This fluorescent pink placard stops you in the frame, the hand-lettered line, "OLD Pussies RISE UP and RESIST," reading like a shouted rallying cry.

Creases, bundled hats, and a white-haired profile suggest a close, determined crowd that mixes sharp humor with steady insistence. We're sharing this piece because it blends that wit and resolve so plainly.

Of all my protest shots, THIS ONE tells the most in-a-nutshell story from a New Jersey detention center: a child on an adult’s shoulders holds a handmade sign that reads "Families Belong Together" at a protest near Newark Airport.

Tiny hand, big message—signs and faces overlap in a steady, collective push that feels protective and insistent. It’s a quiet, human moment with a clear voice. Which detail pulls you in?

I'm sharing an image from the 2017 Washington, DC Women's March: a marcher's sign reads "OUR BLOOD IS BOILING OUT OF OUR WHEREVERS."

The bold red letters cut through a muted winter park and turn a private feeling into a public call. The marcher’s calm smile and small, lived details, like worn canvas sneakers, damp grass, and a line of people fading into the distance, keep the moment grounded and human.

We talk a lot about love in February, but it’s just as important to turn a little of that inward.

Take a moment today to show yourself some appreciation — whether that’s a walk, a quiet pause, or simply enjoying “Exercise your Empathy.”

A little self-kindness goes a long way.
