Update on the Anonymous list
The content below the photo was posted on Rural and Progressive just before noon today (EST). Several news outlets had the same link and list attributed to the activitist/hacktivist group Anonymous, which claims to identify elected officials who are members of the KKK.(I have removed the links and video so they no longer work). Senator … Continue reading "Update on the Anonymous list"

Double entendre Friday
The Friday Photo October 16, 2015 My college friends repurposed a box so they could send me sweaters to repurpose. We attended a Quaker college. Using a Quaker oatmeal box is just too clever.
White people playing dress up
The Friday Photo October 9, 2015 I am so worn out with re-enacting the Civil War. We know the outcome of the war, but we still have work to do concerning the persistent racism and income equality stemming from the enslavement of Africans.
We do the same thing and expect different outcomes
The Friday Photo October 2, 2015 No photo today after yesterday’s news about ANOTHER mass shooting. What is wrong with us, America? Why do we continue to worship guns and mourn the dead?
It bears repeating
October has rolled around again. Think before you pink this month. What is missing from all the noise about breast cancer? Breast cancer survivors for Planned Parenthood Fracking for the cure Its October. I’m not wearing pink.
One of my favorite places

The needle hasn’t moved much since last year
This was originally posted last year on September 11. We continue to be a badly broken country in too many ways. No photo today. How we have failed since September 11, 2001 Tonight President Obama will address the nation about ISIS and any actions that we may take in response to the horrific murders of … Continue reading "The needle hasn’t moved much since last year"
Waiting on the sequel
The Friday Photo September 4, 2015 Are Yellow and Orange speaking? Is Beige getting the respect it deserves? My grandchildren and I will find out tomorrow when Drew Daywalt reads the sequel to “The Day the Crayons Quit” at the Decatur Book Festival.
Kim Davis does believe in divorce
Kentucky’s Rowan County Clerk of Courts, Kim Davis, has made quite a stink about her religious beliefs trumping her obligations to fulfill her duties as a taxpayer-paid elected official. Today she denied a marriage license to two men applying for one, saying she was denying the license under “God’s authority.” Davis’ version of Christianity allows … Continue reading "Kim Davis does believe in divorce"
Now she really is GuilfordJane
The Friday Photo August 28, 2015 Jane K Fernandes is truly #GuilfordJane now. She was presented with the original skeleton key and lock to Founders Hall during her inauguration Wednesday as Guilford College’s ninth President, and the first woman to serve in that role. Jane preferred a community-based event that celebrates Guilford. No academic regalia … Continue reading "Now she really is GuilfordJane"

Sharing the good news
The Friday Photo August 14,2015 When your friend sends the message you’ve been waiting for all week:
Another hurdle for “dormant” Plant Washington
The Carbon Pollution Standards for new power plants announced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on August 3rd confirm that Plant Washington will not get a “pass”, adding yet another hurdle to the development of one of the last proposed new coal plants in the country.

Sunday reads
Just some of the news I’ve been catching up on today: Maggie Lee at the Macon Telegraph has an article about last Monday’s carbon pollution rules and the shift already underway towards renewal energy sources in Georgia.

After the storm
The Friday Photo August 7,2015 With all the negative news about police actions, it was nice to see this lone officer helping people while I was on the way home from work yesterday.
Gun-toting Confederate flag wavers
A group of white people held a demonstration at Stone Mountain yesterday to support continuing the display of the Confederate flag at the state-owned park. Based on the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s photo gallery, people who think being armed to the teeth in public are hate flag wavers too, or they thought this would be a … Continue reading "Gun-toting Confederate flag wavers"
The view from Row 14
The Friday Photo July 31, 2015 We celebrated benchmark birthdays for my daughter and sister with tickets to see James Taylor tonight. Sometimes the best gifts aren’t things that can be wrapped.
Bobby Jindal doesn’t have much of an imagination
The Friday Photo July 24, 2015 I posted this photo as a Friday Photo on August 29, 2014, almost two months after Georgia’s Open Carry (Guns Everywhere) law, passed by the Georgia General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Nathan Deal, went into effect. Last night nine innocent people out for a night at … Continue reading "Bobby Jindal doesn’t have much of an imagination"
My family believes in paddling
The Friday Photo July 17, 2015 My extended family agrees that the best kind of vacation includes plenty of time outside. Our challenge isn’t what to pack to wear to dinner, but instead, how to get as many boats as possible to our destination.
