K-5 Public School education.
I sure do prefer Richard Scarry
Google poster hung in a K-5 public school reading “when would I ever use Digital Tools in real life?” Chefs, Cosmetologists, constructions workers and carpenters, Retail Associates, Housekeepers, etc, are given as examples of careers using Google-Brand products like Youtube, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Photos, etc. For example, Electricians use Youtube to learn new techniques

No Kings signs from MA
No Kings sign in red, white, and blue colors reading: “You’re not the law You’re the reason we have it” The word “Loser!” appears on a birthday balloon alongside a printed image of a WWII political cartoon. The cartoon depicts Hitler as a toddler throwing a tantrum over a birthday present. No Kings sign in bright colors reading: “No Big Dangerous Bill”. The accompanying image is of a crossed out crown.

This doesn’t make me feel better. Stand for the people. Fight Citizens United.

It’s CatGPT these days, thank you very much.
The evolution of Garfield. The top image in color depicts “Garfield Before & After” in 1978, 1978 (first brush drawing), 1979, and 1982. The bottom shows a spoof of futuristic “Garfields Yet to Come!” imagined for 1986, 1996, 2063, and 2121. The 2121 image is the same as 1978 and shows Garfield thinking “Here we go again”.

Sun rising in the East, an arctic wind blew snow only on the northern side of the trees.

🌎 I know where I stand.
A snowy landscape of bare trees and brush casting long winter shadows and the sun in the sky.

Happy winter solstice, especially to all those between worlds, shedding or reclaiming their skins.

Art by Stephen Lewontin for Midwinter Revels: The Selkie Girl and the Seal Woman.
Painting of a Selkie — half woman, half seal — looking out from behind a rock formation toward a village on land. Her flippers are submerged in water where other sea creatures appear below the waves, while her upper half wears her seal skin as a garment she holds in place at the shoulder with a human hand. She has light skin and dark hair of gray and purple. Nearby, a seal peaks its head above water between her and the land. The village has a steeple and a full moon above. It is night.
