Bluesky labeled me SPAM claiming excessively frequent & irrelevant things like posting & following. I follow users with compatible interests to share, learn & have civil, intelligent conversations on very relevant topics & 25,000 follow me. I don't understand. It seems like character assassination.

This painting of mine from 2017 shows graduation day at the #Cambridge Senate House. It's an oil on gessoed board and was shown at a Cambridge Drawing Soc exhibition. Still have it. Perhaps bsky.app/profile/cam.... would like it? It would look quite good in one of the rooms in the Old Schools

Americans are VERY 'neighborly' in contrast to many of the 35 countries I have visited in NON-touristic ways. I love exploring other cultures, but it's what I miss most abroad. Recent immigrants AND modern tech have temporarily contributed to such decreases.

Homan's message: When we kill you, you have to be especially nice to us. Or else we will keep killing you.
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."
