Happy Hanukkah from the Library of Congress. 🕎 This steel menorah, donated to the Library by Dallas sculptor George Tobolowsky in 2013, is displayed in the Great Hall.

Tobolowsky donated the menorah to the Library's Hebraic Section on May 16, 2013, driving the piece from Texas to Washington, D.C. in the back of his pickup truck to deliver it to the Library's Thomas Jefferson Building.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Are you still seeing hummingbirds? Ruby-throated hummingbirds start migrating in August and by late November they reach wintering grounds in parts of coastal south Florida, Mexico and Central America. 📷 courtesy of Gordon Garcia

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: - It’s ‘voilà,’ not ‘wallah!’ - It’s ‘a lot,’ not ‘alot.’ - It’s ‘further ado,’ not ‘farther adieu.’ - It’s ‘flesh out,’ not ‘flush out.’ - It’s ‘sneak peek,’ not ‘sneak peak.’ No worries if not!!!

Tucked deep in Nevada’s arid Great Basin, the Pine Forest Range is a hidden gem of wildflower-covered slopes, windswept ridges, and rugged granite outcrops. This remote high-desert escape comes alive in spring and summer with bursts of color and sweeping views.
Bright wildflowers, including orange Indian paintbrush and purple lupine, bloom in the foreground of a sweeping desert mountain landscape in Nevada’s Great Basin, with layers of ridges stretching into the distance.

Have you seen any butterflies lately? Black swallowtails can be found across much of the country, especially east of the Rocky Mountains. They lay eggs on plants within the carrot family, including cow parsnip, dill, golden alexander and more! 📷 courtesy of Gordon Garcia

If you’ve ever heard that - The F-Word is an acronym for “Fornication Under Consent of the King” - The Sh-Word is an acronym for “Ship High in Transit” - Any other older word being an acronym It’s untrue. Acronyms are, by and large, a 20th-century phenomenon.
