Happy Wednesday! We're halfway through the week! We had some low clouds that provided just enough visual interest as his sun broke through the horizon line this morning. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

PRO TIP: If you're going to lash out at reporters for questioning your stamina, don't fall asleep mid-rant.

This is Coe Fen in Cambridge, a watercolour drawing from 1998. The tower in the middle distance is the Pitt Building and the other tower is the United Reform Church. This was done on the spot with watercolour and Indian ink.

We may get tired in this fight for democracy. But as @mlipsitt.bsky.social reminds us, it's for the children.

Thank you, Marcie.

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Racist whites are angry at having to give up their DEI “rights.” It’s been them all along. Injustice makes us stronger and them weaker. Makes us work harder and them grow lazier. We are seeing the death throes of white nationalism and it is ugly, but it is dying. We will all be better when it’s gone

Scott Jennings is a a sell out for cash. That's all. I refuse to watch CNN because of this bullshit.
Well said. Scott Jennings has become an insufferable, smug , condescending prick. He had been somewhat bearable in the early days, but now offers nothing but lies, & undeserved praise to that orange, sleepy walrus.

Keep in mind, all 104 competitors were US Army Rangers. Only 32 completed the challenge. It was THAT tough. Lt. Gabrielle White was one of the 32 who finished the competition.

Well, it’s trump that turned ours into a shithole country. It’s him & his enablers who are really destroying our country. How about reading our constitution.
