When the hours spent on research are totally worth it....
(That's why this stage of the process is SO important to me)
I love photographs taken inside cathedrals/churches during the war. The compositions are usually very powerful, especially when you take the whole context into consideration.
I'm just about to "repaint"/colorize a stunning medieval stained glass - wish me luck

Amelia Earhart was declared dead #OnThisDay in 1939.

She was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

(The photo is from The Colour of Time tinyurl.com/y9ddsvzj)
Earhart was the daughter of Samuel "Edwin" Stanton Earhart and Amelia "Amy". She was born in Atchison, Kansas, in the home of her maternal grandfather, Alfred Gideon Otis, who was a former federal judge, the president of the Atchison Savings Bank.
According to family custom, Earhart was named after her two grandmothers, Amelia Josephine Harres and Mary Wells Patton. From an early age, Amelia was the ringleader while her sister Grace Muriel Earhart (1899–1998), two years her junior, acted as the dutiful follower.

(THREAD) Between 1892 and 1954, Ellis Island served as an immigration inspection station for millions of immigrants arriving into the United States. The first immigrant to pass though the station was 17-year-old Annie Moore from Cork, Ireland.
The first and second class passengers were considered wealthy enough not to become a burden to the state and were examined onboard the ships while the poorer passengers were sent to the island where they underwent medical examinations and legal inspections.
These images of people wearing their folk costumes were taken by amateur photographer Augustus Sherman who worked as the Chief Registry Clerk on Ellis Island from 1892 until 1925.

Trump is running about 15 minutes late for his press conference because he had a busy morning... ah..... tweeting.

Follow me for a video thread, whenever it gets going.
Trump had absolutely nothing on his public calendar this morning and he is 25 minutes late and counting for his news conference
TRUMP: "Last night to the Republican party defied history to expand our Senate majority while significantly beating expectations in the House for the midtown (sic)... and the midterm year."

He then pivots to bashing the media.

Hannity's presentation tonight is akin to 1980s WWF
Even though @Neilyoung detests Trump, the president is sullying his classic "Rockin' In The Free World" before he speaks at his rally in Missouri
Hannity is so worked up over a tasteless SNL skit that he's almost in tears.

"Are you proud of that Tom Brokaw?" he asks. "Where is Tom Brokaw, speaking out about this?"

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)

“I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE A HUMAN ANYMORE.”

Remember Cassandra C?

She was the 17 year old forced by the state to have chemo.

Everyone should know what forced treatment entails.

Excerpt from: NaturalNews.com naturalnews.com/050808_Cassand…
Cassandra was forced to take daily chemo under threats of 12 hour starvation—either she could take the chemo and eat...

...or be put on a 12 hr medical fast every day, knocked out, then chemo, and repeat for 5 months.

They also threatened to strap her down for 5 months.
The court agreed to the force partly based on the doctors’ testimony of how effective the chemo would be.

Below is an excerpt from “Judge: Cassandra C. Can't Go Home Amid Cancer Treatments” by Bill Briggs / Apr.01.2015 / NBC News

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
