A simple message with big meaning: "I am somebody." We are grateful to Rev. Jesse Jackson for helping teach generations of children to believe in themselves and in one another. Thank you for being part of our neighborhood. 💛💚

Darth Vader was modelled on a samurai!
See the similarities?
This is just one fascinating fact in Lesley Downer's review of the British Museum's new Samurai exhibition.

Yesterday was the midway point between the winter solstice & the vernal equinox & today is Imbolc, the pagan celebration of the return of the light. We’re climbing out of winter & the whole botanical calendar (save snowdrops & aconites) is ahead. A very good thought in case you need it today 🌿:

We break from tradition from the usual theme for day 1 of #FebMusicChallenge26 you may need this link to help you officialcharts.com/charts/ e.g. if you were born September 1971 then you would choose a song from that month and year look forward to seeing your choices, mine is below.

This was the translation that jumpstarted Penguin Classics. A generation who had experienced war firsthand read this clear prose version with new eyes. And Rieu began it to distract his family in London during the Blitz, reading them new episodes as the bombs fell.
