Yesterday

I know that what I am about to share is sort of silly, but share it I will. A few years' back I met a local artist at a holiday craft show and somehow found out that she happened to be the daughter of my kindergarten teacher. I had also met her Dad way back when; he was German. I follow this artist's work on Instagram. Recently, I noticed her using a non-Caucasian fist emoji (have I lost you yet?) and wondered why. Her married surname is Spanish. She herself is neither Latina, nor, as we now say, a person of color. So, why, might she be using the beige-colored emoji for self-representation? Is this akin to some sort of brown face? I am over-thinking it? 

After work last night I came out of the Ferry Building to this sight--

DJT and his good buddy, Epstein.

Some dude, armed with a projector and some slides, was bringing the Xmas cheer with this timeless image of these two, nasty men. He then moved on to 'FREE PALESTINE' as I was making my way to the train.
