Name Your Poison Day and Other June and June 8 Holidays – Saturday Night OT

 



Whoopi says "Everyone should have a throne" and this is in her View dressing room  ^^  😊


Apparently it's World Oceans Day  - so here is the Underwater Fish Cam, Deerfield Beach, FL



It is both World Gin Day AND the anniversary of the publication of George Orwell’s 1984 - h/t Wonkette 

Disqus still not letting me link properly in the post to text already written so here's the link

It's also Black Lives Matter Month -- not the same as Black History Month


Jim Crow of the North:  Redlining and Racism in Minnesota

(feels timely, unforch)


also a reminder that the Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism exhibit is still on at the Met



We also had some NASA events this week - so here is a picture


Stunning image of Saturn and its moon Titan, taken by the Cassini spacecraft using calibrated near-infrared data. NASA




I love Franklin - did we ever finish the conversation about why he did not get a proper chair at the holiday table for the Peanuts special last year (not in 1968) ...?


Glad this says "one of" - may change for me once I've had a chance to see another "summer movie" that just showed up in local theatres this week
