  1. For #laborday. I’m reading Richard E. Miller’s The Messman Chronicles in order to help me understand my father’s life at sea as a #Filipino #messman and steward, and his sometimes self-censored references (in letters home) to racial and other conflicts aboard ship. Miller's book was about Black crew, but also dealt with Filipino and other #messmen & stewards. Wrote about it in my newsletter:

  3. Small Trades - Irving Penn

    Celebrating Labor Day

    Assigned by Vogue in the summer of 1950 to photograph workers in Paris, Penn expanded the project to London and New York. Subjects were photographed in a portable studio wearing their work uniforms and holding the tools of their professions.

  7. #LaborDay became a holiday in 1894.

    Just six days after the Pullman Strike ended.

    The one with soldiers and over 30 dead workers.

    Congress rushed it through.

    Talk about that when celebrating it.

  12. A powerful message this #LaborDay from Pope Leo XIV: The center of work is not capital, market laws, or profit, but the person and their family’s well-being. This is a timely reminder for us to re-center our focus on human dignity.

  13. A lot of people in the area have problems due to overnight flooding rain, large hail and major wind damage. After that severe thunderstorm left, it looked pretty and peaceful, but many have a LOT to clean up.
