pickWhat fun to revisit another childhood TV hero: Bob Keeshan aka Captain Kangaroo! This pictorial celebrates 50 years of this groundbreaking show (1955-84) The Captain taught us kids about kindness, diversity & respect. He hosted “Reading Stories” so we could fall in love with books. He & sidekick Mr. Green Jeans even taught us to appreciate nature, animals and our environment. That‘s before being replaced by cartoons/marketing tools to sell toys.🙄
so-soSometimes overly stiff in presentation, but a fun dive into propaganda of the mid 20th century!
pickGreat book
pickFinished this audio on a plane today…. So fun hearing all the behind the scenes stories from this incredible show. Once I get back home, a rewatch is definitely happening!
This was fun - it brought back some memories!
💛 When I was young, my Dad & I would go to the tobacco shop every Saturday. My dad got his papers & cigarettes, & I got a Peppermint Pattie & a piece of Bazooka Joe gum. I just loved that routine.
🧡 This candy wasn't on the list, but I loved Zotz fizzy candy.
❤️ I loathe coconut, and have never tried any candy with coconut.

"Portland is Portlanding" is the most Portland headline out there.
I have been distracted and personally overwhelmed, but I am so proud of my city. Emergency Naked Bike Ride was today so look forward to that in the news it was a cold and wet day for it.
pickLegendary Children looks at queer history through the lens and structure of RuPaul‘s Drag Race to shine a light on important figures and moments that paved the way for the show to exist. The culmination of queer culture could easily get lost in time, but this book, and the show, helps keep the love alive.
Burton aficionados will recognize any number of visual ideas that are wrapped into his later work, especially The Nightmare Before Christmas.
