Happy belated birthday (intentionally) to me and happy book birthday to @janeharrington.bsky.social

I pre-ordered through bookshop.org and I can hardly wait to get started reading! Extremely busy schedule means I must wait a bit.
Cover of the book, Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance: The Forgotten Founding Mothers of the Fairy Tale and the Stories That They Spun, by Jane Harrington and illustrated by Khoa Le. I don't have the capacity for visual description at this moment.

The typo in the charges is unintentionally hilarious.
Screenshot from the FOX2now site, with the text: He is currently being held in the Montgomery County jail without bond for the following charges: Aggravated Feeling from Law Enforcement (the typo for what should be "fleeing" is making me laugh)

I am absolutely stealing this for the Friday pool.

(We have a literal pool of extra signs. A blue plastic pool.)
A blue plastic pool holding extra protest signs. A sign taped to the pool reads "new protest starting Sundays, Alton, Lincoln /Douglas Memorial (100 Market St.) Noon - 3p.m. One of our regulars is starting this weekend event in Alton - every Sunday!"

Robert the Doll face photoshopped onto the Kardashian body popping champagne with the coupe balanced on booty. Text reads HELP ME WIN SOME BOOTY! (for my museum) referencing chance to win 20k from the Knight Foundation for educational programming. It's a Facebook post cropped to show "message Robert the Doll"

Help! I lifted this photo from someone here on bluesky, forgot to note who it was, and now cannot find it. I tried image searching via Google. Can anyone help? Thank you 🤞💙
An image posted by someone here on bluesky showing a white VW bus with blue handprints "HANDS OFF" in red paint, and "Make America democratic again" on the driver's side, participating in the #handsoff demonstrations on Saturday, 5 April, 2025. Protesters holding signs are also part of the photo. Can you please let me know who posted so I can give photo credit? Thanks. 🤞😭

Turning my back on what appeared to be the sole counterprotestor in Springfield, Illinois (some kid driving a big-assed white pickemup flying a trump2024 flag).

The top of my sign is cut out of the photo. It says, "Yard Sale" at the top. (See Alt text for more details.)

Waterproofing & layers.
A person (me) with back to the camera standing in front of the Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois, wearing a blue rain poncho with white polkadots, green wellies with yellow dragonfly print, and a clear backpack with a red and white sign taped to the bottom pocket that reads, "FUCK FASCISM." Peeking out from inside the backpack is a little anime keychain plushie looking shocked. I am holding a protest sign made from a plastic garage sale sign: "Garage Sale U. S. A. - - for parts." Dollar tree has these plastic or vinyl signs that are great for wet days. Posca pen works well. The back side has a weird texture, but I was able to use both sides by taping vinyl lettering (with added marker) words to fit the "hands off" theme, "Hands Off Social Security."

Protestors line the sidewalks in front of the Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. The sky is overcast and one person is holding an umbrella with rainbow colors. The only sign that's facing the camera says "this is us" with a graphic of a fist and the three standard arrow/cross sex? / gender? symbols used as identifier glyphs, and a handwritten variety of issues including 'checks and balances' and 'equality.'

I had such a fabulous time at the demonstration with @evhemphill.bsky.social

Every week, the crowd swells larger.

Here's a photo of Evie and me with our protest signs.
Photo of Evie and eepicheep with our protest signs. You can see the flags on the pole behind us blowing in the wind. Evie's sign says, "America First" is CRUEL, DESTRUCTIVE, HATEFUL - - the LAST thing any _decent_ humans are about. My sign is that poem I wrote on fb a while ago: ROSES are RED, Except when they're BLUE They call it "efficiency" But it's truly a COUP

Let's share some art! Art is defiance! Art is resistance!
Collaged paper on faded pink construction paper. Father from a popular early reader holds a baseball bat in center. Map insets in circles outlined in black flank a section of woven paper strips. At bottom, text cobbled together from Early Reader reads: Some get angry and break things What happens then?

It's here! Inventing the Renaissance, by Ada Palmer @adapalmer.bsky.social

I ordered mine from my local bookstore, Afterwords @afterwordsbooks.bsky.social via bookshop.org

Next, I need time for reading.

For #WorldPoetryDay, here is a poem I wrote back on February 14 on my protest sign. Photo taken today at City Park in Edwardsville at the weekly Friday noon demonstration.
An old white lady (me) with long windblown greying ginger/auburn hair stands on the sidewalk next to a busy suburban street holding a handmade protest sign. The sign text is a poem I wrote to share on the zucky fb site for February 14: ROSES ARE RED EXCEPT WHEN THEY'RE BLUE THEY CALL IT "efficiency" BUT IT'S TRULY A COUP

Every Friday at noon. City Park, Edwardsville, just across the river from St. Louis. I look so damnably joyous here. I'm glad to be able to participate, but I do NOT feel the way I appear.

I pulled some cards beneath the eclipsed Worm moon. As usual for me, Major Arcana feature strongly. I haven't even begun to delve into the symbolic meanings yet. A French radio station played eerie baroque music as the moon slid into occlusion.

Home at last! After 17 hours at the ER (& $25 for parking)

I'm exhausted - the upshot is that the doctors overreacted.

I'm somewhat annoyed, but also it's better to have a false alarm than to ignore and/or be ignored.

Also, Goliath is the best kitty in the whole wide world.

My cousin Mike absolutely exuded chill. I'm but an apprentice. I think you can acquire the skill by hanging out with a master. Wish he were still alive.

I think this was the last time The Cousins Mike played out, Feb 2020.

(See Alt text if you can't guess which one he is.)
Three guys playing acoustic guitars. Guy at left standing, playing wood resophonic with a slide; middle also standing, singing into a mic; and at right, sitting with one leg crossed as a guitar rest and absolutely exuding chill.

Goliath outside in his fancy chariot for our first outdoor hang! Hoping we will have many more.

He HATES being picked up, but he likes his carrier. It was a good investment to get the stroller set-up.

There is no good way for him to see birds 🪶 at the feeder from indoors. They come if I am quiet.
À fancy kitty stroller on the back patio. Goliath, my very large Siamese mix kitty, is inside, looking out the screened windows, but not visible in the picture. A bird feeder and suet feeder can be seen hanging from a double shepherd's hook in the background. A blurry bird is barely visible, possibly a nuthatch, getting a seed.
