BlueSky used to be just birds, but then I polluted my feed with a bunch of news sources. I’ve been an activist, donated $, & tried to help stop the madness. We have failed. For health reasons, I can’t handle the cortisol rush from anger every morning. Our country is unacceptable. Taking a break.

The “Manet and Morisot” exhibit at the Legion of Honor Museum was exquisite. What a fantastic and rare friendship and collaboration they had — a nonsexual, professional relationship between a man and a woman in the late 19th century, two giants of Impressionism. San Francisco.

Sea Cliff, where fabulously wealthy people live in San Francisco. But the beaches are all public in California, including the jewel of China Beach at the center.

Trying to get the last bit of life out of my aging crabapple tree. Pruned it this winter after years of not doing so. It’s past its 25yr lifespan… advice is to just plant a new one. We’ll see how it fills out this month.

That’s incredibly close! Gorgeous! I often see them hovering at the top of the mountain we live on in San Francisco. The mountaintop is a city/county park that is maintained for nature, and it has a cloud forest of planted eucalyptus trees and Monterey cypress.

I appreciate so much what your org is doing, and why you use very graphic illustrations. However, can you please include Alt-text on these images? It is inclusive of folks with disabilities as well as those who use text readers, and it’s a strong part of BlueSky culture. Thanks.

What an amazing tribute. Fascinating to see his influence on you. The 1960s limitations of printing you mention have been overcome by the digital age and our ability to enlarge images on screen & see details in the bird within the scene. So glad your work is here for all of us, not just collectors.

The Chicago Sun-Times obit is much better than the NYT’s (which is way too negative; no one needs hagiography but they can’t stand to give him any credit at all). In Chicago, they knew Jesse well. #JesseJackson #RainbowCoalition chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2...

“I may be poor ...” began the call-and-response Rev. Jesse Jackson led in various forms before rapt audiences for more than half a century. “But I am ... somebody! I may be on welfare. But I am ... somebody! I may be in jail. But I am ... somebody! I may be uneducated, But I am ... somebody. I am Black. Beautiful. Proud. I must be respected. I must be protected. I am ... somebody!” — Rev. Jesse Jackson

“Jesse Jackson, the civil-rights leader who twice ran for president, has died at 84”

This is a stupid headline, but Randy Villegas is a terrific candidate for Congress in CA-22. What he wants to be is the Democratic member of Congress who represents working people in California’s Central Valley. He’s a fighter, not a DINO who votes with GOP. 1/2 calmatters.org/politics/202...
