Officers and Sergeants of the St. Hadrian Civic Guard by Frans Hals, 1633, Frans Hals Museum (Haarlem, Netherlands)

#ArtHistory #Baroque #DutchGoldenAge

This group portrait depicts the officers and sergeants of the St. Hadrian civic guard, a militia company in Haarlem. Unlike more formal and static group portraits the time, Hals captures a sense of dynamic movement and individual character. The men are shown in various poses, some conversing, others adjusting their weapons or clothing, creating a lively and engaging scene. The painting is notable for its loose brushwork and realistic depiction of light and shadow, which contribute to its vibrant and energetic quality. It's not a depiction of a specific event, but rather a representation of the company's readiness and collective identity.

Hals was a leading figure of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of great prosperity and artistic achievement in the Netherlands during the 17th century. He was a master of portraiture, known for his ability to capture the personality and vitality of his subjects. This painting exemplifies the Dutch Baroque style, characterized by realism, dramatic lighting, and a focus on everyday life. It stands apart from the more idealized portraits common in other European courts, reflecting the Dutch Republic's emphasis on civic duty and republican values.

Greetings from Kyiv,
where the night was calm,
the morning brought a few drones,
and my warcoffee is strong.

I’ve finished writing Sunday Letter

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

Read. Read banned books. Read diverse books. Read outside your preferred genres. Visit the Library. Buy books from their Friends of the Library book sales. Build up your personal library. Start a little free library or simply share with friends and neighbors. Read books, annoy fascists.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

‘I think a lot of people are pretending they don’t feel it because it’s easier than admitting they do. It hurts too much to look straight at the cruelty and know you can’t stop it. So, they scroll. They joke. They say nothing. But I think it’s there, under the noise, under the anger, that ache’

Light shining through dew drops on a fennel blossom.

#EastCoastKin #Macro

A closeup of dew drops on a fennel blossom stalk. It is not in focus, so the drops appear as large, glowing, somewhat translucent dots ranging from gold to almost white. They vary in size. At the bottom of the image there is a blossom with dew that is a little bit more in focus, and it looks like a cluster of gold jewels.

At this round table they said that AntiFa has been a problem since the Weimar republic.

Q: Who was AntiFa's enemy at the time?
A: The Nazis.

At Trump's round table, the participants are openly identifying with the Nazis. Get it America????
