Today is Jerry Rescue Day. On 1 October 1851 a fugitive slave named Jerry Henry was arrested in Syracuse, New York. A group of armed people took to the police station where he was being held and through overwhelming numbers returned him to freedom by force. A larger crowd outside helped his rescuers evade identification by the police.
While those who rescued Jerry were considered violent criminals by the state at the time, I believe that many of us today would consider them to be heroes who acted justly. I would hope that, since the project of abolition is far from over, we can continue to find the same bravery in our own time.
Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Rescue
(Note that Wikipedia claims at one point that Jerry was the man's "slave name", but the source from which I learned about this claimed that it was his preferred name, his given name being William Henry, also the name of his slaveholder father.)

Afterwards I realized I had this photo, taken 35 years ago in the same room by someone standing in almost exactly the same spot as the person who took my picture Saturday.
This was a morris dancing workshop with Phil Underwood of Thames Valley Morris (in England) teaching Oddington dances.
Some of these people I haven't seen in years, some I still see regularly. One besides me was even in the same room on Saturday.

A recent Syracuse housing story is a good reminder for anyone buying in Central New York:
The biggest issues in a home are usually the ones you can’t see.
With so many older homes in areas like Liverpool, Clay, and Cicero, knowing what to look for during a showing matters more than ever.
I broke it all down here:

March 2026 market update for Onondaga County, NY:
• New listings: 259
• Homes in contract: 614
• Homes sold: 222
• Avg days on market: 36
• Median sale price: $267,000
The headline:
Prices are still climbing, but the market is giving buyers a little more room and asking sellers for better preparation.
That does not mean slow.
It means strategy matters more.

When I took this – or even ten years ago, for that matter – I could not have imagined that city newsstands would almost completely disappear someday. This is from November 1979, in downtown #SyracuseNY. His name was Pete Mussi, and he was a fixture there for decades. He's holding up the afternoon paper, because at the time a city the size of Syracuse could still support two newspapers.

Here's another #OldPhoto I took in 1977, one of the earliest photographs I ever took. Love the tone, the composition, the feel of a relaxing moment just reading the newspaper in a public place, waiting for the day to begin. This is in #SyracuseUniversity's I.M. Pei-designed #NewhouseSchool.

It’s a helpful starting point, but there’s a big limitation that can mislead buyers/sellers on pricing.

There isn't a lot of 'revolt metal' out there, but there should be. Syracuse, New York's TOILER make exactly that on their new EP 'The Master's Tools', and that's why it's a killer #ThursDeath for this week. After a cool, chuggy/ambient intro track (THIS is how you make an intro track!) the other four songs grind and churn in all the right ways. There's crushing dynamics and grooves everywhere-- don't miss this one. It's mean as fuck.
