I'm jumping in on the Assignment 52; group, my second entry for: Week 6, Emotion.
So, so very glad I was able to save this lil' guy.

UPDATE: On June 20th, 2010 my precious Ben lost his battle. He had kidney problems that weren't noticeable until it was too late. He passed peacefully in my arms, I felt his last breath and heartbeat... and it crushed me.
He will be so, so, greatly missed. he was just 7 months old.
Unnatural Affections
One Pride Day in Toronto, I noticed a guy taking a million pictures of all the scandalous perverts, but pulling faces to clearly communicate his disapproval. Of course I had to photograph his performance. The moment he noticed, he rushed up and demanded I stop. I dedicate this to him and hope he found some kind of redemption in his collection of dirty, dirty pictures.
So, for your consideration, a set of illustrations taken from an encyclopaedic catalogue of human sexual diversity, chosen to poke at the way we run together moralizing with evidence-based medicine to produce ideas about what's healthy and what's criminal. Experts dissect and evaluate and problematize, religions vilify - and tourists walk around with cameras taking pictures and going EWWWWW!

This is pg. 1 of a multi-page layout. I used a page protector as the pocket to hold my ephemera and backed the ephemera with patterned paper.
Journaling on pg.2: Mom and Dad named me, “Lisa Noell,” with the intention of calling me, Noell. With one exception I have no memories of being called Lisa, and so I have don’t associate myself with that name...So it surprised me when I took a good look at my baby stuff. My baby announcement must have included both names together because the congratulations letters say, “Lisa Noell.” Plus, went beyond that. I have birthday cards that call me Lisa...I think Mom told me that Dad’s parents called me Lisa for a long time, as you see on the outside of the birthday card from Grandpa Buck. But even Mom’s sister-in-law, Aunt Leanna, called me Lisa in the one-year-old birthday card she sent me. ..This is all so strange to me because the only person I ever remember calling me Lisa (and only periodically out of affection) was Dad. Only when it’s his voice saying the name do I feel like it belongs to me. Whenever anyone else calls me Lisa I either don’t realize they mean me, or I feel like it’s a fake name.

Afro Mexican Men, 1910
During the slavery era within the Americas, Mexico and Peru combined were the largest importer of African slaves. The slave importing United States from the same era was the second.
As with their African Diaspora kinfolk in the U.S., other parts of North, Central and South America and in the Caribbean, they are able to claim a diverse "ethnic" heritage, coming in every beautiful and handsome shade of skin and etc.
We're related--you and I
You from the West Indies,
I from Kentucky.
Kinsmen--you and I,
You from Africa,
I from the U.S.A.
Brothers--you and I.
Brothers by Langston Hughes
This poem is pretty obvious as it embraces and celebrates a "one people" among African folk and people of African descent wherever they happen to be in the world.
These horses were being affectionate while waiting for the next customer. A fiacre (carriage) ride is a good way to see the sights.

Sometimes everything just doesn't make sense any more, and I often feel like I'm drowning in my own thoughts. Insecurity has begun to take it's toll and I apologise for the way it affects the people I love. I'm truly sorry.
I don't know if this little dog was her pet or if they were two strangers who just felt drawn to each upon first sight. Helsinki, Finland (Suomi ): this photograph may not be reproduced. (26 August, 2019)
This photo shows Moko and her child Leila that unfortunately drowned months later.I find this pic touching at least my soul because of the tender way Moko holds her child's hand.I know it's a bit out of focus - I focused on Moko and later at home saw this scene on my bigger monitor

“my mother, poor fish,
wanting to be happy, beaten two or three times a
week, telling me to be happy: "Henry, smile!
why don't you ever smile?"
and then she would smile, to show me how, and it was the
saddest smile I ever saw”
― Charles Bukowski
