This is part of Ang Bagoong Lipunan's tribute in commemoration of the Diliman Commune, where we intend to publish in the next nine days, image composites in this theme, as part of our fictional storyline.
This is the third artwork I could find which was completed in honor of the victims of the Parkland shooting and their cause, and which is licensed to allow others to share it. This drawing is by Alex Hiam who posted it with the message: "Inspired by the kids protesting in Florida. They need our support". Alex is also on Flickr, and other work by the artist can be seen here:

The Morris Mini-Traveller was launched in the public arena in autumn 1960. This was an estate version with windows of the Morris Mini-Minor four-seater small car that had been launched in 1959.
When I was 18 years old, I had a boyfriend who drove a Morris Mini-Traveller. He took me to his local pub and put a 10p piece in the pub’s fruit machine. He somehow managed to win the jackpot but the machine only paid out in tokens which had to be spent in the pub. It was almost 10pm so boyfriend recommended I tried a triple vodka + grapefruit juice. With one token left, he put it in the fruit machine and won again! It was a race to consume another 2 drinks before the pub called time! I was not a well bunny and he was too frightened to take me home as I was almost green in colour! I have never touched vodka since.

That's it folks, another 365 project under my belt. This makes the 3rd time I have taken on this feat (selfies, macro, textured) and I can honestly say this will be the final attempt at such a project. Yes, I know, I said that after each of the first two but I am certain that this will NEVER happen again. I thought this edition would be easy as the image could be anything but what I have learned from this round is that many photos don't take kindly to having a texture added to them, so each day was a struggle to find images that would texture well.
Now, maybe I can concentrate on more fun shooting and not have to worry about getting that daily shot in. Sometimes I think that was all I was shooting for and it limited me. So, here's hoping 2014 will be shot differently.
For those of you who followed this journey, thanks for your interest and comments along the way.

On 24 March 2018 In DC and other cities, hundreds of thousands of students and others marched to demand common sense gun control in the wake of deadly school shootings in the U.S.

Leather fetishists at SF Pride
For June 12th, 2018, closing in on the second anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub Massacre in Orlando, Florida, there were nationwide protests led by youth to call for better gun regulations and safer schools. The cause became even more urgent in the wake of the Stoneman Douglas School Shooting in Parkland, Florida, on March 7, 2018, and the continued refusal by politicians funded by the National Rifle Association to do anything about gun violence.
As the Pulse had been a nightclub catering to gay men and transgender women of Latino/Latina backgrounds, there was a lot of intersectional advocacy at the protest on behalf of LGBT and people of color communities as well.
I was honored to witness the Los Angeles rally and die-in next to City Hall.
The keynote speaker was actress Alyssa Milano.
San Francisco Pride 2025. This was my first time participating as a marcher in any Pride parade, and to have be in SF… well, that was one of the highlights of my life.
Eventually, there were 7 of us, but we were semi-officially attached to State Senator Scott Wiener's contingent, so we were in position 27 of around 210. This means we didn't have to wait too long to start the parade, and the crowd was still at the peak of fierce, joyful energy.
The Boston event began at 9AM in Roxbury at the Madison Park Technical & Vocational High School, from where students and supporters marched down Columbus Ave through Boston's South End to Park Square, ending on Boston Common our a massive rally. While police estimated that 50,000 people marched, that doesn't include the many thousands who lined the march route, held signs, and cheered on the marchers, or the many people who attended the rally on Boston Common but did not march. Organizers estimated that more than 100,000 people marched and rallied on Boston Common, which is easy to believe seeing photos of the event.

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Thousands of protesters armed with placards filled most of Whitehall outside Downing Street. They were rallying to demand that prime minister Theresa May repudiate Donald Trump's shameful blanket entry ban on all Syrian, Iraqi, Somali, Yemeni, Iranian, Sudanese and Libyan nationals for the next 90 days as well as the indefinite ban on all Syrian refugees.
Some also demanded that his planned state visit as a guest of the queen be revoked and that the British government also take decisive action to help desparate refugees and ease the conditions within the UK for asylum seekers.
An estimated ten thousand gathered outside Downing Street including human rights activist Peter Tatchel, former England striker Gary Lineker and singer Lily Allen.
Among the most frequent chants heard were "May shame on you", "dump Trump", "build bridges not walls" and "refugees are welcome here". Protesters pointed out that all the countries effected were Muslim majority nations and yet none of the countries targeted had any nationals implicated in any recent terrorist attack within the United States.
Ironically it is US foreign policy in the Middle East, including years of bombing and support for regional dictators that is one of the main causes of the current refugee crisis.
never again to feel her small hand in mine

never again to see her small feet dance

CLOSE THE CAMPS - Day 28 of a month of actions outside ICE San Francisco
August 28 - Day 28 - Fat & Disability Communities Unite to CLOSE the Camps!
An amazing and powerful turnout by the Fat & Disability communities to Day 28 of this month of noon rallies in front of ICE in San Francisco!
From the organizers of Day 28:
"Calling all Fat people, all Disabled people, all Seniors, all our loved ones, and anyone who has experienced being separated, shut away, controlled, disposed of, incarcerated in prisons, nursing homes, fat camps, psych institutions, or generally told they are the problem for society’s woes to UNITE in solidarity with migrants. Together we demand an end to the brutal treatment of migrants, an end to concentration camps, and an end to ICE. We know Disabled POC are at greater risk for incarceration and deportation. And we know that part of disability justice means we must absolutely hold community members whose impairments are created intentionally as a result of state terror, incarceration, border policing, war, and so many tools of domination. As Disabled and Fat people of many communities, we know and therefore must insist:
NO BODY IS DISPOSABLE!
WE ARE RESILIENT AND STILL HERE!
WE WILL NOT ALLOW THE ERASURE OF IMMIGRANTS!"
----------
This rally was part of the Month of Momentum: 30 Days of Action to Close the Camps (ICE SF)

