Do you have a plan to #vote? Every #election matters – and every year the stakes get higher. If those in power wanted to make our lives better, they would focus on that. Do they? Are you better off? #politics

The background of this design is a classic blue ocean tube wave. Emblazoned across it is the word “VOTE” in large white letters. Above the “VOTE” it says, “If those in power wanted to make our lives better, they would.” Below it, they ask “Do they, where you live?”

This square design has a variegated green and red-violet background and centers on two photos.

Long after #artist Todd Gray’s “Portals” exhibition ends, these evocative #photographic #collages’ unsettling messages remain. For Gray, #portals are a way to examine connections & the legacy of #colonization. From @mymodernmet.bsky.social #history #contemporaryart mymodernmet.com/todd-gray-po...

On a bright fall day in Porter Park, eleven Prairie Village officials and residents gathered to dedicate the interpretive panel that tells the history of racist land covenants in Johnson County, KS.

Can our #dogs 🐕 (or other #animals) communicate meaningfully using “talking buttons”? PBS News ran a #feature that explored the idea. It includes an interview with #animal #behavior #researcher Federico Rossano. Scientists remain skeptical. What do you think? youtu.be/czLwLol6eHY?...

Arguably the “original button dog,” Stella, a medium-sized dog with a smooth, red-brown coat and upright ears, places her paw on one out of four long rows of “talking buttons,” 37 in all. The buttons are spaced out on a Masonite-type board on a tile floor, in a room with white-painted walls and white double doors. The words at the bottom say, “Christina Hunger’s dog Stella / PBS.” See the story on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/czLwLol6eHY?si=Vuyiys9SfSNUjxOL

Another famous “button dog,” Bunny the “sheepadoodle” has a poodle-fluffy coat that is mostly black with white paws, neck, and head. She places a paw on a button-board with interlocking hexagonal tiles of pink, white, blue, and green, each of which provides a backing for up to five buttons. They are laid out in an irregular crescent on a wooden floor. Closed captioning on this screen-capture from an NPR video feature says, “But the buttons and the people and dogs who used them kept growing in popularity.” Below the photo the words say, “Alexis Devine’s dog Bunny / PBS.” See the story on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/czLwLol6eHY?si=Vuyiys9SfSNUjxOL

A slender golden-tan coated dog with prick ears, and a white blaze, forelegs, belly, and tail-tip, reaches toward a button on a board similar to that used by Bunny the Sheepadoodle, and looks back toward the photographer. These interlocking hexagonal button-boards are black-edged with blue and white buttons, and central areas of yellow, violet, aqua, red, and orange. They are laid out on a wooden floor near a bookshelf and potted plant. A partially-visible window fills part of the back wall. Closed captioning on this screen-capture from an NPR video feature quotes researcher Federico Rossano, and says, “Our plan of having maybe 100, 200 participants turned into more than 10,000.” Below the photo the words say, “Unattributed Image / PBS.” See the story on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/czLwLol6eHY?si=Vuyiys9SfSNUjxOL

A shaggy, erect-eared West Highland White Terrier looks up at the photographer with one paw resting near a large red button on a mat that has roughly the form of an X or “plus” sign, which has been placed on a gray tile floor. Closed captioning on this screen-capture from an NPR video feature says, “hours of video of dogs using them. They also conducted controlled behavioral studies.” Below the photo the words say, “Alexandria Evans / BPS.” See the story on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/czLwLol6eHY?si=Vuyiys9SfSNUjxOL

It’s first in the #FirstAmendment! But all through #UShistory it’s been hard to practice. Are the parallel principles of #FreedomofReligion and the separation of Church and State more aspiration than practice? Have we ever observed it well? jansgephardt.com/index.php/20...

The background imagery of this square design is a red, white and blue background, across which the US flag unfurls. Superimposed over it is a painting of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson around a table by a window. Franklin reads from a large sheet of paper. Adams, seated in the middle, listens to him. Jefferson stands next to the table with a quill and another large piece of paper, also listening. The words across upper part of the painting say, “WE’VE JUST CREATED THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.” Below the three men, it continues, “IT’S SO SIMPLE, EVEN A CHILD CAN UNDERSTAND IT, RIGHT?” Under the painting, it says, “Many thanks to Imgflip and Marshal Tenner Winter for this image.” See the blog post at https://jansgephardt.com/index.php/2020/07/02/freedom-of-religion-2/

Founded by the Farm #AnimalRights Movement, World Farm Animals Day was created to raise awareness of cruel practices against #farmanimals in animal husbandry and slaughterhouses. dayforanimals.com

This square image is mostly shades of brown and tan. Several young pigs, crowded close together, look at the viewer from behind a metal barricade. The words say, “for them: Stand up for animals, October 2 since 1983. World Day for Farmed Animals dayforanimals.com.” For more information, see https://dayforanimals.com/

Happy #BlackDogDay! We at Weird Sisters Publishing love black #dogs! Yet many fear to #adopt them as #pets. To counter that, one #shelter volunteer created a day to celebrate them! XK9s Rex, Tuxedo, and Victor heartily approve! www.horizonanimalhospital.com/services/dog...

This square design centers on artwork for the cover of A Bone to Pick ©2020 by Jody A. Lee. It shows a large black dog (the book’s protagonist Rex Dieter-Nell) with his head and shoulders sticking out the window of a sporty-looking yellow car. The headline proclaims “Happy National Black Dog Day! WE LOVE BLACK DOGS! AND WE’RE NOT AFRAID TO ADOPT THEM! To read more about the holiday, see https://www.horizonanimalhospital.com/services/dogs/blog/5-best-ways-celebrate-national-black-dog-day
