In addition to writing and activism, Mitford tried her hand at music as singer for "Decca and the Dectones", a cowbell and kazoo orchestra. She performed at numerous benefits and opened for Cyndi Lauper on the roof of the Virgin Records store in San Francisco. She recorded two short albums: one[28] contains her rendition of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Grace Darling",[29] and the other, two duets with friend and poet Maya Angelou.[30] Her last work was an update entitled The American Way of Death Revisited.

A page from Frog and Toad Together, with a muted-tone drawing of Toad sitting up in bed with pencil and paper in hand and light coming through the window. Text reads "'I have done that,' said Toad, and he crossed out: Wake up"

Screenshot of article text: ...insurance or education for their kids. They're worried they won't have enough money to retire. Infortunately, most Americans perceive that Democrats are too often focused on other issues, such as reproductive rights and LGBT protections. While these are vital, they're not the first thing on most Americans' minds as they lie awake at night...

This sad little guy was left behind hours after the protesters had moved on to Civic Center 🤣
A sad-looking stuffed doll in a high chair with a Donald Trump mask and toupee and fake dollar bills sticking out of the waistband of its diaper. Alone on the grass, no friends.

Panel of the comic Calvin and Hobbes: Calvin lies anguished in the snow, mittened hand covering eyes, saying, "Reality continues to ruin my life."

Calvin and Hobbes daily strip: Calvin says "I'm filling out a reader survey for Chewing Magazine." "See, they asked me how much money I spend on gum each week, so I wrote '$500.' For my age, I put '43.' And when they asked what my favorite flavor is, I wrote 'garlic/curry." Hobbes says "This magazine should have some amusing ads soon." Calvin says "I love messing with data."

As a public librarian who selects for the religion section, I've seen some pretty wtaf-inducing books, but this one might be my favorite in that while it probably reduces to some toxic garbage, on the surface it looks hilarious. Wish they were all this silly!

"don't be a scab."
Sepia print of two youths in dresses, coats, and roller skates with sashes that say "Don't be a scab." The youths hold leaflets, presumably to distribute. A suited, mustached man in hat is walking by in background.
