My epigenetic name is SPLCgirl [I inherited the SPLC cause from my mama.]. My Bassa name is SundayMa. [I was adopted into the Bassa tribe in Liberia. -Ma means I am a mama in the tribe.]. Find what you like in my posts. I am here, still learning.
London in the 1990s suddenly erupted in Russian oligarchs, masters of disguise and corruption. A young man becomes fascinated, then dies. What happened? A gripping murder (?) mystery and an eerily prescient origin story of the present times. Recommended by Maddow.
To honor Juneteenth, I found a virtually unknown NPS site in downtown Boston, right near the State House. How strange! This house at 67 Joy Street, Boston belonged to Coffin Pitts. It is a Boston African American National Historic Site. We learn that ...
#Caturday I am kinda annoyed at Blueberry this week. He brought in a live, skittering chipmunk and a baby bird. So much for the secret way in 'n out for him. It is firmly closed. 🤨
Five years ago during Covid, I unknowingly adopted a wilded cat. So that's what I've got. Afternoon nap after a night of hunting.
So many years lost... Class of '66. Two young men died in Viet Nam while I got to live so many more years.
After long, cold night in the New England woods, time for Blueberry's afternoon nap. My wilded kitty feeds himself at this time of year. No litter boxes, either. 😽
"Mom! Where did all this snow come from?? Make it go away!!! I WANT TO GO OUT!!!
My tuxie Blueberry is extremely annoyed not only at all of the snow but also, and especially, at the ICE. He is a bit dusty because he was hunting for mice in the cellar, but still looks exceedingly fierce. He in fact is a mouse killer.
Scarlet amaryllis trumpets midwinter beauty. For Alex Pretti & Michelle Good.
Congressman Jim McGovern’s powerful speech drew hoots & loud cheers from a savvy crowd at Worcester’s Institute Park. We ate so lucky! 🍀
A very good Congressman in a tiny little town listening to his constituents. Many are concerned about their healthcare costs. Jim McGovern, a tireless fighter for us all.
In 1781, we were just assembling our federal government. The Abolitionist movement began in Massachusetts. The tiny town of Hardwick erected this magnificent statue to honor their citizens who fought bravely in the to end slavery.
