Coincidence??!
Screenshot of post in local Buy Nothing group. Two vintage-looking dolls on a deck railing. One has brown curly hair and a frilly dress, the other is standing in a mint green jumper and has a creepy Chuckie-esque face.

“It looks like a tea party, but really it’s an insurgency.” - Klare Shaw describing this ca. 1920 photo of a fundraiser for the League of Women for Community Service (lwcsboston.org), one of the oldest Black women’s service organizations in the U.S. #NCSS2024 @cufancss.bsky.social
Black and white photo circa 1920 of approximately 25 Black women dressed up for tea in long dresses and hats. They are seated around a long table and many are smiling for the photograph. The dining table is draped in a fine white tablecloth, place settings are out, and many candles are lit.

Reading this NYT article (gift link below) and feeling very out of the loop. Do people really refer to the Department of Education as just “Ed”?!
Screenshot of excerpt from NYT article “Could Trump Shut Down the Department of Education?” Focal text: “President Jimmy Carter established the department, often known simply as Ed, in 1979, fulfilling a campaign promise to the nation’s largest teachers’ union, the National Education Association.” Highlight added to text “often known simply as Ed” with an exclamation mark. (Gift link to full article in subsequent post.)