Rescheduled from 2020, part of Cape May MAC’s annual Lessons of History Distinguished Lecture Series, the play is a faithful and humorous depiction of President Harry S. Truman’s life and presidency
(June 10, 2021) CAPE MAY – There are fewer than dozens of living direct descendants of U.S. presidents, and just one who steps into the role of his presidential ancestor on stage. Actor Clifton Truman Daniel brings to life his grandfather, President Harry S. Truman, in this fall’s production “Give ’Em Hell, Harry!” at Cape May Convention Hall, 714 Beach Ave. on Sunday, Oct. 10 at 5 p.m. The performance is a faithful and often humorous portrayal of President Truman’s life and presidency that has garnered awards and accolades since its premiere in 1975. Since October 2017, Daniel has performed the role, marking the first time a U.S. president has been portrayed onstage by a direct descendant. This performance originally scheduled in 2020 is rescheduled to 2021.
Cape May MAC (Museums+Arts+Culture)’s Lessons of History Distinguished Lecture Series presents a national speaker every year in October in an engaging and in-depth talk on an important topic of history. This is the ninth event in the series and the first time a performance, rather than a lecture, will be featured. The play spans Truman’s childhood, his “political apprenticeship” as a judge in Jackson County, Mo., his years in the U.S. Senate and his momentous two terms as president. Set in a recreation of the Oval Office, the play is a historically accurate portrayal of the 33rd president of the United States, teeming with delightful humor. The title comes from an incident that took place during the 1948 presidential election campaign. In Bremerton, Wash., Truman delivered a speech attacking the Republicans. During the speech, a supporter yelled out, “Give ‘em Hell, Harry!” Truman replied, “I don’t give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them, and they think it’s Hell.” Subsequently, “Give ‘em Hell, Harry!” became a lifetime slogan for Truman supporters.
The one-man show about the life and presidency of Harry S. Truman, who took office after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945 and served until 1953, is remarkable for several reasons. First, it's pretty cool that we ... have the opportunity to see a U.S. president portrayed by his grandson on stage ... It's also comforting to be reminded that we once had a president of the United States who was not only as tough as nails but also fair-minded, decent and well-read. ...

At one point, we are treated to a flashback of Truman delivering a speech on the Senate floor on wealth inequality and the corruption of big business, which doesn’t feel too far out of place with the sort of thing you might hear from someone like Bernie Sanders in 2018. At points when we hear Truman discuss controversial decisions such as the bombing of Hiroshima, or his disdain for pre-Trump extremists such as Joseph McCarthy, it’s easy to draw parallels between more modern presidents, such as President Obama, and the thinking that often went behind their decision-making processes as president ...

Cape May Lessons of History Distinguished Lecture Series 2012-present
The series began in 2012 with an inaugural lecture by Dr. Myles Martel, entitled, "Ronald Reagan's Legacy: Lessons for Today's Citizen Leaders." Martel launched the Lessons of History series with his unique perspective on what made Ronald Reagan one of the most transformative presidents of the 20th century - insights he gained first-hand as he personally coached Reagan for his outstanding performance during the 1980 presidential debates.
In 2013, speaker Harold Holzer presented "Lessons from Lincoln: The Poetry and Prose of Freedom," which explored how, more than a century and a half ago, Abraham Lincoln made history twice, both in deed and word, first by ushering in freedom from slavery with his Emancipation Proclamation and second by celebrating its "new birth" with his Gettysburg Address.
In 2014, David O. Stewart, author of the book by the same name, presented "The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution," which explored the conflicts and hard bargaining that invented a government to meet the crises of the not-quite-united states - huge debts, hostile neighbors, armed rebellion, and the very real prospect of dissolving into three nations or more.
In 2015, Col. Cole Kingseed, Ph.D. presented "D-Day: Why it still matters: How America's European war established the United States as a global power," which explored the ramifications of the Allied victory on June 6, 1944, not only on the course of World War II, but also as the pivotal step in the United States' rise to global dominance.
In 2016, The Honorable Joan Dempsey presented "Our Nation's Security: How Intelligence History Affects the Future," in which she drew on more than 45 years of intelligence and policy experience, combined with her rare position as a senior political appointee in both Republican and Democratic presidential administrations, to share the ultimate insider's perspective on the history of modern U.S. intelligence.
In 2017, U.S.C.G. Admiral Thad Allen presented "Always Ready: Stories of Leadership and Unity During Crisis," in which he explored the aspects and qualities of leadership during crises, sharing stories of leadership during such disasters as Hurricane Katrina and the BP Oil Spill.
In 2018, Professor Natalia Mehlman Petrzela presented “Women and Children First?: #MeToo, #NeverAgain and the New Faces of American Activism,” which explored American activism’s powerful new voices and faces that are overwhelmingly young and female.
In 2019, Lee Pollock presented “Roosevelt and Churchill: The Friendship That Saved the World,” which delved into this grand alliance which saved democracy and freedom during the world’s darkest hour, carried their nations to victory and laid the geopolitical foundation that defines much of the world we know today.
