Organ Grinders and Their Monkeys Once Entertained on DC Sidewalks

From the late 19th to mid 20th centuries, organ grinders and monkeys provided entertainment on D.C. sidewalks, though not all enjoyed the show.

I just learned that Threads is sharing with the fediverse. I'm [email protected] there, and I post far more often there than here. You can follow that account here, if you'd like.
Some hard truth here.

Here's a parable for your Sunday morning.

Whenever the king became displeased with one of his subjects, he would send out his soldiers, and before long the offender would find themselves in the basement of the king’s finger-taker.

As a blind Mastodonian who is made happy by alt text every day, I'd like to request anyone who feels inclined or able, to post and describe insects. I've really enjoyed the occasional alt text describing flying and crawling things.

Hi, I’m Emily! (for now) #introduction

I’m a recently hatched trans computer science professor in Texas. I’m married to a wonderful supportive wife and have two young boys. I’m out to some close friends and most family. Not out at work yet, but maybe someday soon.

When I get a moment to myself, I like to play video games, mostly metroidvanias, RPGs, and puzzle games. I used to swing dance, but kind of burned myself out. I’m also a giant math nerd.

@joqatana OMD, that face! That smooshable face!
@jeridansky It's a good thing because she is so much a PUPPY!!!! Good thing we have a great trainer or I'd be losing my mind.
