We just got the White House East Wing job. Maybe we should ask for the money up front, T.

The East Wing, originally built in 1942 to protect the underground bunker from Nazi aerial bombings & attacks.

Nazis literally deleting a structure built to protect our executive branch from Nazis is peak 1984.

Fuck this regime & fuck the fascists.

Hi + TY re tips! ONLY want updates on latest news. Not everything they + others write about. What JUST happened? Trending. Unfollowed specific news ppl + stations cos it's overwhelming. I read @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @huffpost.com @thenewrepublic.bsky.social @theatlantic.com all the time.

@jheil.bsky.social Real LA natives call ourselves ANGELENOS. We never ever say "Los Angelenos." Please update your choice of words. From a proud Angelena, as a fellow Angeleno called me the other day.

NOT all Valley Girls are rich and conservative. We are also strong liberals without a lotta money.

ALSO, I cannot figure out how to actually see news here. I changed some settings, but no idea what. So I'm frustrated being on social. I see too much news or not enough. Time suck too. I've so much work to do on my photos. I'll pop up again. Hope all is well in your life! Thanks so much for caring.

Oh thank you for missing me! I'm deeply immersed into color correcting, renaming and organizing my photos. I could spend all day + it feels like 10 minutes when I'm into it. Saddened at scary news. Is SCOTUS gonna destroy Voting Rights? So I stay offline. Not for long. But for a bit longer. Thanks!

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

The fact that there were no counterprotests shows that Trumpism and MAGA barely exist outside of social media. This movement has gradually collapsed completely within the population. — It’s difficult to fill the real world with Trump government troll bots.

Not a KISS fan, but easily managed a photo pass, August 28, 1977, at LA's Forum. They recorded "Alive II" during that tour.

Time to rock n roll every night and party every day, which I did during punk, esp 1977!!

I write because I love writing. I love writing even when I'm struggling with a writing problem that is killing me. Finding a way through that problem is both intensely rewarding and also helps me become a better writer. There is no reason for me to ever outsource that.

My heart is breaking. I grew up on stories of rise of Hitler. I've many art books on Weimar Germany. I love art history cos I learn so much about political history too. My parents didn't fight in WW2 for Trump + GQP takeover. Glad parent are gone, cos this would kill them. As it is killing the USA 🤬

"These mofos* are crazy" should be the DNC slogan against the Rs for now + forever. TY brilliantly witty + honest @kamalaharris.com . Historical evening at the Getty in West LA. I missed that info in their emails. So proud she said that in my birth city. Rhymes with "Other Suckers" re @huffpost.com

Pam Blondi didn't use a laptop when testifying in front of Congress. WHY? Aren't laptops allowed? SO much easier to find data rather than leaf thru that big thing. Her expressions are horrifying! ENTITLED! Snarling smirks. Her eyes lethal, Mouth spit venom. I study + photograph FACES. She is scary!

I live in Portland and I don’t feel unsafe, there is no war zone here, life is as normal. Protests all exist within a single city block that doesn’t affect me at all. Protestors are all in plainclothes or dumb cosplay, peaceful and unobstructive to anyone other than ICE

Phil Ochs wrote this deceptively cheerful yet seriously angry response to the brutal murder + apathetic, non-existent help from many who heard Kitty Genovese's screams.

“After all, I'm sure it wouldn't interest outside of a small circle of friends.”

Thank you for prompt clarification. Appreciate your comment. If I were in my "Sunday best," I'd look a mess after after my Ark adventures!

Why 'costumes' vs 'clothing'? They wore special clothes for this? I am ignorant in all things Christian and Medieval. But fascinated.

Today is also the feast of Bruno of Cologne, founder of the Carthusian Order. Here is a graphic novel version of the founding of the order from a copy of Guigo's Consuetudines cartusienses printed in Basel in 1510. #medievalsky #earlyprinting #bookhistory 🧵
