old story - great coda. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015...
Photo of an afternote to a new story on the Guardian - the highlighted portion reads: "The headline was also changed to make it clear that an old gun had been found, not a decrepit cowboy."

The full text pictured is as follows: "An earlier Reuters version of this story was amended on 16 January 2015 to correct the model of gun mentioned. It is a Winchester Model 1873, not a 1773, as we first said. The headline was also changed to make it clear that an old gun had been found, not a decrepit cowboy."

Went looking for this wonderful photo of Kerry Greenwood & just learned of her passing in 2025. I adore her books, she brought me such joy. To learn how much of a bang-up person she was is just incredible. So thankful. www.smh.com.au/culture/book...
Beloved mystery author & deeply respected Legal Aid solicitor Kerry Greenwood, posing for a black-and-white author portrait with one hand cocked on her chin and a classic Carey-Grant-at-peak-style fedora jauntily perfhed on her head. She looks like she is  in the middle of an engaging conversation.

what's your sign? zoe leonard, 1992
I want a dyke for president. I want a person with AIDS for president and I want a fag for vice president and I want someone with no health insurance and I want someone who grew up in a place where the earth is so saturated with toxic waste that they didn’t have a choice about getting leukemia. I want a president that had an abortion at sixteen and I want a candidate who isn’t the lesser of two evils and I want a president who lost their last lover to AIDS, who still sees that in their eyes every time they lay down to rest, who held their lover in their arms and knew they were dying. I want a president with no air-conditioning, a president who has stood in line at the clinic, at the DMV, at the welfare office, and has been unemployed and laid off and sexually harassed and gaybashed and deported. I want someone who has spent the night in the tombs and had a cross burned on their lawn and survived rape. I want someone who has been in love and been hurt, who respects sex, who has made mistakes and learned from them. I want a Black woman for president. I want someone with bad teeth and an attitude, someone who has eaten that nasty hospital food, someone who crossdresses and has done drugs and been in therapy. I want someone who has committed civil disobedience. And I want to know why this isn’t possible. I want to know why we started learning somewhere down the line that a president is always a clown. Always a john and never a hooker. Always a boss and never a worker. Always a liar, always a thief, and never caught.
Zoe Leonard

"Don't you realize that there can be no peace without justice?" (with alt text)
Screenshot of a post by The Cradle, @TheCradleMedia, with an image at bottom (described below the post's copy, in this alt text). The text of the post reads:

"Lebanese MP and international law professor Halima el Kaakour to Lebanese President Joseph Anoun and Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam:

"'How can you approve the clause stating that the parties must "refrain from taking any hostile or adversarial measures in international political or legal forums?" Does that mean giving up the right to pursue legal action over war crimes and crimes against humanity? You are denying justice to the thousands of victims of war crimes, while in the very same text speaking of 'peace?'! Don't you realize that there can be no peace without justice?'"

Here is a description of the image of the post:
A woman in a beautiful deep burgandy velvet blazor, black top and pants, with dark hair in a deep part that falls forward as she speaks passionnately into the microphones of a podium, leaning onto the hands that hold and rest on her sheaf of papers. Behind her are the geometric corners of beautifully amber polished wooden walls, black lines delineating seams and emphasizing the architecture.

She is curvaceous, ghostly, and definitely vampiric. She also has custom, very long nails (that she created).

this does conjure up some heatedly passive-aggressive family dynamics.

He wears darkniversized clothing. Next to him sits a Kardashian person wearing an overly-formal cream outfit.

wow. I've never seen anything like this. this is great marketing policy.
screenshot of a marketing email from the Mac Cosmetics company, with send line that reads "Want to skip Mother's Day emails?" then a logo and then body text that reads "Hi there, We understand that Mother's Day can be a difficult time for some of us. If you'd rather not receive emails regarding the holiday this year, let us know by following the link below. Don't worry - we'll keep you updated on the latest trends and offers so you won't miss a thing. Love, The Mac Team" and then a button reading "opt out."

when I was a kid: "here are the cardinals!"
A still from the film The Return of the Jedi (Star Wars 6) showing storm troopers lined up on the landing bay of a big bad-guys ship, with Darth Vader talking to a bad-guy human, surrounded by a few bad guys in long, bright-red robes and helmet-masks - who looked like Catholic Cardinals (a tier of Catholic priests who wear long, bright-red robes) to me, when I was a little Catholic kid.

I know I'm an asshole here but... we treat pets like humans, call them children, ourselves parents, expect deep emotional bonding & human relating - & exclude them in incomprehensible & hurtful ways. It's... not funny. It's actually cruel - if this were a human kid - well some would call it cruel.
