For Marie Dressler's birthday today, and in honor of A Chorus Year, here's a feature about her crucial role in founding Chorus Equity Association and winning Actors' Equity Association's first strike in 1919, written by Gabriela Geselowitz: www.actorsequity.org/news/equityn...
Marie Dressler, a middle-aged white woman wearing a robe and a feathered hat, looks into the camera with a slightly goofy smile; surrounding her face are images from her life and work on stage, screen, and the picket line.

oldest selfie on your phone

this one is circa 2000, possibly the first true selfie I ever took, when mirror photos were a meme going around the blogosphere
A young looking David with an unfortunate goatee takes his photo in the mirror with a purpose-made digital camera that today looks like a children’s toy but was state of the art at the time.

In Rhode Island, exploring my New England heritage.
Screenshot from Wikipedia, with the heading “In literature and history,” reading: Seth Peterson, a boatman, fisherman, and friend of Daniel Webster, described the 19th century orator and statesman (per biographer George Curtis) as having greatly enjoyed scrawed cod: He loved codfish best—he liked to have them scrawed—to have them split open, corned a little over night, and broiled for breakfast. I've fixed him more than a thousand. "Scrod" has been used as a facetious past participle of the word "screw," slang for having sexual intercourse, since at least the 1960s, in jokes like "I got scrod in Boston."
