Look what I found: an adorable hobbitlass and Brunhilde aka Broomhilda as a Disney Princess! (I am probably more accepting of the Disney Princess shtick than I should be, since I live with a little girl who loves them, but I see and agree with Ms. Washington's point).

Also, I found http://www.becauseofthemwecan.com . I have been looking for something to post about Black History Month that conveyed, well, what the month means to me, education, inspiration, knowledge of the past and hope for the future. This does so brilliantly. The photographer is Ms. Eunique Jones and here's an article about her project.

Neil Gaiman was right -- in response to life's tribulations, make good art. I'm really glad these lovely people did so, and the least I could do was to signal boost their work.
