Message on the marquee on L.A.'s iconic French Baroque style, built in 1931! An important message during these times!
It's important to revisit the words of Martin Luther King (on all days) but I took a moment this morning to revisit the words of Angela Davis, too.

September 15, 2017 broke cool and pristine in the early morning. Prior to daybreak, I arrived at Togue Pond Gatehouse in Maine’s Baxter State Park excited to hike the varied trails throughout the area to fulfill my dream of photographing BSP’s magnificent landscapes as my wife and son were conquering the summit of Mount Katahdin and celebrating her completion of the thru hiking the Appalachian Trail. This is the first image of an epic day!
Happy first day of Spring! 💐Happy Vernal Equinox! Happy Aries season! And also, my water bill is due today. 😬
I’m reposting this image and my original caption because it seems appropriate (again, unfortunately) after more tragic, hateful losses in the USA this past week. Springtime calls for great change — bringing light to what was once shadowed; beckoning the cold, bare terrain to grow once again. Over the course of our existence, opportunities for learning and growing seem to always cycle through — so long as we have the courage to feel the discomfort of the growing pains. I truly believe we humans can do better (I mean, I know I am far from perfect), and there is always room for us to grow with the seasons...

We live in a colorful world, filled with a wide assortment of pigmentation. From the flowers to the sky, the humans to the skyscrapers — every facet of life is painted with a variety of colors. 🎨 Maybe this is by mistake. Maybe it’s on purpose. ♀️ Either way, this fact is to our good fortune, because to exist in a monotonous world — a world lacking in diversity — sure wouldn’t be as beautiful or interesting... 🤔💭💐

Start with our families, of course we don't always agree, but we do really love one another right? Which means there must be a solution to the problem so let's sit down, talk it over quietly, appreciate and respect one another and find
a mutual solution that satisfies everyone. Realizing that we all have to give a little. Continue on into the work environment and make the same changes.
If we the people can do this in our homes and work environments then surely we can make the change in villages, cities, states, provinces and countries, finding a way to stop the worst evil of all, WAR!
Let's all make a genuine effort, don't put "me" first, put "us" first and life will surely get better!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️

The singer calling herself "Aniiml" ( pronounced "Animal") performed at the SacPride 2019 fair (after the march). I recognized the musical and lyrical styles from somewhere. After a little while, I realized that I'd seen her a few years prior (2016), performing at the Whole Earth Festival as "Lila Rose," with a different band. I recognized her, initially, by her feet. Later, her forearm tattoos ("animal" and "heart") confirmed it.
As we all get ready to welcome in 2007, please think about helping to make 2007 a year without hate...learn more about how you can erase hate and hate related crimes:

On the second day of the fascist Moms for Liberty meeting in Philadelphia, protests continued at 12th and Market, at the Central Library and at 12th and Filbert.
Protests will continue Saturdat, July 1st.

Ada has an impressive vocal range. I'd guess 5+ octaves — right up there with, or beating Axl Rose and Mike Patton.

Marche contre le racisme anti-asiatique / March against anti-asian racism
MARCHE CONTRE LE RACISME ANTI-ASIATIQUE
www.facebook.com/events/1037788166710375
Le mois de mars marque la commémoration d’un an de la pandémie de COVID-19 au Québec. Bien que l’espoir soit à l’horizon avec des mesures strictes de prévention sanitaire et l’arrivée de vaccins, la montée du racisme anti-asiatique semble s’aggraver.
Depuis le début de la pandémie, les membres des communautés asiatiques du Québec ont été physiquement et verbalement agressés, poignardés et même frappés par des voitures. Nos artefacts religieux, culturels et nos commerces ont également été vandalisés.
En Amérique du Nord et partout au Canada, les membres des communautés asiatiques et des peuples autochtones sont attaqués. Vancouver a signalé une augmentation de 717 % des crimes haineux contre les Asiatiques, tandis que le SPVM a signalé une augmentation de cinq fois plus de crimes haineux envers les asiatiques.
Alors que nous regardons les reportages d’Atlanta sur le tireur qui a assassiné 6 femmes asiatiques hier, nous essayons toujours de comprendre la violence dans nos propres communautés. Pas plus tard que cette semaine à Montréal, un homme d’origine coréenne a été attaqué au gaz poivré en plein jour. N'oublions pas le double délit de fuite à Brossard, en septembre, qui tua deux personnes de nos communautés: Huiping Ding (45 ans) et Gérard Chong Soon Yuen (50 ans).
Les communautés asiatiques du Québec en ont assez. Nous descendrons dans la rue le dimanche 21 mars, à l’occasion de la Journée internationale pour l’élimination de la discrimination raciale, pour nous élever contre le racisme anti-asiatique et toutes les formes de discrimination raciale. ***Les masques et la distance sociale seront maintenus, ainsi que la possibilité de participer virtuellement.***
Joignez-vous à nous à 13 h à Cabot Square, où nous nous rendrons à Chinatown pour exiger que le gouvernement prenne des mesures efficaces pour mettre fin à la discrimination raciale.
Solidaires,

Après la marche, Stella, l’amie de Maimie, une organisation de travailleurs et travailleuses du sexe, organisera une veillée dans le quartier chinois pour commémorer les victimes de l’attaque contre les salons de massage asiatiques à Atlanta. Ce sera l’occasion pour les collectivités touchées de pleurer ensemble en toute solidarité et d’honorer la vie de ceux que nous avons perdus et d’attirer l’attention sur les conditions des travailleuses du sexe.

