Remembering Anna Politkovskaya, the fierce Russian journalist, writer, and human rights activist on what would have been her 68th birthday.🕯️ Known for her opposition to the Chechen conflict and for criticism of Putin, she was murdered on Oct 7, 2006. #Journalism #PressFreedom

An intimate close-up photograph of Anna Politkovskaya (1958–2006), the fearless Russian investigative journalist, author, and human rights activist widely recognized for her critical reporting on the Chechen conflict and state corruption. She is leaning forward with her chin resting heavily on both fists, creating a deeply contemplative and focused pose. Her face is slightly angled to her right, showing her prominent gold-rimmed, oval-shaped glasses. She has short, parted gray hair framing her face, and her neutral, somber expression is marked by a downward gaze, conveying intense concentration, weariness, and resolve. She wears a simple, dark black shirt, and small rings are visible on her fingers. The lighting is soft but direct from the side, casting gentle shadows across her face and accentuating her features against a completely muted, non-descript background. The close framing creates a powerful, solemn mood that reflects her serious journalistic legacy.

Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman won 3 Academy Awards, 2 Primetime Emmys, 4 Golden Globes, a BAFTA, and a Tony. The American Film Institute ranked her as the 4th-greatest female screen legend of classic American cinema. She was born #OTD in 1915 & died #OTD in 1982.

A gorgeous black-and-white photograph of iconic Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman (1915–1982), celebrated as one of cinema's greatest screen legends and a Triple Crown of Acting winner. Bergman is leaning slightly forward with her head tilted to the right. Her chin rests thoughtfully against her right hand, which is clad in a plush, black velvet or suede glove. Her wavy, light-colored hair is parted on the left side, swept back elegantly to reveal her soft, sculpted facial features. She wears a gentle, introspective expression, with her luminous eyes gazing off-camera to the left, conveying a sense of melancholic romance. Her attire features a patterned, houndstooth or checkered garment. The background is softly blurred into an out-of-focus, ethereal blend of light and shadow, casting a subtle halo effect around her head. The composition emphasizes her classic Hollywood beauty, creating a timeless and deeply intimate mood.

Virologist/molecular biologist Dr. Flossie Wong-Staal altered the trajectory of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. First to clone HIV-1 & complete its genetic mapping, directly leading to life-saving antiviral drug cocktails. Most-cited female scientist of the 1980s. Born #OTD in 1946. #WomenInSTEM

A black-and-white portrait of Dr. Flossie Wong-Staal (1946–2020), the pioneering Chinese-American virologist who first cloned HIV-1 and mapped its genome. Sitting in her research laboratory, she faces forward with a composed, direct, and confident expression. Her dark hair is styled in a short, neat bob, and she wears long, slender dangling earrings. Over a dark, patterned blouse, she wears a crisp white laboratory coat. She rests her left forearm on a lab counter beside her, while her right hand holds a dark binder resting on her lap. The background shows a busy lab setting filled with shelves of scientific glassware, chemical bottles, and equipment, all slightly out of focus to draw attention to her. The composition places her slightly off-center, capturing an professional and scholarly mood that underscores her historical significance as a leading figure in molecular biology during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis.

#OTD in 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. #WomensSuffrage Midterms are in 77 days. #Vote

A minimalist illustration of two early 20th-century suffragists actively campaigning for the right to vote. The figure on the left, with dark hair pinned up, wears a deep purple dress and a yellow shoulder sash reading "VOTES F...". The figure on the right wears a wide-brimmed straw hat, cream-colored top, and dark yellow skirt. Together, they lean forward to hold up a large, off-white rectangular sign reading "VOTES for WOMEN" in bold, black block lettering. The artwork features simplified, featureless faces against a plain white background, capturing a focused and determined mood that reflects the historic, grassroots struggle for women's suffrage prior to the passage of the 19th Amendment.

A historical photograph of Dr. Sally Kristen Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012)—the first American woman in space—inside the flight deck of the Space Shuttle Challenger during the STS-7 mission in June 1983. Dr. Ride is positioned in the center of the frame from the chest up with a warm, engaged smile. She wears a light-blue NASA flight jumpsuit adorned with an American flag patch on her left shoulder, a NASA insignia on her chest, and a name tag that reads "SALLY." A lightweight communications headset rests on her curly, dark brown hair, with a thin microphone curving toward her mouth. Her right hand adjusts a component of the headset wire near her ear. The background is filled with the dense, intricate instrumentation of the shuttle's overhead and aft control panels, packed with gray switches, dials, and circuit breakers. The tight framing, soft interior lighting, and candid composition emphasize a focused yet calm atmosphere, documenting a milestone moment for women in STEM and space exploration.

