"The Fourth of July, 1916," Frederick Childe Hassam, 1916.

A vibrant scene of a celebration of Independence Day on New York's Fifth Avenue, in the midst of WWI, when some Americans were worried about foreign invasion. This scene is especially flag-ridden as the artist was a supporter of the Preparedness Movement, with advocated for stronger national defense.

From the New York Historical Society, New York.

Was going to ask my Italian uncle if there was enough food at his cookout for me to bring a guest but...there is always enough food at an Italian cookout.

Somewhere, someone is spending their last week with a full set of fingers.

All alone here in my ghetto of irrelevance I console myself this time by recalling the name “Norman Mailer”. They used to force his name and blabberfuckingmouth in my face constantly back in the day but now, lol, it as though he never even existed! Me encanta, “ashes to ashes.”

Good morning to all of you amazing Mastodonians!

For the #MorningMoments today, tell me about your day. What have you accomplished? What do you hope to accomplish?

If you're in the USA, tell me about your July 4th plans if you have any.

For me, my cousin, her two girls and her fiancee are possibly coming over so we can do a little cook out and just spend some family time together.

I'll like get some Diablo IV time in before that.

Me last night: I get to sleep in tomorrow since I have the day off.

Me this morning: 4:15 guess it’s time to get up. Lol. Let’s go 😎

Good #Morning and Happy #Tuesday 🎉☕️🍳 Also #HappyFourthOfJuly for those in the US 🧨🎇🎆

The USA was founded as a nation ruled by laws made by elected representatives, who were the public's servants.

Compare that to the fascism we're steadily sliding into, serving the interests of corporations and the wealthy, and corrupting the law itself.

“Okay, you get fireworks twice a year, but THAT’S IT!”, sounds like commentary from a tired spouse. #HappyNewYear #HappyFourthofJuly
