Take that Great Britain and screw you all colonizers and imperialism (extremely derogatory).

What is the weather like with you? It's so soft and spring-like here that actually pink roses are out. So are the Christmas roses under the espalier pear-trees. I love Christmas; I shall always feel it is a holy time.
Katherine Mansfield in a letter to J. Middleton Murry dated 20 December 1922 featured in “The Letters of Katherine Mansfield vol. II”

On March 25, 1911, a fire broke out on the top floors of the Asch Building. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire took the lives of 146 people, most of them women and girls. As a NYC tour guide of over 15yrs, I speak about this site with vehemence. Never forget the importance of modern labor laws and the lives lost before we gained these rights. Andrea Janes and I wrote about this site, and its importance in the capacity of residual haunting, in our book A HAUNTED HISTORY OF INVISIBLE WOMEN. Our chapter on the fire, Industrial Monsters, is up on the Boroughs of the Dead blog: https://boroughsofthedead.com/industrial-monsters-ghosts-of-the-triangle-shirtwaist-factory/
Please support union workers and legislation aimed at shoring up worker protections. Honor the dead.

68 years ago today….
February 29th, 1956
————————————
Marilyn Monroe pays a fine to the state of Los Angeles after being summoned to court. She had three tickets against her: driving without a license, driving with an expired license and failure to show up when first summoned. She excused her absence with her studying acting in New York City. The judge was not having it and snapped back at her saying if he wanted to see her act he would pay to do so in a theatre.
