I was today years old when I learned that the bassist on Gordon Lightfoot’s first album was Spike Lee’s father! #todayilearned #mindblown
1960s image of singer Gordon Lightfoot singing into a microphone, taken from the back of his first LP. The text above reads "LIGHTFOOT," and the credits below include names such as John Court, David Rea, Bruce Langhorne, and Bill Lee, who is Spike Lee’s father!

Current mood.
An orange wall is cut horizontally in half by a covered power cable. A silver power box is dead center. Two cream outlets whose plugs look very, very angry.

Indiana Humanities (IH) received word that a large sum of its operational funding will be terminated.

Although they will remain operational, this will profoundly impact the small-town historical societies, public libraries, and other nonprofits in 92 counties that […]

Keep the Humanities Alive in Indiana This loss will be felt in small towns and rural areas with fewer funders to invest in cultural programs that enrich lives and create a sense of belonging. In 2024 alone Indiana Humanities served s297,850 Hoosiers and partnered with 515 libraries, schools, museums and nonprofit organizations What can I do? Write / call to your Congressional representatives “ to let them know that this work is meaningful to you and your community! Share the message with your network on social m media and send it directly to five people and ask them to take action as well. Consider making a donation to Indiana Humanities.

Color outdoor photograph. A closeup of a metal box on a post. Broken pavement, train tracks, and electric poles line the background. On the box, someone spray painted, “Buy Local.”

#chicago #happynewyear
An evening city scene. A lone tree on the left foreground next to a no parking signs. Tall, lit buildings in the background. One of the buildings chose to program their lights to spell “Happy New Year.”

#chicago #BikeTooter
Looking down closely upon a city street in Chicago. A pause in a green painted bike lane shows two arrows (left and right) and the text “Look / Bikes.” It’s unclear if an enthusiastic road painter saw a bike that day, or was merely encouraging those who could to look both ways before crossing the bike lane.

Overcast’s new Wrapped-like list is the one that matters to me most. Happy with this list of my most listened to podcasts for 2024. 99% Invisible’s multi-hour discussion on Robert Caro’s The Power Broker put it ahead by sheer volume, but well worth it. @overcastfm
On an orange background, a 3x3 grid with podcast art from my most listened to shows. Includes 99% Invisible, This Day in Esoteric Political History, NPR’s Code Switch, Women at Warp, WTF with Marc Maron, Slate’s Political Gabfest, and Slate’s Amicus. Good list.

(In traffic helicopter voice) Major backup in South Bend, Indiana today... #BikeTooter #cycling #southbend #trafficjam
What should be an idyllic scene of an urban bike path with bare trees on either side and fallen leaves, except there’s a major traffic jam with a flock of geese blocking the path forward.

Never has this #cartoon been more accurate. #election
Black and white cartoon drawing of a flock of sheep on a meadow. A political billboard stands with a picture of a wolf in a suit, and to the right, the wolf’s slogan, “I am going to eat you.” Two sheep look contemplatively, and one says to the other, “He tells it like it is,” as the rest continue to graze. This is U.S. politics in 2024.

A calm river reflects perfectly a row of green, leafy trees and a pink/blue sky.

Atop a still, reflective river surrounded by green sits a concrete bridge. A freight train seems stopped. Or could it be moving?
