Carbondale IL 4/8/24. Seeing a total eclipse approaching through a pasta drainer (not the holes appear only as semi-circles as the sun starts to disappear).
And there’s this, which is both unconscionable and kinda an own goal
Somehow this is reminding me of the Henry Ford museum, which contains among so many things the Rosa Parks bus. The Henry Ford was the site of my daughter’s high school prom, but required chaperones to prevent attendees from sneaking onto the bus to make out.
Here is our much-missed Princess Tayshaun playing chess. She played vs a dachshund and won
The volunteers at the Detroit rally. An eclectic bunch. Includes me

There were five kinds of dinos in the dino oatmeal that my school-aged son ate every morning for years and years. Sweet Lord, they still make it. Kid is 32 now!

Post a bird to support @sbworkersunited.org and warn your followers not to buy Starbucks foe the duration of the strike. Here’s a jackdaw? It’s outside a non-SBX in Copenhagen
I haven’t been to a bookstore in nearly 3 months (sabbatical in Europe). But I am coming back to the US on Saturday. What have you acquired in that period that I must must read? 📚💙 #booksky Bonus if I can get it at #literatibookstore in Ann Arbor MI Algorithm photo of Oodi library in Helsinki

My husband points out that ”Once in a Lifetime” (#TalkingHeads, 1980) was closer in time to The Andrews Sisters’ “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” than to the present day. He was wearing this historic t-shirt when he figured this out.
