#OTD Anna Seward, #English #Romantic #Poet, is born.
She was often called the Swan of Lichfield.
Anna wrote a #Poem called "To the #Poppy," which ends with these #Words:
"#Kind #Dreams #Oblivious from thy #Juice proceed,
Thou #Flimsy, #Showy, #Melancholy #Weed."

The poppy is an #August #Birth #Flower.
It is a #Symbol of #Remembrance.
In #Floriography, or the #Language of #Flowers, the Poppy represents #Comfort & #Solace.

#OTD Executors for the #Botanist Baron von Mueller's #Estate requested #Donations.
Rev. #Potter said Mueller only wanted #Wildflowers and #Grasses on his #Grave “until a worthy monument could be erected."
4 years later, Mueller's monument was inscribed with words by #Friedrich #Schiller, the Baron's favorite #Poet:
"Despair not! There are still #Noble #Hearts that glow for the #August & Sublime."

Memory Lane | #Florida_Teachers #Slam #Ron_DeSantis on #School Coronavirus #Transparency |
“The Governor and the #Education_Commissioner have been #pressuring #school_districts and health departments to #keep_them_from_releasing_relevant and #important_information about #coronavirus in our schools,” said FEA President Andrew Spar.
“Like any parent, I have a #RIGHT_TO_KNOW what is happening in my #Child’s school.”
The state’s largest #teachers_union recently #sued the #administration over a #Corcoran_order #REQUIRING all schools to #REOPEN five days a week at the end of #August. Courts #RULED that order was #UNCONSTITUTIONAL, though the administration has #appealed, prompting a #stay. At this point, many districts that wanted to #delay_opening #have_gone_ahead and #opened_schools anyway amid #legal uncertainty.
The new commercial from the FEA slams DeSantis in the ad, which imposes his image alongside that of U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.

Never forget !
RT @whassoo: 1/2 #August, a month full of sufferings for all Yazidis. Here's why:
August 2007: one of the largest terrorist attack in the world & Iraq War's deadliest attack, committed against Yazidis by AL- Qaida, which killed more than 700 Yazidis & at least 1500 others wounded.
