Chicago Teachers are on Strike, which is what 94% of the teachers and support staff voted for district wide. I happen to be lucky enough to have worked in this Chicago Public Schools District since 2001 when I became an Occupational Therapist for children with different ability levels. I love my students and I would rather be in school instead of marching outside on the streets. What a lot of people may or may or not know is that according to Illinois State Law, teachers can only strike over pay. So, our new Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot offered a 4% raise per year (16% over 4 years) in hopes that this would be enough.
But, this is not enough. Why? Because us teachers and clinicians are rebels. We don't do this for the money. We do this for the kids. We dare to dream of a world where we don't have to ask for a nurse, a library, and a social worker for all of our schools because in the suburbs, these are all given and more. Why should Chicago students have less? Why should Chicago students suffer with dirty classrooms? Are these good learning conditions? A few years back they tested the water fountains at school for lead and found at least 30% of those tested had lead and so they just stopped testing. And nothing was done about it. Are these good learning conditions? Chicago is plagued by classism and racism that forces many children into unsafe living environments but Lori Lightfoot would rather open up police stations than provide money for schools. Are these good learning conditions when our students come to school with toxic stress syndrome and no social worker is present to help them?
The answer in our hearts is no. And there isn't a law in existence that is going to keep Chicago teachers from fighting. I will fight. I will lose my pay. I will march in the cold. But, I will stand up for these children and it is an honor. They need to see this. They need to see their teachers love them and will fight for them to exist in a better world. To breathe. To be loved. To have a high quality of life. That is what the Chicago Teacher's Union Strike is really all about.

The letterbox that was attached to this support is in a worse state than the supports are. However the newer one which is attached to the fence above the remnants of its predecessor isn't in a much better state either!!
Better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
The interior of an old building showing a supporting structure of beams and columns designed to shore it up and prevent collapse.
I shot this photo to capture the shapes created by the steel work. The interior divided up into new frames and rectangles. I also wished to capture the contrasting textures of the old stone and rusting steel.

A sign of the times. No-one is safe ANYWHERE these days. Still, it was re-assuring to see some sort of armed rapid response unit was to hand.
I think the vehicle is an Audi Q7.

The sun was slowly setting, hiding behind the clouds. The last rays of sun illuminated the stones in the foreground, heating up the whole scene.
A few moments later, clouds began to turn red as a strong burst of light.
This shot was made with a combination of four photos made with a focus stacking method and a bracketing exposure.
I understand this debate has been going on for what feels like the dawn of time, but since I now own bjds myself I'd like to put in my two cents. If anything I really just want to show my support for dolls artists. Whether you are just getting started or from a well known company I appreciate your hard work. It breaks my heart that people don't take into consideration the absolute heart you put into your craft. Over this past year and a half I've been on Instagram I've had the pleasure of seeing some of your dolls come together. From idea sketches to official releases. I truly have a respect for your motivation and patience!

The lines from the edge of the pond lead nicely into the structure while the unfinished barn itself looks like something that just does not belong. Almost colorless, in need of support, not of nature, incomplete, it appears out of place. But does't that just describe many things that are somehow, out of place or in need of "support".

A series of photos from a walk up and over Coniston Old Man, a hill (or fell) in the English Lake District National Park on a bitterly cold day in late winter 2023.
Oggi vi faccio conoscere Montagnac, un paese della Linguadoca, oggi con poco più di 3000 abitanti, ma che in passato ha visto fama e splendori.
Questa è la chiesa di Sant'Andrea e rappresenta uno dei rari gotici del sud della Francia.
EGLISE SAINT ANDRE - Place Emile Combes
Par l’ampleur et l’ambition de sa construction, l’église St André autrefois « Notre Dame » témoigne de la prospérité économique de Montagnac à l’époque médiévale. Mentionnée dès 990 dans le Cartulaire d’Agde, l’édifice va connaître une construction évolutive du XIIIème siècle à la fin du XIVème siècle avec l’ouverture des chapelles latérales et la partie supérieure du clocher.
L’église, caractéristique par son style gothique méridional, ouverte par un large portail, surmontée d’une tour clocher, a été fortifiée et intégrée aux défenses de la ville. Munie d’un système de mâchicoulis, d’un donjon, l’église atteint une hauteur de 54,50 m depuis qu’elle se pare, en 1437 lors de la visite du dauphin Louis, de sa tour octogonale supportant une flèche qui arbore un chapeau chinois. Autour de la base de la flèche se trouve un système de canalisations ouvertes qui conduit les eaux pluviales vers quatre gargouilles cernées d’un décor de 40 grotesques, caricatures, dit-on, des vices des personnages importants du village ; enfin, à l’ouest, l’église arbore avec splendeur une rosace composée de vitraux à dominante rouge qui représentent quatre anges musiciens, ensuite quatre étoiles à cinq branches et enfin quatre ornements quadrilobés : au coeur de cette rosace se trouve un agneau couché sur un livre scellé de sept sceaux.
