One of many concerned citizens. Love democracy, want it to remain healthy and strong. Positive strong alliances with other democratic countries are ESSENTIAL.

He’s been president for six years, and his healthcare legacy is cutting coverage while offering nothing but a laughable “concept” of a plan. Six years later, the “plan” is still just empty promises dressed up as policy.

RIP St. Francis of Assisi, died this day 1226, exactly 800 years ago, tomorrow is his feast day. He has always been my favorite saint. "A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows." "Make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love."

Geologist & astronaut Dr. Kathryn Sullivan: the "most vertical human" in history. + From space: 1st American woman to walk in space, 11 Oct 1984 + To the deepest point of Earth's seabed: 1st woman to dive to the Challenger Deep (🔽 35,853 ft), 7 June 2020 She was born #OTD in 1951. #WomenInSTEM
An official NASA studio portrait of Dr. Kathryn D. Sullivan (born 1951) during her early career as a space shuttle astronaut. Taken ahead of her groundbreaking October 1984 mission where she became the first American woman to perform a spacewalk, this image carries deep historical significance for women in STEM fields. The composition is a classic, vertically oriented portrait focusing on Sullivan from the waist up. She stands positioned at a three-quarter angle while turning her face back toward the viewer. Sullivan looks just to the right of the camera lens with a warm, confident smile and a gentle, approachable expression. Her brown hair is styled in a voluminous, feathered 1980s shoulder-length cut with soft curls framing her forehead. She wears a professional navy blue short-sleeved polo shirt featuring a prominent, authentic red and white NASA "worm" logo patch on the left breast pocket. In the background on her right stands a large, vibrant United States flag with its stars and stripes prominently displayed. To her left, softly out of focus on a table, sits a scale desktop model of a NASA Space Shuttle attached to its external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters. The mood is formal, patriotic, and inspiring.A candid photograph of pioneering American astronaut and oceanographer Dr. Kathryn D. Sullivan (born 1951) celebrating her historic June 2020 return from the Challenger Deep—the deepest known point in Earth’s oceans. This moment solidified her legacy as the first person to both walk in space and reach the ocean floor. The outdoor shot frames Sullivan off-center against a deep blue, slightly undulating ocean that stretches out to a hazy, light-clouded horizon line under bright sunlight. Sullivan stands leaning slightly out from a white oceanic vessel hatch or submersible entry point. She smiles broadly with triumphant energy, looking off-camera to the left. Her left arm is fully extended outward, flashing an enthusiastic thumbs-up sign. On the far left edge of the frame, another crew member's hand wearing a black textured glove mirrors her thumbs-up gesture. She wears a cobalt blue utility flight suit featuring a golden rectangular patch over her right chest. Her light brown hair is short and windblown, and she wears rectangular tortoiseshell sunglasses. Thick, bright yellow heavy-duty rigging straps slice vertically through the left foreground, framing her body, while a curved metallic silver handrail sits to her left. The overall mood is joyful, victorious, and adventurous.

Dr. Esther Boise Van Deman was the first female Roman field archaeologist. In 1907, she revolutionized the field by realizing changing brick & ancient concrete styles could date ruins. Her framework remains the standard for dating Roman monuments today.️ She was born #OTD in 1862. #WomenInSTEM
A formal sepia-toned studio portrait of Dr. Esther Boise Van Deman (1862–1937), the first woman to specialize in Roman field archaeology and the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in Latin from the University of Chicago. Dr. Van Deman is seated, facing forward with her body turned slightly to the left. She gazes directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and subtly pleasant expression. Her graying hair is swept upward and meticulously styled into a soft, rolled pompadour bun pinned at the top of her head. She wears an elegant, dark, patterned brocade or jacquard jacket over a lighter silk blouse. The neckline and front cuffs of the outfit are heavily adorned with intricate, wide white lace trimming that adds a formal, dignified texture to her attire. Her right arm curves gently across her lap, showing a hint of lace at the wrist. The lighting is soft and directional, illuminating the side of her face and chest while casting the background into a deep, warm, dark vignette. The composition is balanced and classic, projecting a mood of scholarly authority, refinement, and historic achievement befitting a trailblazer in scientific archaeology.
