A blue-tinted monochrome photograph. Parts of the Scottish Parliament complex can be seen through panes of glass that form the top part of a wall. A long concrete structure intersects with the glass, casting diagonal shadows on the wall. The sky is cloudless.

A monochrome photograph showing two teenage boys walking along a pavement past a fenced-off piece of derelict land. Beyond the land is the gable end of a tenement, the lower part of which is covered in graffiti. On the other side of the street from these tenements is another row of tenements.

— Fix The Shadows —
Photo and words by Yves

“The Weight of a Smile” — beneath the painted joy, a quiet storm brews.
An exploration of the masks we wear, the laughter we force, and the pain that lingers beneath.
#Art #Expressionism #blueskyart

The Weight of a Smile portrays a young clown holding a crude paper smile over his solemn expression. The white makeup and exaggerated features, symbols of humor and innocence, clash against the exhaustion in his eyes. The muted lighting and soft textures evoke a haunting sense of melancholy — a reminder that behind many smiles lies a struggle unseen. The piece speaks to the fragility of joy, the act of performance in everyday life, and the universal ache of pretending to be okay.

This is my best friend and emotional support cat, Ella, who takes her job very seriously. Part of my doctor's treatment plan for me is more time outside, and Ella helps by insisting on a daily walk.

Had already packed up my camera and tripod when this bird flew in. Quick setup in the failing light to capture this image.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

You actually don’t have to hand it to Donald Trump. You don’t have to give him credit for anything. He’s a horrible human being who has never known a day of suffering in his life. Nor does he care an ounce about the suffering of anybody else. Hope that helps.

Donald Trump is literally selling watches. Now. During the government shut-down. He's personally in the commercials hawking them.

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.
