Happy Harriet Tubman Day!
Today we honor the legendary abolitionist's legacy. While officially observed on March 10 in NY (especially Auburn, where she is buried), calls are growing to make this a federal holiday.

I had no idea that Florsheim shoes were still around.
I never dreamed how bigoted -- and for that matter, how unintelligent -- so many Americans are. The last ten years have been depressingly eye-opening.
CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran."
This Coal Tit presumably looking for breakfast or possibly nesting materials(Moss) but maybe a bit early for that,
Really busy though. ππ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ

It is reported that Iran selected Mojtaba Khamenei in part because Trump said in an interview that he was "unacceptable" to Trump.
So Trump has ensured the person running Iran is *more* theocratic and hates the US for killing his wife and father. Well done, Donald!

In honor of International Womenβs Day we celebrate The International Sweethearts of Rhythm, the top interracial female jazz orch of the swing era. Though they didnβt get as much attention as Ellington or Basie, they were just as good. We salute their contribution to music.

AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though weβre just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard.
First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are
here's today's post: "what the fuck is a Shield of the Americas?" β itβs just Donnyβs latest fascist grift, thatβs all.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
Iβm sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.
That trucker cap is such a disrespectful thing to wear. Does he really care so little that he couldn't be bothered to take off that damn hat? His entire ensemble screams "I don't want to be here."
Happy National Cereal Day! Remember when your breakfast cereal would sometimes have a little prize inside? Well, let's take a little trip through the time machine and see what kind of prizes you could find in the box.
Speaker Johnson finally installed the plaque commemorating the service of our Capitol Police during the January 6th attacks β at 4 am this morning.
The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.
βThe position of the artist if humble. He is essentially a channel.β

Maurice Ravel - BOTD

On this date in 1875, the French composer and pianist Joseph Maurice Ravel was born. Although he and Debussy are generally considered the most important exponents of French musical impressionism, Ravel's art is more restrained, reflecting his affinity for classicism.
CELEBRATING CANADIAN ART Maud Kathleen Lewis (March 7, 1903 β July 30, 1970) was a Canadian folk artist from Nova Scotia. She lived most of her life in poverty in a tiny house in Marshalltown, Nova Scotia. She achieved national recognition in 1964 and 1965 for her cheerful paintings of landscapes, animals and flowers, which offer a nostalgic and optimistic vision of her native province. Several books, plays and films have been produced about her. She remains one of Canada's most celebrated folk artists. Her works are displayed at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, as well as her restored house, whose walls she adorned with her art. Despite her recognition, Lewis never had a museum exhibition, nor was her work collected by art galleries or museums during her lifetime. Lewis used bright colours in her paintings, and her subjects were often flowers or animals, including oxen teams, horses, birds, deer, and cats. Many of her paintings are of outdoor scenes, including Cape Island boats bobbing on the water, horses pulling a sleigh, skaters, and portraits of dogs, cats, deer, birds, and cows. Her paintings were inspired by childhood memories of the landscape and people around Yarmouth and South Ohio, as well as Digby locations such as Point Prim and Bayview. Commercial Christmas cards and calendars also influenced her.
