🇺🇦After arriving in Kherson for my humanitarian trip, I paid my respects to the fallen Ukrainian heroes at Liberty Square. Their bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten🌅
🌏Let’s stand together in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. Our collective effort can make a positive difference.🕊️
“Does America need a more searing visual image than eight men working for their piece of the America dream — filling potholes on a terrifying bridge in 1 a.m. darkness — to understand that our nation was built by immigrants, runs on immigrant labor and needs immigrants?”
The 200th Birthday for the wonderful #RNLI today - this is our local wee boat at North Kessock, an inshore B class Atlantic 85 lifeboat passing Fort George. #heroes
I just can't understand how these people manage to stay strong.
120 days of death, destruction and sorrow. The emergency workers are the ones seeing and feeling the worse of the conflict.
I can personally relate to this picture. And the horrors have haunted me for decades. But those were nothing compared to what these guys have been witnessing daily.
Good Morning #Canada
Lucille Teasdale-Corti was born January 30, 1929 (died August 1, 1996) and was one of Canada’s first female surgeons. But her legacy was built in Uganda from 1961 until her death in 1996. Despite considerable hardship, including civil war and the AIDS epidemic, she cofounded with her husband a university hospital in the north of Uganda. An incredible story to read and share.
"I knowed his ma. They was good folks. He was full a hell, sure, like a good boy oughta be…He done a bad thing an’ they hurt ‘im, caught ‘im an’ hurt him so he was mad, an’ the nex’ bad thing he done was mad, an’ they hurt ‘im again. An’ purty soon he was mean-mad."
- J.S.,who really just wanted to be a fucking marine biologist, as evidenced in his conributions to Between the Pacific Tides, by his friend Ed Ricketts, yet much to his chagrin was relegated to authorship in depression era grit fiction, notable for his brutally honest naturalism, social commentary on extreme hardship, heartache, and subsequently immortalized in pen and celluloid.
Now you fucking know, bitches.
#tallship#lit#history#memoriam and #heroes, both celebrated and vilified; yet still one of my all time great inspirations as an artist. But just who was it he invoked that was so injuriously transfigured?
Can you haz #Cheezburgerz? 🍔 Can you? I doubt it. lemme know :p
The 39 Island Nations that will soon cease to exist are pissed they were left out of the COP28 final agreement. They then proceeded to list every loophole and carveout showing the entire conference was a pathetic joke
Good Morning #Canada
Remembrance Day is important for me as I try to honour the memory of my father who fought in WWII. He rarely spoke of his service but his war records show he fought in Italy, France and the Netherlands. November 11th is when I miss him the most.
I hope that all Canadians take 2 minutes at 11 am today to reflect on the veterans who fought in 2 world wars, and about our military who continue to protect us.
On Friday, June 4th, 2021, Officer Enmanuel ‘Manny’ Familia responded to a 911 call for a drowning of 14-year old boy, Troy Love in Green Hill Pond in Worcester, Massachusetts. Unfortunately, Officer Familia and Troy Love did not make it out of the water alive.
In honor of Manny, please join us in continuing his legacy by donating to the The Manny 267 Foundation
I read a dad's post today about how hard it was for his kids to remain masked at school when everyone else is unmasked. It takes such courage. I made this for all the kids still masking. I applaud you and thank you. Please feel free to print it out and give it to your little heroes. #CovidIsNotOver#NotAllHeroesWearACape But they do #WearAMask#covid#maskup#heroes#resistance#solidarity
