I think it’s wonderful Juneteenth is being increasingly recognized and celebrated. To mark the day, I wanted to repost this cartoon I created for the Boston Globe in 2015. Whether it’s God, sex symbols, superheroes, strong, patriotic women, relatable cartoon characters or even Santa, whites have historically represented themselves in all these roles. I think a big factor in racism is fear and whites seeing African-Americans as “other.” With this piece, I wanted to depict African-Americans in those familiar roles, to show what these icons would look like if they were black, and to hopefully get people to think about the effects of seeing or not seeing yourself represented in the culture around you.

On CTIA v. City of Berkeley

We filed our opposition to CTIA’s petition asking the Supreme Court to review the 9th Circuit’s conclusion that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Berkeley’s health and safety warning about cell phones. Here’s a clue to why no court in this FOUR YEAR litigation has yet to agree with CTIA — it’s effectively the same warning that the FCC requires manufacturers to include in every cell phone manual, just applied to retailers, not manufacturers, and no one, ever, has challenged that “compelled speech” by the FCC, including CTIA. You can read the opposition here.

But here’s a pro-tip for anyone trying to understand what this case is about. The issue before the Court has nothing — let me repeat, NOTHING — to do with whether cell phones cause cancer or any other harm to individuals. The issue — and really, the only issue — is whether a local jurisdiction must survive intermediate First Amendment scrutiny before it may require a health and safety warning. 

That sounds a bit law-geek-like, but it is critically important. This is a classic example of what Elena Kagan was describing when she charged conservatives with “weaponizing” the First Amendment. Because the single and most obvious consequence of such a NEW rule would be exactly what conservatives want here — the end of the practical ability for local jurisdictions to regulate through mandatory warnings. This is, as we’ve said from the start of this case, the ghost of Lochner in the guise of the First Amendment. 

You may not like safety warnings. I share a skeptical view about the utility of many of them. But never in the Supreme Court’s history has it applied intermediate First Amendment review to a mandatory health and safety warning. That’s why, in the last case where conservatives were trying to weaponize the First Amendment in this way, Justice Thomas wrote that the Court did  “not question the legality of health and safety warnings long considered permissible.” National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra, 138 S. Ct. 2361, 2376 (2018). Yet here is the CTIA asking the Court to create a new First Amendment barrier to something “long considered permissible.”

So if you’re thinking or writing about this case, please — at the very least —don’t become a tool of the CTIA publicity department. I’m happy to defend the substance of the Berkeley ordinance — which simply directs people to the manual if they want to avoid exceeding FCC RF exposure limits. But this cert petition raises an issue much much bigger than Berkeley’s ordinance. Focus on that forest, not on this tree.

Jean Cocteau’s frescoes

In 1949, the poet Jean Cocteau met Francine Weisweiller who invited him a year later to spend a week’s holiday in her house in St Jean Cap Ferrat which overlooked the bay of Villefranche.

A few days after his arrival, Jean Cocteau would say: “I’m tired of idleness, I wither here…” He asked Francine whether he could draw the head of Apollo above the fireplace in the living room. Matisse had told him: “When you decorate a wall, you decorate the others”, so Cocteau kept on painting. Inch by inch, he covered all the walls of the house with frescoes inspired by the Greek mythology and the French Riviera.

All summer in 1950, Jean Cocteau worked on ladders without any preliminary model. After drawing in charcoal, the poet enhanced his drawings with coloured powders diluted in raw milk, otherwise known as frescoes in tempera. Cocteau would write: “I didn’t have to dress the walls; I had to paint on their skin […] Santo Sospir is a tattooed villa”.

Two years after completing the walls of the villa, Jean Cocteau tackled the ceilings. Finding them too white, he coloured them with pastels in very soft tones. He also composed mosaics for the entrance patio and a tapestry for the dining room. The art-covered walls even inspired a film, the 1952 La Villa Santo-Sospir, a filmed tour of the home given by Cocteau himself. 

For many years, Jean Cocteau spend long periods in the villa and wrote about the place: “When I was working at Santo Sospir, I became myself a wall and these walls spoke for me”.

Looking at this gif again, I had three thoughts:

Crowley looks like he might understand women’s pocket issues

David Tennant has really narrow hips

I can’t tell you the third one or I’ll get in trouble or something, sorry

Stamping onto watercolor paper is not as simple as shown in @youtube videos. Derp.

All Things Bright and Beautiful By Ce­cil F. Al­ex­an­der, Hymns for Lit­tle Child­ren, 1848 All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all.Refrain The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, He made them, high or lowly, And ordered their estate. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. The purple headed mountains, The river running by, The sunset and the morning That brightens up the sky. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water, To gather every day. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well. All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. Author: Ce­cil F.

#forgettingfriday Bearded Irises. 35mm Nikon 4R, Ecktachrome, E-6. Developed and mounted the slides at work. Shot this photograph immediately after the massive layoffs at EPNG. In the intervening weeks afterwards, I was able to also use the Nikon to capture detail shots of the Bassett Tower from inside the Blue Flame building. I also took my favorite images of The Judge in the little collaged hat I had made for her. The camera borrowed had been James’ new 35mm Nikon, the top-of-the-line. He had received it less than a month before the layoffs. Later, the Nikon and its lenses were transferred to the Houston office. After that, I assisted a purchasing manager who also had remained, and we inventoried all photographic and video equipment, and either transferred the newer to Houston or put the older equipment up for auction. There had been a Hasselblad I wanted to purchase, but because i was helping run the auction, I was unable to try and bid on any equipment. Using #Instfit app, i can never decide which background is better, so here I did one of each.