Neuroscientist Dr. Brenda Milner is recognized as one of the fundamental founders of modern cognitive neuropsychology. She proved the hippocampus is essential for forming long-term "declarative" memory (facts, names & events). She was born #OTD in 1918--she's 108 years old today! #WomenInSTEM

A color photograph of Dr. Brenda Milner (born 1918), the pioneering British-Canadian founder of cognitive neuropsychology whose landmark work mapped localized memory in the human hippocampus. Seated and facing left, she engages an audience with an expressive, animated posture, both hands raised in gestural emphasis. Her short, silver-gray hair is styled back with soft volume, framing a deeply lined, intent face with a focused expression. She wears a tailored, dark navy and black textured tweed jacket over a simple cream blouse. A multi-strand necklace of dark, polished beads hangs around her neck, and a small, delicate pin is affixed to her left lapel. A flesh-colored over-ear microphone wire curves across her cheek. The dimly lit stage setting shows a blurred equipment in the background under subtle stage lighting, giving the composition a dynamic, scholarly atmosphere that highlights her enduring intellectual passion.

Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth

Two banners

First banner reads:

Welcome to the Great Experiment

250 years of American invention - a story still in the making

Two hundred and fifty years ago, America made a bet: that ordinary people with extraordinary ideas could build a nation unlike any before. That bet is still paying off.

The Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention presents this exhibit in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Commerce - home of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the institution that turned creative freedom into economic fuel.

At the Cade, we believe so deeply in thinking and acting like an inventor that we gave it a name: Inventivity.® This exhibit is brimming with it.

The race is well underway, but it's never too late to jump in. So gear up, strap in, and take a lap

GEORGE WASHINGTON April 30, 1789 - March 4, 1797

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefito, and humbly to implore his protection and favor

SERVICE

"Let me serve voluntarily; then I will, with the greatest pleasure in life, devote my services to the expedition without any other reward, than the satisfaction of serving my country"

RELIGION

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports."

CHARACTER

"To the distinguished Character of Patriot, it should be our highest Glory to add the more distinguished Character of Christian.

When Iran’s soccer captain offers more clear and direct support for LGBT people than the SF Giants leadership can muster for their own fans, it should be a wake-up call that Pride isn’t a celebration of victories won. It’s a reminder that those victories can disappear if we stop demanding better.

Babe Didrikson Zaharias--AP's Greatest Female Athlete of the 20th Century--was born #OTD in 1911. 3 Olympic medals 🥇 🥇 🥈 Track & Field, 1932 Founding member, LPGA 10 major LPGA championships #golf Only woman in history to make the cut in a PGA Tour event 3x All-American #basketball #SportsHistory

A four-panel grid composition showcases the extraordinary athletic versatility of Mildred Ella "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias (1911–1956), widely considered one of the greatest athletes in history. Each black-and-white historical photograph captures her focused, competitive expression across a different sport. The overall mood is one of pioneering power and focus, underscoring her historic significance as a multi-sport Olympic champion and co-founder of the LPGA.

In the top-left panel, she crouches on a golf green holding a club and placing a ball while wearing a striped short-sleeved shirt, trousers, gloves, and a visor. The top-right panel shows her mid-throw during a track and field event, body contorted dynamically in a white team uniform as she launches a javelin across a dirt stadium field. In the bottom-left, she wears a dark basketball jersey labeled "Babe’s" and smiles confidently, poised to pass an old-fashioned leather basketball. The bottom-right panel displays her in a loose-fitting baseball uniform and cap, glove ready, intensely tracking a play on the diamond.

#NASA computer scientist, mathematician, and rocket scientist Annie Easley developed code for the Centaur rocket stage, used to launch the Cassini probe. Her energy research laid foundations for hybrid vehicle batteries and solar/wind power. She died #OTD in 2011. #WomenInSTEM #computerscience

This historical photograph features Annie Jean Easley (1933–2011), a trailblazing NASA computer scientist and mathematician whose work on the Centaur rocket stage was pivotal to space exploration. Easley is shown in a medium shot, standing confidently in a NASA control room. She is dressed in a professional, pale peach-colored suit with a high-neck blouse and a matching scarf detail, accessorized with classic gold hoop earrings. Her expression is focused and resolute as she looks slightly past the camera, holding a wooden clipboard and pen as if in the middle of a technical evaluation.

The background is dominated by a massive, complex schematic control board filled with red lines, indicator lights, and technical labels. A small, yellowish-bordered inset photo on the wall depicts a laboratory setting. The composition places Easley as the central figure of authority within a highly technical environment. The mood is one of serious intellectual pursuit, capturing the dignity of a woman who broke racial and gender barriers to power the future of flight and renewable energy.
