AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.
The image shows the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on display on the National Mall in Washington D.C. in October 1996. This particular display, from October 11-13, 1996, was the last time the entire quilt was shown in its entirety, covering the vast expanse of the National Mall from the Washington Monument towards the U.S. Capitol. It featured over 40,000 panels and drew approximately 1.2 million visitors.

Today's historic pic: I'm late to the party, but yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Melbourne's Z class trams. To celebrate, here's Z1 no 79 in original orange livery on a Footscray-bound route 82 in Maribyrnong, December 31 1985. The last Z1s were withdrawn in 2016, but many Z3s still run today.
A Melbourne Z1 class tram in orange livery with trolley poles and black on white flip over route and destination indicators runs along a section of off-road reserved track amid dry grass. The destination display is showing Footscray, and the route number indicator is incorrectly showing 81 - it should have been 82, but those indicators were notoriously unreliable and would often flip one more position. In the background is the screen of a drive-in movie theatre.

home decor ideas to embarrass any future children:

- live laugh love sign but in the minecraft font
- hand crocheted wifi password (minecraft font also)
- garden gnome tailored for "memes" that would be popular in the future
- concerning amounts of wine mom paraphernalia (and no wine in the house)

A frame of Link from one of the CD-I Legend of Zelda games, edited to resemble Karl from Castle of Nations with frighteningly little adjustment.

The Mr. Rogers advice for moments of crisis is a useful thing to remember right now.

Look for the helpers.

Look for the people organizing to protect the most vulnerable.

Look for the people who have been concretely planning for how to respond, and are ready to implement.

Join them, if you can.

Don’t ever stop being angry and don’t trust anyone who tells you that you shouldn’t be.

But DO channel that anger into something healthy that will help both yourself and others.

I hope that sentiment made sense.

if you're lgbt, if you're black or hispanic or muslim, if you're a woman, if you're part of any sort of marginalized group

it's the most unfair thing that you have to keep fighting

but I beg you

please be brave
please be safe
please try to survive

Today's historic pic: Exactly forty years ago today, two 2-car diesel sets in Indian Red livery, after having arrived from Richmond with driving trailer car no 736 in the rear at Central Terminal, Sydney, November 3 1984. Electrification of the Richmond line was completed in 1991.
A streamlined four car diesel multiple unit train in Indian red livery with intricate yellow lining and elliptical silver roof sit in a platform at a multi-platform stub-end terminal station. A white triangular taildisc hangs on the lower front end of the nearest car indicating that it is the rear of the train. The scene is highly contrasty with a bright sky and the dark underside of the awning over the platform from which the photo is taken converging into the distance with the shadow cast by that awning on the platform beneath it and with the front of the train itself.

Today's historic pic: 38 years ago today, double-ended EMD streamliner A66 and VLine train no 8247 bound for Geelong depart Footscray, Vic, November 2 1986. A66 was built as B66 in 1952 and was rebuilt as A66 in 1985. She ran with VLine until 2018 and today hauls heritage trains.
Taken from a low angle beside a railway line, a passenger train hauled by a streamlined diesel loco in orange VLine livery approaches us as it passes beneath an overhead electrification gantry. In the background is a passenger station, and in the lower foreground, signal toughing runs alongside the tracks. At far right is a dilapidated corrugated iron fence in front of what seems to be a modest cottage of a vertical weatherboard style often provided by the VR for track workers and station staff.
