Birds of The Harvard Museum of Natural History

Felt a separate post for the birds was warranted, the collection is huge. Everything from birds of prey, waterfowl, hummingbirds, and even a few extinct species.

Some of the parrots were looking a tad rough but you try to keep a corpse looking good for over a few decades.

Ann Lowe was not only one of the most talented designers in the fashion industry in the United States during the 20th Century, she was also and remains one of the most iconic couture fashion geniuses (her dresses/gowns are just GORGEOUS folks -please check out the links I provided below to see some of her work!).

Ann Lowe was also the first Black person in America to attend and graduate from the S.T Taylor School of Design in New York City -she studied in classrooms by herself due to racial segregation, and despite the racist systems isolating her continuously she went on to open three shops of her own in the same city she studied in, and designed some of the most photographed and talked about dresses in the world -namely, Jacqueline Kennedy's wedding dress.

You can start to read a little more about her story here:

This incredibly talented, beautiful, and intelligent Black woman was an iconic couture fashion designer, but a lot of her work was not well-known in the fashion industry until recently, because she was rarely acknowledged for her designs -the wealthy/affluent people who bought her pieces did not want people to know a Black woman was making them. Although Ann herself prioritized her craft and later retired from the industry in 1972, I wanted to talk about her today because I just found out about her (frustratingly so -I wish I knew about her sooner). And that her legacy will continue to remain for generations to come.

"She transformed the fashion landscape, and her designs will inspire generations to come."

1934 Packard Super Eight Sport Phaeton

This Model 1104 Dual-Cowl Sport Phaeton was constructed for the 1934 New York Auto Show. The unique color, dubbed “Orello” (a combination of orange and yellow) was never part of the Packard color catalogue, but one that could be seen in many adverts in the early 1930s. This rare example caught the attention of Herbert and Agnes Greer of Morganville, West Virginia while attending the New York Auto Show and purchased specifically for their 16-year-old daughter. She hated its color and complained it was difficult to drive. It remains in un-restored condition, though it still runs and drives as a Packard should!

SPECIFICATIONS Model: Super Eight Sport Phaeton Wheelbase: 142 inches Engine: 385 cu. In. Straight Eight Horsepower: 145 BHP @ 3600 rpm Transmission: Three speed-manual Brakes: Mechanical Drum Brakes Curb Weight: 4,645 lbs. Price When New: $3,180

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday in Chile that it was imperative for the United States to declassify documents that could shed light on Washington’s involvement in the South American country’s 1973 coup.

“The transparency of the United States could present an opportunity for a new phase in our relationship between the United States and Chile,” Ocasio-Cortez said in Spanish in a video posted on Instagram alongside Camila Vallejo, the spokesperson for the left-leaning government of President Gabriel Boric.

The Democratic congresswoman from New York is part of a delegation of lawmakers who traveled to the capital of Santiago ahead of the 50th anniversary of the coup against President Salvador Allende on Sept. 11, 1973.

The delegation had first traveled to Brazil and will now go to Colombia, both of which are also ruled by left-leaning governments.

The goal of the trip was to “start to change … the relationships between the United States and Chile and the region, Latin America as a whole,” Ocasio-Cortez said outside the Museum of Memory and Human Rights that remembers the victims of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who ruled from 1973 to 1990.

“It’s very important to frame the history of what happened here in Chile with Pinochet’s dictatorship. And also to acknowledge and reflect on the role of the United States in those events,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

Ocasio-Cortez said she has introduced legislation to declassify documents related to Chile’s coup and Vallejo said a similar request had been made by the Chilean government.

“In Chile as well, a similar request was made … that aims to declassify documents from the Nixon administration, particularly certain testimonies from the CIA director. This is to attain a clearer understanding of what transpired and how the United States was involved in the planning of the civil and military coup, and the subsequent years that followed,” Vallejo said. “This is very important for our history.”

U.S. Rep. Greg Casar, a Democrat from Texas, said after the delegation’s approximately hourlong visit to the museum in Santiago that it was important to recognize the “truth” that “the United States was involved with the dictatorship and the coup.”

“So that’s why we’re here,” Casar said in Spanish to journalists, “to acknowledge the truth, to begin a new future.”

U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro from Texas said the visit to the museum was a reminder that it was important “to make sure that a tragedy and a horror like this never, ever happens again in Chile or in Latin America or anywhere else around the world.”

Earlier in the day, the delegation also met with Santiago Mayor Irací Hassler.

Reps. Nydia Velázquez of New York and Maxwell Frost of Florida also traveled to South America as part of the delegation sponsored by the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a Washington-based think tank.
