Untapped New York explores the forgotten islands that surround NYC - nearly thirty named islands that most people, including native New Yorkers, don't even know exist. The article examines eleven islands united by themes of abandonment and obscurity, many once inhabited by individuals or institutions, but now erased from public memory. #UrbanGeography #AbandonedPlaces #NYC #Islands #ForgottenHistory #Geography

Back in the late 60’s and very early 70's there used to be a Mynah bird in a cage beside that phone box that spoke 😃
My mum used to take us up there from Macduff as a wee treat to hear it do it's thing.

#Saturday, Nov 25th, was Holodomor Remembrance Day. I took this photo then (maybe … things have been Timey Wimey and Jeremey Bearimy for me). I took this photo in remembrance of the Ukrainians — the farmers of the breadbasket of Russia — who were genocided by Stalin through forced starvation of their populace 90 years ago.
It's a tough watch, but MR JONES is a thriller of a story based entirely in the truth of the brave journalist and truth teller, Gareth Jones, friend to George Orwell.
Join Andrea and me. Takie a picture of a lit candle posted on social media with the hashtag:
If you do, kindly share a link to it in the replies. It would lift my spirits, just like that Ukranian grandma with the sunflower seeds did all those months ago 🌻
A short film featuring the actor who portrayed journalist and humanist hero, Gareth Jones. Enjoy. Peace & love.

April 15, 1970 a march to Harvard square protesting the Viet Nam war turned to riots
The number of protesters was estimated to be around 1,500 when they entered Harvard Square at 7pm. At 7:20pm, the street lights were turned off and police formed a blockade. Some protesters started rioting, throwing bricks, smashing windows, setting fires and taunting Harvard University students watching from their dormitories. About 2,000 police officers started charging the protesters at 8:19pm, firing tear gas. The streets were cleared at about 1am and the National Guard soldiers dismissed at 2am. A curfew imposed that evening was lifted at 6am.
314 people were treated for injuries, including 35 policemen. Damages were estimated at $100,000.
Future Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was at this event, and says it was a catalyst for his disillusionment with leftist movements and began his turn to conservatism.