MARCH AGAINST ANTI-ASIAN RACISM
www.facebook.com/events/1037788166710375
The month of March marks the one-year commemoration of the covid-19 pandemic in Québec. Although hope is on the horizon with strict health prevention measures and the arrival of vaccines, the rise of anti-Asian racism appears to be worsening.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, members of Asian communities in Québec have been physically and verbally assaulted, stabbed, and even hit by cars. Our religious, cultural and commercial artefacts have also been vandalized.
This is in line with what has been happening across North America. Across Canada, members of other Asian communities and Indigenous peoples have also been attacked. Some have been mistaken for being of East Asian descent. Vancouver reported a 717% increase in anti-Asian hate crimes while the SPVM reported a five-fold increase in hate crimes towards asian communities.
As we reel from the reports from Atlanta of the gunman who murdered 6 Asian women yesterday, we are still trying to make sense of the violence in our own communities. Just this week in Montreal, a man of Korean origin was attacked with pepper-spray in broad day light. Let’s not forget the double hit-and-run in Brossard in September, which killed two members of our communities: Huiping Ding (age 45) and Gérard Chong Soon Yuen (age 50).
Asian communities in Québec have had enough. We are taking to the streets on Sunday March 21, on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to stand up against anti-Asian racism and all forms of racial discrimination.
***Masks and social distance will be maintained, as well as the option to participate virtually.***
Please join us at 1:00pm at Cabot Square, where we will march to Chinatown to demand effective government action in ending racial discrimination.
In solidarity,
Progressive Chinese of Québec
Groupe d’entraide contre le racisme des asiatiques du Québec
Following the march, Stella, l’amie de Maimie, an organization by and for sex workers, will be hosting a vigil in Chinatown to commemorate the victims of the attack on Asian massage parlors in Atlanta. This will be a moment for affected communities to grieve together in solidarity and to honour the lives of those we’ve lost and to bring attention to the work conditions of Asian sex workers.

Thanks to Izzyexile for the help with identifying the gentleperson in Pink.
In any case, my flags are:
* Foot fetish (the large one) this is my primary ID, whether or not the LGBTQIA+ community accepts it as valid or not. I’ve known since first grade that I’m attracted to womens’ feet. I was also diagnosed with dyslexia at the same age, but “neurodiversity” was not at thing. Also, fetishism was, at that time, considered a mental illness — kind of like other non-normy IDs.
...and from top on the smaller sign:
* Greyromantic -- on the aromantic spectrum, but capable of romance occasionally, and under certain circumstances
* Nebularomantic -- difficulty differentiating between romantic and platonic love and understanding romantic love; reserved for neurodivergent folks
* Neurodiverse/Neurodivergent -- in my case, dyslexia, atypical ADHD and migraines. There also appears to be a strong correlation between neurodivergent people and kink/fetishes.
I’ve been made to feel incredibly small about all of these, especially my foot fetish — by multiple people who claimed to love me, including intimate partners, and been referred to therapy to be “cured” — guess what? I, too, was born this way, and, to their credit, the therapists eventually acknowledged this.

Thank you very much for your kind time
Here's a humble #message to the #armed #forces all #around the #world and #military #people
as well as people who are in one way or another armed with #weapons to #kill #other #human #beings in #war or #otherwise:
Please #stop and #put #down your #guns and #weapons, we are human beings and we have something called #brains and #rationale,
let's stop #fighting like #savages and #beasts and let's start acting like human beings once and for ever.
#Killing does not #help, #hurting others does not help, it just makes things #worse, for thousands of years people have come and gone #reminding us of this #true #fact that we must #love and not #hate.
This fact is not very #difficult to #believe and #trust since we have had #wars and #killings going on for ever and it has never proved #useful or #helpful and it is still going on #uselessly.
If you #agree, #please #say: '#YES!'
#PutDownYourGuns #PleaseStopKillingPeople #StopHate #LoveAll
And #thanks #for #sharing
It goes without saying having #done with the #armies, there would be so #much #money to #make #schools and #hospitals to #educate and improve #life #styles in stead of #destruction there will be wise #construction :) #Peace
