Natalie Portman was considered for the role of Katey, and Ricky Martin was considered for the role of Javier. They were both the first choices.
The first from my mom's archives.
This was taken in 1958 on a WV chicken farm. Minnie's fave treat was scrambled eggs directly from the farm.
Despite the b&w, i'm told she was an orange fluff

Waymo privatized another public street:

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Ana Mendieta should be a mere 77 years old today.

The Cuban American feminist artist was likely murdered by her husband at 36, in 1985.

May her memory and work be for a revolution. ❤️‍🔥

Trump’s comments are vile. I am just as angry at the media outlets that bothsided Jamal’s murder, wrote puff pieces for MBS (Atlantic).

And, the Washington Post opinion page that dismantled the platform that Jamal wrote for, ended the fellowship in his name, and purged its human rights writers.

Ravi Coutinho needed mental health and addiction care. Getting it through his insurance network was nearly impossible. He texted his friends:
