It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Thanks, Jezza, @porpster.bsky.social for the fun today. Always appreciate what you put into leading the countdown. Have a great week, Everyone! Stay warm!

Oh… I always loved this song! I know, it’s a bit cheesy, but her voice is lovely. “Torn Between Two Lovers.” Beautiful! #AT40
Yeah… and this picture appeared in a whole bunch of German newspapers. I was pretty embarrassed about it for quite a while. Then I got older and decided it was really a good representation of my military service. 😎
Babs! Love her voice. Can’t think of anything she has done that wasn’t perfection.
#AT40
😂
Actually I was kinda mortified!
Yeah… I had a real live German in this pic. Beat that, @ollie209.bsky.social. #AT40
Here’s one I trot out occasionally, mainly because my photos have been packed and stashed somewhere in a cabinet. This was 1976… I was 22 and the German officer pinning on the award wasn’t accustomed to either my height, or the fact women’s dress uniforms don’t have breast pockets! 🤷♀️ #AT40
Yeah, for me as well, because in 1977 I was 5’10” and wore 3” heels. Loved being taller than most men I knew! #AT40

Greetings, #AT40 Family! I’ve been swamped for the past several weekends and missed you all! It’s freezing cold here… 3 degrees air temp, -22 with the wind chill. Brrr…!!
And what is up with this stupid chicken song?
How Did the C.I.A. Lose a Nuclear Device? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Wow… what a story!!!
Yes… I know. But it’s so hard to implement! 😎
Always gloves, and commercial egg wash! Then donation to local food pantry!
Thanks everyone, especially Jezza for all the prep work! @porpster.bsky.social
Have a great week, everyone! Today’s project: egg washing. Brother has 30 chickens! #AT40
Many years ago the Bee Gees were recording a video at Coronado Beach in San Diego. It was in the early years of MTV. We were staying at that huge pink hotel there and the band members were jammed into the elevator we were on. We watched them from the beach! #AT40
Hey Bill, @billscheft.bsky.social I’ve been falling behind on Penny pix! This is what she’s doing at this very minute… chewing up a block I use for Christmas lights! #AT40
Oh, no! We need all the support we can get!
Are you rooting for the Bills yet, Terence? Hopefully so! 🏈🏈🏈
Same here… so sweet!
Nope. Got home in Spring 1977. I was busy trying to make a living, had the boyfriend who followed me back to the States and moved in. Foreign nationals can wreck a security clearance! Especially when you marry one!
Simon and Garfunkel were spectacular! I somehow know all the lyrics to all their music… don’t know how that happened! Slip Sliding Away is lovely!
#AT40
Never heard this either! I must’ve been fairly busy in December 1977! #AT40
I’ve missed being here… missed taking the time for myself. A little reminder to stop everything for a few hours every week. Things can wait… now to put it into practice is another whole problem! 😎
Wow… another tune I’ve never heard before. #AT40
Greetings, #AT40 Friends! Missed the past few weekends, so much going on. Hope everyone is well and looking forward to a peaceful holiday season!
My variegated amaryllis opened this week! 🎄🎄🎄
Look at these prices, Ollie! Close to Bay Area pricing on the fancier pieces.
