Remembering Ida Dora Wyman on her birthday 🎂
📷 Undated self-portraits (1940s?)
"When people talk about the Photo League & Life magazine photographers, Ida’s name hasn’t often been in those conversations. But she was every bit as good as the better-known names."
- Sid Monroe
Every year, I wish for the same thing for my birthday — someone to watch the meteor shower with. Maybe someday.
Until then, watching it from a rural dirt road in a somnolent Italian community isn’t a bad option. Hello to 26.
@kaemcd1@1a@JohnPGoodwin I follow lots of rescues and many of them take care of dogs breeders are done with. Breeders who don’t transfer dogs to rescues will euthanize dogs with undesirable traits or defects. :(
@1a@JohnPGoodwin We recently adopted a breeder surrender. He was underweight, unsocialized, and had callouses on his elbows from being kept in a kennel with no soft place to lay down. Better now, but follows us everywhere as he craves attention and it is obvious he fears being left alone.
@1a@JohnPGoodwin Local governments who support animal shelters should consider opening low-cost veterinary facilities in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods.
@1a@JohnPGoodwin Socioeconomic factors were not discussed. Populations with low income levels engage in backyard breeding for profit. Lack of access to low-cost spay & neuter procedures and accidental pregnancies directly impact the number of homeless pets.
