist Florence Price (b. #OTD in 1887) made history as the first Black woman to have a symphony performed by a major US orchestra. Her Symphony No. 1 was premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1933. #musicsky Much of her music was forgotten after she died in 1953 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 👇 1/2

Our #Republican Party is composed of the most immoral, vile, disgusting bunch of impotent old fools ever assembled in a free world. You could not find one shred of manhood or valor or morality in the whole cabal. Eunuchs have more balls that the lot of them! #GOP (Use the other word for cats)

George Marinko (American 1908 – 1989). Early Spring (1940, oil on canvas).

I relate… #artmatters

This, sadly, is what they are counting on…

And they are planting millions of trees and have small energy efficient cars and their kids are only allowed like a half an hour of computer time. USA is so third world now… #maga duped poor old white people who didn’t realize we were pretty great the whole time once upon a time not far away

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain Massachusetts' unredacted voter file. A victory for our clients the New England NAACP and the MA Alliance for Retired Americans and the Commonwealth. My firm is now 4-0 in these cases against DOJ. www.democracydocket.com/cases/massac...

Someone should read this into the congressional record.

April 9, 1898 - Ida Wells-Barnett, a journalist, speaker and advocate for suffrage, wrote to President William McKinley requesting federal action against those who lynched the U.S. Postmaster of Lake City, South Carolina. #IdaWellsBarnett 1/3

Cat in the Summer Meadow, Bruno Liljefors (1860-1939).

Hello United States Congress and all the ships at sea…. Is anyone home and is anyone going to use constitutional measures to reign this guy and his cronies in? #americaisback? As backed into a corner by a lunatic holding the nuclear codes? #mayday #mayday

A government killing its citizens in broad daylight who have committed no crime…that reminds me of some diabolical leader in a country somewhere across a big pond…

To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎

This was The Beatles’ final public performance — their legendary rooftop concert on January 30, 1969.The show wasn’t publicly announced, so it took everyone by complete surprise. Crowds quickly gathered on the streets and nearby rooftops as the Fab Four rocked Savile Row

Sold the chair with the stove and green panel this week. The third photo is not one of mine but came up in a collage. The VanGogh type chair was in my garden for a few years. I loved that chair!

This popped up from two years ago. Probably because I spoke about #AnnieJumpCannon today. And we mentioned her naming-the-stars-system still being used and how amazed she would be with the photography from space today. #DoverDelaware #girldonegood We love our most famous Dover woman! #glassuniverse

You’re welcome. youtu.be/C_CDLBTJD4M

aw…i never knew Sandra Martz shared this. I’m writing about her & was trying to find some older pieces of hers from old days. She wrote on couple of blog sites or something at one point. I should have been born organized! Last time i saw her was Hollister I think. www.facebook.com/share/1B1xBw...

Love #print #newspapers. Old clippings are so fun to find. If you find yourself in Dover #Delaware #BiggsMuseum has a wonderful collection put together by true patron of the arts.This article got picked up by Washington Post which I thought was fun as Jack & I went to National Gallery many times.

Speaking powerful truth to power…

Found an old photo of an upper window when a vine had climbed on side of house. Pretty cool. #shadows #silhouette #artistlife

Sad…

Maybe I’d feel more awe if our prez hadn’t just pulled back from going nuclear & blowing up an entire people on a sliver of that blue marble we call home! We’re not normal… we humans need to go back to drawing board… that “selfie” shot—we’re on this blue marble spending billion dollars a day on war

And our president was plotting to destroy our planet…if Musk and Bezos were not lurking in the shadows ready to capitalize on all this, it might hold more allure. Exporting man to another world for gain at our current world’s expense does not compute. Brave new world or abandoning a sinking ship?

This is the famous painting Red Balloon (German: Roter Ballon), created in 1922 by the Swiss-German artist Paul Klee.
