For throwback Thursday
Daycare WD the first day omega bean had to go to daycare (after their parents separated them) 🥺🥺🥺
You hated it, you hated every bit of this. You didn’t want to be here, you didn’t want to be in this strange scary place without Steve or Bucky. You didn’t want to make new friends and have to do this without the alphas you left behind.
You were confused why they couldn’t have come with you, why they had to stay behind. It wasn’t right, it didn’t feel natural to be here without the alphas you had become best friends with.
You started the morning crying, begging your mom and dad to go home, to go back to Steve and Bucky. You had started holed yourself up in your room while you dad got your things ready and your mom tried to coax you out of your room, begging and pleading with you to try this new school. You hadn’t understood what was happening, you didn’t quite grasp why you needed to be separated from the two boys you were so close with.
“It’s not fair.” Had been one of the only things you had spoken to your mom when she started to drive to your new daycare. You had told her over and over again that you didn’t want this, that you didn’t want to go without them.
“I don’t wanna go! Momma!” You screamed and kicked, you had fought against the daycare teachers who tried to take you in.
You kicked, screamed and cried so hard you had nearly gotten sick. You spent the first few days stuck in a cycle of tears and sickness, homesickness for the two alphas you got separated from, until the second week in your new daycare when you had finally stopped.
It had been two weeks since you’d started; Steve and Bucky weren’t coming for you.
You didn’t know if you would ever see them again.

I drew Josiah Walls, So today I'll be talking about the poll tax in Florida (a place with so many alligators and crocodiles sweet Jesu-). So by the end of the Civil War, African Americans made up nearly half of the population of Florida. As in other Southern states, most Black people in Florida before the Civil War were enslaved people and none had the right to vote...the passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870 extended the right to vote to all citizens regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. A closer evaluation of the 15th Amendment indicates that it states the right to vote cannot be denied because of race. Which they should've followed but they outright IGNORED it...and as a result other methods of voter suppression, such as poll taxes and literacy tests, were used to get around the wording of the amendment and effectively disenfranchise African Americans in the election process. Florida was the first ex-Confederate state to use the Poll Tax as an effective barrier to prevent Black people from voting.White lawmakers in Florida had a strategic reason to fear newly empowered African American voters at the end of the Civil War. Black people made up about 45% of Florida’s population and thousands of white residents had lost their right to vote because of their Confederate ties. By 1867, there were 15,434 Black voters registered in Florida and just 11,148 who were white.Soon after the Civil War, there was an explosion in the number of Black voters (male only) and Black elected officials. Nineteen Blacks were elected to the 76-member Florida Legislature in 1870. During this election, Josiah Walls, a former slave, and Union soldier from Alachua County became Florida’s first Black member of Congress. Walls would be the only Black member of Congress from Florida for the next 116 years! In 1889, Florida’s Legislature adopted a $2 annual poll tax as a requirement for voting. On the surface, there was nothing discriminatory about the tax. Both whites and Blacks had to pay it. In reality, the legislators knew that the $2 tax (which is $74 today now) would affect Black people more because they were overwhelmingly poor. Although some poor whites were also disenfranchised, they could often find ways to circumvent the tax. Political candidates for example, often paid the cost to entice white voters to support them. Election officials frequently “overlooked” the tax for whites without legally coming into conflict with the 15th Amendment.Florida officially abolished the poll tax on June 14 in 1941. This was due to so many candidates trying to buy votes by paying the tax. U.S. Sen. Spessard Holland of Florida would be one of the leaders pushing to abolish the tax in federal elections. In 1964, the 24th Amendment was adopted abolishing the poll tax in all federal elections. It would take the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, however before the majority of African Americans in Florida could register to vote. Wow... Florida lawmakers were actually afraid of black people would have equal human rights as they should and that they would get involved in politics if they wanted to and potentially win...and they knew that black people were half of the Florida's population.

Throwback Thursday: It was 5 years ago when we were celebrating award season for The Shape Of Water, and I got to live my dream of being in an old musical dance number (dressed as an Amphibian Man, of course) with the amazing Sally Hawkins.

Late August and Transitioning into Early Fall
Been staying up late most nights lately and usually sleeping until late morning. It seems to help with my depression and anxiety. I generally do better research and writing in the overnight hours when the house and neighborhood are quiet. Of course my mom worries about me keeping such odd hours and sleeping so much during the day. As of right now it’s not effecting my anxiety or even blood…

Throwback Thursday: This 1860s greeting card sent to Princeton student George Sheldon, Class of 1863, proves it isn't just our own generation that is obsessed with cats.

Today I drew Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And today I'm going to talk about Detroit walk to freedom.It happened in June 23rd in 1963 in Detroit, Michigan. It was a massive march during the Civil Rights Movement, there were 125,000 participants and spectators present, which made it the LARGEST Civil Rights demonstration in the nation's history prior to the March on Washington in Washington DC in August 1963. The March was organized by Rev. Clarence LaVaughn Franklin (He was the father of Aretha Franklin and Rev. Albert B. Cleage) Franklin and Cleage as well as other organizers for the Detroit Council for Human Rights have planned the march. Cleage wanted the march to be all Black and led by Black people only but National Association for the Advancement for Colored People basically were like 'Hey umm we're going to boycott the march if you didn't include white leaders into the march' so of course Cleage changed his mind. The March had 3 goals, to speak out against the segregation and the brutality they experienced regularly in the South, addressed concerns in the urban North that included employment and housing discrimination and de facto school segregation. The March was intended to raise funds and awareness for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Coincidentally at that day was also the 20th anniversary of the Detroit Race Riot. So the majority of the marchers were Black, but there were also white participants such as Michigan governor John Swainson, Detroit mayor Jerome Cavanagh,the president of the United Auto Workers, Walter Reuther and Billie S. Farnum. George Romney was unable to attend because he needed to attend the service of the Church of Latter Day Saints.The march started around 3 p.m. on both Woodward Avenue and Adelaide and it continued along Jefferson and it concluded at Cobo Arena and Hall, the song 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' was sung during the march and people carried banners and signs. The march lasted about 90 minutes and was highlighted by a speech from you guessed it Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. which was 'I Have a Dream' . There were also other speakers included such as Charles Diggs, Cleage, Reuther and Swainson. And 20,000 people in 2013 celebrated the 50th anniversary of the march including Martin Luther King lll,Dave Bing,Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

12 years ago today I took this picture on a short walk from my house with a really cheap camera, and for the first time it occurred to me that you don’t have to go to some exotic place or have an expensive SLR camera with lots of lenses in order to take beautiful pictures. Just show up somewhere while the world is being beautiful and do the best you can. And that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.

Mantis Shrimp, Seamount High, Sea-nior Class of 1984
Voted: Best Eyes & Most Likely to Start a Fight Favorite quote: “Party on, dudes.”
The mantis shrimp is truly bodacious—its radical colors and totally tubular eyes (they can move each eye independently!) are out of this world. It also packs a gnarly punch—capable of cracking glass—making it one of the baddest stomatopods around 💪😎
Rock on mantis shrimp, don’t ever change, and let’s hang out this summer!!
