One of the greatest of all: a true inspiration and muse to so many future legends of rock who would not have achieved their level of creativity without her.

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe died #OTD in 1973. The original #soul sister & "Godmother of Rock & Roll" influenced many including Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley & Jerry Lee Lewis. 😮 Great balls of fire! #MusicHistory #Music
A classic black-and-white photograph of Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915–1973), the pioneering gospel singer, guitarist, and "Godmother of Rock 'n' Roll." Captured mid-performance in a nightclub or studio setting (likely 1940s–1950s), she leans into a vintage microphone with a radiant, joyful smile—eyes sparkling upward in ecstasy, mouth open wide in song or laughter, conveying pure passion and energy. Her dark hair is styled in elegant curls with a small decorative bow or flower accent. She wears a light-colored dress with voluminous, sheer puffed sleeves, a high neckline, and a large bow at the neck, giving her an elegant yet exuberant stage presence. In her hands she cradles a white guitar, fingers poised on the fretboard as she plays. The background shows a draped curtain and soft stage lighting, emphasizing her dynamic pose and the fusion of sacred gospel with secular rhythm that defined her groundbreaking career. This iconic image captures Tharpe's revolutionary influence—blending gospel with early rock 'n' roll guitar techniques, influencing artists like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard, and becoming one of the first major Black female stars to cross over into mainstream popularity while remaining rooted in her faith.

Wouldn't it be "cruel and unusual punishment" to livestream an execution? I know it's quaint to bring up the Constitution, but some of us still support it.

In 2022, planetary geologist & NASA astronaut Dr. Jessica Watkins became the first Black woman to serve on a long-duration International Space Station mission. She spent 170 days in orbit executing vital medical, biological, and physical sciences experiments. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀 #WomenInSTEM
An official NASA portait of planetary geologist and history-making NASA astronau,Dr. Jessica Watkins. She smiles warmly in a formal portrait, exuding a focused and joyous mood. Captured from the waist up against a deep blue background, she is framed by the American flag on the left and the NASA logo flag on the right. Dr. Watkins is posed leaning forward slightly, her hands calmly resting on a dark surface in the foreground, showcasing her short, natural hair, gold hoop earrings, and open, vibrant expression. She wears a crisp, royal blue NASA flight suit adorned with official insignia: the iconic round NASA patch on her right chest, a rectangular blue nametag reading "JESSICA WATKINS" with the astronaut symbol on her left chest, and an American flag patch on her upper left arm. This balanced, professional composition honors her historic milestone as the first Black woman to serve on a long-duration International Space Station mission and command an orbital spaceflight.

Ophthalmologist Dr. Agatha Aboe led the medical campaign in Ghana to eliminate trachoma (leading infectious cause of preventable blindness globally). It worked. Ghana became the 1st country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate the disease, 2018. #WorldSightDay #WomenInSTEM
A low-angle, close-up portrait of renowned Ghanaian ophthalmologist and public health pioneer Dr. Agatha Aboe. Celebrated for leading the historic medical campaign that made Ghana the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate trachoma in 2018, she is captured looking upward and to the left with an optimistic, serene smile. Her black hair is neatly styled with shaved, patterned sides. She wears distinctive semi-translucent, light-blue-framed glasses and bright orange, teardrop-shaped beaded earrings that offer a vibrant color contrast. Her top is a simple, high-collared bright blue shirt. The background features a soft-focus, minimalist golden-yellow architectural column under warm, natural sunlight. The tight composition and uplifting lighting establish an empowering, visionary mood, symbolizing her historical significance as a leading global voice for Women in STEM who now exports eye-health roadmaps to other endemic nations

Bacteriological chemist & refrigeration engineer Dr. Mary Engle Pennington, the "Ice Woman," revolutionized food safety by inventing the "cold chain." Her groundbreaking work on continuous refrigeration kept perishable food fresh from harvest to consumer. She was born #OTD in 1872. 🧵 #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white photograph of Dr. Mary Engle Pennington (1872–1952), the pioneering American bacteriological chemist and refrigeration engineer known as the "Ice Woman." Shown from the chest up, she poses at a three-quarter angle, facing left while turning her gaze calmly toward the camera. Her expression is serene, intellectual, and confident, marked by a slight, knowing smile. Her wavy, light-colored hair is parted down the middle and neatly pinned back, framing her face and her thin, round wire-rimmed spectacles. She is elegantly dressed in a textured, small-checked pattern blazer over a collared blouse with a delicate, ornate pendant hanging from her neckline. Pinched to her left lapel is a prominent corsage featuring two light-colored, lifelike fabric flower blossoms complete with subtle leaves. The overall composition uses classic soft studio lighting that creates a gentle gradient across her face against a dark, featureless backdrop, capturing a dignified and scholarly mood that honors her monumental contributions to global food safety.

The definitions of "enemy" have a very broad window in the fascist realm of the convicted felon pedophile rapist. They include former allies, elite universities, those with brown skin, women, anyone who doesn't kiss his ass. Putim, Xi, and Kim Jong Un are friends now.

#OTD in 2006, Anna Politkovskaya--Russian investigative journalist & human rights defender--was murdered in her apt building in Moscow. #PressFreedom She exposed state corruption, opposed the Chechen conflict & wrote "Putin's Russia," a book critical of his rise to power & authoritarian shift.
A serious portrait-style photograph of Russian journalist, author, and human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya (August 30, 1958 – October 7, 2006). Globally revered for her fearless exposure of human rights abuses in Chechnya and her staunch criticism of Vladimir Putin, she looks slightly off-camera with a solemn, resolute, and deeply contemplative expression. Her face is framed by her signature silver-gray hair, parted down the middle and tucked behind her ears, revealing long, slender gold bar earrings. She wears oval, wire-rimmed gold glasses and a crisp, white collared shirt that stands out sharply against the composition. She is in the right two-thirds of the frame, balanced by a soft-focused, bright outdoor background of green and white bokeh on the left. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting her focused gaze. The overall mood is serious, reflective, and dignified, serving as a powerful visual testament to her legacy as a champion of press freedom who paid the ultimate price for her investigative work.

Biochemist Dr. Florence Seibert developed the Purified Protein Derivative in the 1930s that standardized tuberculosis testing worldwide by 1952. Before her work, TB skin tests were inconsistent/unreliable.It remains the basis for the TB skin test used today. Born #OTD in 1897. #WomenInSTEM
A vintage black-and-white studio portrait features biochemist Dr. Florence Seibert (1900–1991), famed for developing the Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) that standardized tuberculosis testing worldwide. Captured from the chest up, she poses in a three-quarter turn while looking directly at the camera with a subtle, intelligent smile, establishing a serene, professional, and historically significant mood. Her dark hair is styled in a classic 1920s short bob featuring prominent finger waves framing her forehead. She wears delicate, rimless spectacles and a light-colored blouse designed with a prominent collar and soft ruffled detailing along the edges. The composition employs soft-focus lighting typical of early 20th-century photography, casting gentle highlights across her face against a smooth, dark, non-descript studio backdrop. In the bottom right corner, a faint, embossed photographer's stamp adds an authentic period touch to this archival image celebrating a foundational figure in medicine.
