A @pastpostcard.bsky.social! Bumble Bee Seafoods in Astoria, Oregon, USA. Postcards are windows to #history which in this case includes leveraged buyouts, bankruptcy, price fixing, forced labor…see @wikipedia.org & the corporate website for more thebumblebeecompany.com “For the Love of $eafood”!
This is a postcard with an image from a Bumble Bee Seafoods plant in Astoria, Oregon, USA. Workers wearing hair coverings & aprons are standing along a processing line. Tins of salmon are described as being “hand-packed” by these workers. The caption for the postcard explains that “highly skilled workers with years of experience hand pack Bumble Bee salmon. Emphasis is on unsurpassed quality, and hand packing of salmon is an important step in assuring the ultimate in uniform quality”. There is no date on this postcard.

I just zoomed in on this photo from the @nytimes.com.
This is a very close-up view of the current wife of the current president of the United States, featuring a wide smile & teeth that don’t look original but do look…invested in. Would that everyone’s oral health were so good.

I love to see it, hope you do, too. Aging is the one thing we allll have in common is—which is really a beautiful thing. See oldschool.info & @thischairrocks.bsky.social for resources & inspiration. #HealthierFutures 🍃

Let’s end ageism everywhere, across the lifespan. (You might skip MIZ, tho 🤭)
This is a display ad on an MTA subway in New York City. It includes the message that ageism — discrimination & bias against someone due to their age — is corrosive & unhealthy. The ad invites us all to call it out & end it.

Are there individuals who like all the tea(s) and coffee(s)? I am not one of them. But this one from Bird & Blend is delicious. And I don’t particularly like herbal teas. ☕️ 🫖
This image shows a box of tea from Bird & Blend Tea Co. This particular tea is an herbal tea, so it’s caffeine-free. The company is also a certified B Corp.

I’ve just found @cloudappsoc.bsky.
This image depicts the sky with cloud cover and rats of sun coming through nicely. There are fields in the foreground. It was taken from a moving train in England in November 2024.

wtf, @nytimes.com, which is highlighting the 50 best movies on @netflix.com rn using this image from PSYCHO in the wrong aspect ratio ‼️
A screenshot from the NYTimes digital subscription that depicts an image from the masterpiece that is PSYCHO (1960) but the image is in the wrong aspect ratio.

Inadvertently activated this advertiser on The NY Times & I’m so sorry I did b/c now I keep getting more of these photos in which a person is a) trapped under a heavy bag or b) trying to get to the toilet to be sick 🤢. Either way, it makes me worry.
This is an ad for a designer in which a person wearing a black garment or 5 seems to have fallen ill or collapsed under the weight of the handbag they’re carrying.

Strikes me as very Triangle of Sadness, this ad for Belmond, about which I do not wish to discover more.
Posh looking woman wearing a swim suit and dark sunglasses lies on an inflatable float in a swimming pool, while balancing plates of food on her pubis and in a hand, reaches out to a hand that belongs to whom?

And in Gig Harbor, scenes of foreign flags and huh no tumult.

#NoKings #YesImmigrants
Two individuals walking past a vast span of grass that is in front of a house that’s displaying the flag of Croatia because immigrants from there made this place in western Washington what it was and is and will be. A house that’s displaying a garland of the Croatian flag because immigrants from that country made this place in western Washington what it was and is and will be. There is no crowd of violence in this or the accompanying photo.

This brilliant structure exists in King County, WA, US of A. It offers shelter from rain & snow, creates respite in form of #shade when the sun is intense, & allows for outdoor #PhysicalActivity, too. More of these in the #PublicRealm!

#trees #parks #heat 🌳 ⛅️ 💃🏻

kingcountyparks.org/2013/03/20/g...
A pavilion of sorts, with a peaked rook and simply an overhead shelter from heat/sun, rain, snow. No walls, made of trees (lumber) local to the site, which is Vashon Island in King County in Washington the state not D. C. Picnic tables are kept to the side so that other users — such as those doing physical activity movement — can enjoy the shelter. There should be more of these in more places.

Say, @nytwirecutter.bsky.social ? It’d be cool if #renters — some of whom might actually be subscribers—were part of your scene.
From the New York Times, Wirecutter section, a subheading that cites “homeowners” because I guess renters don’t rate.

Same, until I take her photograph, that is.
Here, a very fluffy cat lies dozing on a not-small red suitcase This depicts the very fluffy cat lying on a not-small red suitcase next to a pair of slippers, size 46. This is not a small cat.

Here’s the NYTimes’ “extremely detailed” map of the 2024 election. #Spokane
This image is from the New York Times’ 2024 elec results map. The location is Spokane, Washington and surrounding areas including western Idaho. The blue around Spokane reflects votes cast for the Harris | Walz ticket. The red reflects votes cast for the fascistic men presently serving as president and vice president.

Text from a vile Goebbels-worthy message posted in Seattle (outside a school to boot) that expresses hopes for violence against the children of #voters who cast a ballot for @kamalaharris.com.

Don’t get sucked into the cult of utterly warped farrr left folk who have these messages.

#HarrisWalz
Depicts a typed message on a small poster addressed to “everyone who voted for Kamala Harris” & goes on to express hopes for violence against children, referring to such voters as “sick fascist monsters.”

A birch tree that isn’t very tall but whose canopy spreads out overhead like a shade-giving umbrella.
