Two photos taken from Downtown L.A.

They're from the L.A. Herald Examiner in 1951 and 1952. One from the Herald's roof, the other, I don't know, west of Downtown, maybe?

Not particularly remarkable. Kind of boring, really. Unless you know what they are.

They're nukes.

As another heavily marketed family holiday looms in the US, I want you to remember:

Not all blood relatives are worthy of your time

Sometimes the best way to celebrate a holiday is to ignore it completely

You have a right to your boundaries & it’s not a celebration if it feels obligatory

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

If you're an author being published by small and tiny presses, please shamelessly promote your work, however much your temperament might militate against it. I've seen many wonderful authors at this level so quickly forgotten when they die, you deserve all the readers you can get while you're alive.

For some inane reason, our small town has decided tonight’s candlelight festival on the Square must be capped off with a full 20 minutes of non-stop fireworks 😖

Given the current political climate in the US, I’m surprised there aren’t cries for a White Saturday

For all the ghost shows I’ve been on and for all the hauntings I’ve experienced & assessed – the genuine ones are never Annabelle level ridiculous. They’re mostly domestic and sweet.

Case in point:
My house is haunted, but it’s mostly just confusing, like..it’s never really scared me - just made me second-guess my ADHD meds. According to our neighbors, our place was once owned by an elderly Italian couple who spoke little English.
do you believe in ghosts or are you like me, a person who finds themself saying all the time “I absolutely don’t believe in ghosts, but this place has ghosts.”
