Will: Subscriber-driven model is pushing newsrooms leftward. β€œThe NYT is a very different newspaper from when it was largely supported by Bergdorf Goodman, Van Cleef & Arpels … and Saks Fifth Avenue.” Says new subscribers are ideological, and advertisers weren’t.

The Year We Banned Books

Making sense of the politics behind the unprecedented attacks on Texas school library volumes that deal with issues of race and gender.

This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.

The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for color #photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.

The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.

I looked up towns on the map where I know my Mom's family lived over the last 150-ish years, and they are on Cherokee land. At any rate, my Mom raised me to respect the Cherokee people, spirituality, and culture. When I was about 7 or 8, we visited Cherokee, NC; that was probably my first real lesson in diversity. I thank her for that. My biggest takeaway was about how they decided to go to war; women voted on if the reason for it was good enough to sacrifice their children, partner, etc.

Today is Native American Heritage Day in the USA. I'd like to honor that the indigenous people who inhabited the land on which I live in MD were Piscataway. Also, my Mom's folks came from the South, and several relatives are part Cherokee (East). My Mom's folks' oral history includes Cherokee and I was hoping 23 and Me would spot it. It didn't. My 2nd cousin and I were both surprised it didn't show up for either of us.
