Flowers, still lifes and domestic interiors are the primary subjects of Ethel Sands’s painting; here they are combined with books on a bookcase at the Château d’Auppegard near Dieppe in France where Sands and her partner, the Nan Hudson, spent summers together from the 1920s.

Some sad confirmation from @bcgl.bsky.social while I was at UW last week—the National Digital Newspaper Program—which builds Chronicling America—has been shut down

My husband @robertcooper-us.bsky.social and I were the FIRST gay couple to adopt children in the US, way back in 1985. We went on to adopt five wonderful kids — all adopted at birth.

They’ve grown so much! Here’s a pic from our wedding in 2000, and a recent one including their significant others. ❤️
