PoliZine #2 - The first 100 Days minus the first 40

It has now been 100 days since Donald J. Trump was inaugerated President of the United States and began his second term in office.  PoliZine #1 covers the period beginning Inaugeration Day through the end of February.  Today's post is about my newest zine which is another digital collage of many shared Facebook posts from March 1 through the end of April -- about the political issues that have risen to prominence in the news cycle for this period including the peaceful, public protests that have been increasing across the nation, in response.  

I've called this piece 'PoliZine #2' (Poli for political).  It's hard to believe it only represents what has happened from 3/1 through 4/30/2025...all that has been visible to the public, that is.  It marks the completion of the administration's first 100 days, considered an important benchmark.  

Both PoliZine #1 and PoliZine #2 feel like hosting containers for the information dumps I've needed to make for my own unburdening.  Neither of them are pretty, and they have no order.  But isn't that what we -- who are citizens of the U.S. -- have been going through since January 20th?  Looking at it this way, it seems quite fitting.

These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
