NEW ILLUSTRATION
"Call Jane"
This work is an homage to the Jane Collective, which was started by a Jewish woman and whose main participants were almost entirely of Jewish women. The "Janes" provided safe, discreet abortion access to low income women in the early 1970s Chicago when abortion was mostly illegal in the USA.
The sign on the phone booth is one of the ads they placed in a paper. The background contains Jewish texts addressing social justice, resistance, abortion, and medicine. Photos from the days of the collective are also there.
The AT&T logo on the payphone is stylized to be a hamsa, with RM"K (my Hebrew name initials).
The new stupid right wing trend is describing crimes as vaguely as possible to pretend they're not crimes.
EXAMPLE: guy stands accused of walking into a bank in a ski mask, brandishing a gun, and demanding the tellers put $100,000 in unmarked bills in the bag or he's gonna start shooting
MAGA: wow so it's illegal to withdraw money now huh

Genetic genealogists working with US law enforcement have routinely been searching genetic databases that were opted out of forensic searches violating DOJ guidelines (and covering their tracks). #GeneticGenealogy

New blog post: The Arctic is on Fire!
This is a dress rehearsal for how we treat refugees. The city of Yellowknife is being evacuated. The people are being evacuated.
They are being welcomed. Will we continue to welcome the world's refugees as the effects of climate change displace billions of people?

@Mary625 @GatekeepKen @edsuom @stewartvm Back when I did satellite installation, if someone was a particularly strident asshole about their politics, I would put a parental block on their FoxNews 😂
Sometimes when the 2023 photograph you take turns out to be blurry you can boost colours a bit and tell people it's an 1883 oil painting. But only if the subject is plausible.
Fascynujący artykuł na Polityce: Kraków i Zakopane stają się szalenie popularne wśród Arabów z Zatoki Perskiej. Popularność zaczęła wzrastać wraz z otwarciem bespośredniego połączenia lotniczego między Dubajem i Krakowiem w 2018 roku.
Tragikomiczny wydaje mi się szczególnie jeden fragment:
"– Najgorzej, że się targują – mówi właścicielka jednego z takich drewnianych sklepików przy Krupówkach. – Discount, discount, powtarzają, a jak im mówię, że no discount, to połowa z nich wychodzi obrażona. Albo wciskają do ręki banknoty, jakby to miało mnie przekonać, żeby sprzedać ze zniżką – dodaje."
Innymi słowy, niepowstrzymana siła napotyka nieporuszalną przeszkodę: Arabowie próbują targować się z góralami.
Next time you hear about that 1945 Ferrari sold for almost 2 million, check the reliability of the site. Or ask an AI. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/18/business/wrecked-ferrari-auction/index.html
