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
