Joseph Edward Southall, Orta, Venti Settembre.
Joseph Edward Southall, Orta, Venti Settembre. Urban scene on a hillside in Orta, rendered in soft, luminous tones. In the foreground, two people — a woman with a light veil and a seated young person — appear beside a stone wall, partially shaded by the sloping roofs of the houses. To the left, another person stands in a doorway near an ornamental planter. The buildings show light walls, dark roofs, and a prominent bell tower that guides the viewer’s gaze toward the middle ground. In the distance, the lake reflects the blue of the sky, surrounded by buildings and sharply contoured mountains. Near the water, a crowd seems gathered for an event, suggesting movement and festivity in contrast to the stillness of the foreground scene.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

"In the solitude of a book, we find ourselves a little more willing to be vulnerable to having our mindset challenged." - Nick Raines

The main difference between people who want to ban books and me:

They would feel threatened by that quote.

I feel *energized* by it.

Let me show you something

A work by British artist Banksy – created just after Kyiv region was de-occupied and later nearly stolen in Hostomel – is now kept in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.

Next to it is an 11th-century graffiti caricature from the Dormition Cathedral.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

We endured strong winds & sleet showers, we were wet and cold, but the light made it worth it. The skies opened, the magic happened, & we rushed to capture the awe inspiring beauty! Tombstone, Yukon, Canada.⁠

Scarlet leaves cling tenderly to a pale, textured wall, their winding vines tracing delicate, hand-drawn stories across the surface. The rich red foliage glows like scattered love notes caught in a quiet moment of autumn, softening the stark backdrop with a touch of wild, wistful beauty. (Who writes this stuff?!)
