Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.
This makes my heart hurt.

Van Orden is a truly horrible being. A vote for Rebecca Cooke is a vote for sanity and decency.

Fiona "Fi" Webster 🌎🌍🌏@fiona-webster22.bsky.social · last yr.Don't let the NYTimes lie to you! My best friend, who lives two blocks away, just sent me lots of video & still photos of image of a huge moving crowd of #NoKings protesters in St. Paul, Minnesota. You can see the state Capitol in the background. Loud sounds of cars on I-94 honking in support.
America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

These are gorgeous!

I design my botanical photos using recent research so they dial down the fight or flight response in your brain when you look at them. I'll be closing my shop again on Sunday evening: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/silv...

Quilting served as a quiet form of resistance. Denied the use of bright colors, enslaved women used scraps of fabric to stitch patterns into their bedding and clothing, preserving native African textile traditions. 145 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD
The Road to Freedom: Early African American Quilting
