I ride a lot of trains, and love them. It’s perfect when I find a subject sleeping, particularly someone as interesting looking as this young man. This time, I drew this on my iPhone. Here is the video grab.
I am annoyed that the Firefighters Union chose not to endorse anyone for President this year. In 2019; they endorsed Joe Biden. This smacks of white male bias against a very qualified brown woman, maybe I’m wrong.
Bruce Springsteen endorsed Harris yesterday.
I am a huge Bruce fan, saw him at Madison Square Garden in 1979. Hopefully he might sway some who are on the fence, diner setting and plaid shirt to boot. Who knows. But we need a groundswell of people coming out, celebs and Republicans. It can’t hurt!
Thanks for being here, happy Friday!
Springsteen and Obama did a great series of conversations together. Renegades,born in the USA 😎
You're not wrong about the firefighter's union. Trump (and Rs) are anti-union. A democratic endorsement should be in the bag. They endorsed Joe AND Barack, but withheld endorsement of Kamala AND Hillary. Hmmm....I wonder what the connecting thread is...
It's so disheartening. We have so far to go.
I just finished the book: Dying of Politeness by Geena Davis. Really fascinating. Her institute on gender studies does amazing work. There's a passage where she goes to studio execs about gender representation in children's shows (which were, at the time, mostly male). They didn't even see it until it was pointed out. One anecdote relayed a content creator saying he'd drawn a scene in a diner in which every character was male. "I'm the problem!" he admitted.
We need more enlightened people. Keep saying the truth. Someone will see it.
