@JoeFox Went on a monument research trip in 2021 for a project. Spent 5 days in DC, took many daytime photos, but no night pics as a woman alone. Thank you for this, and for sharing your work and wisdom.
DC at night—a special place in our country, reserved in honor of those who came before us. These spaces are part of the foundation of who we are today, as a nation and as a people.
Photos:
•“Three Soldiers,” Vietnam Veterans Memorial, gazing toward the names of the fallen on the nearby wall
•Vietnam Veterans Memorial, names of the fallen etched on the wall, with the Washington Monument in the background
•The Washington Monument, viewed from the Lincoln Memorial
•Inscription at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
•Korean War Veterans Memorial, honoring those who served
•Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln Memorial

14 months. Let that sink in. Fourteen months of waking up every single morning to a man who has weaponized his own existence into a 24-hour megaphone of pure, unfiltered, industrial-grade noise. A man so constitutionally incapable of silence that the world has collectively forgotten what a quiet Tuesday feels like.
And here is the truly spectacular part. We have nearly three full years left.
Three years. Not three weeks. Not three months. Three years before a cup of coffee is just a cup of coffee again. Before the birds outside your window are the loudest thing happening. Before some poor weather presenter gets to be the most alarming thing on television. Before diplomats can go back to being magnificently boring in very expensive suits. Three years before the sky stops looking like this.
The painting, at least, has the decency not to make a sound. The man does not share that quality. He has never once, in his entire adult life, looked at a room and thought: you know what this needs? Less of me.
And so here we are. Inside the painting. All of us. Waiting.
Hold on.

There is a danger in becoming used to violence.
When images of war, suffering, and loss no longer move us, we risk losing our sense of shared humanity. What should trouble us begins to feel normal.
We cannot afford to become numb.
Nonviolence calls us to remain aware, to remain compassionate, and to remain committed to protecting life, even when the world feels overwhelmed by conflict.

@historyinmemes Colourised footage of a member of the Federation of American Scientists and the national Committee on Atomic Information begging Albert Einstein to cosign a letter urging for the study of atoms to be used for mankind's progress, not destruction, 1946
A little joy for your day.
Even now, there is wonder.
Even now, there is awe.
Do not let the weight of the world blind you to the light within it.
Joy is still here. Seeing it is power, defiance, strength and a blessing.
