Mary Wells Lawrence, 95, Trailblazer on Madison Avenue, dies | She put the plop, plop, fizz, fizz into Alka-Seltzer. She warned Benson & Hedges smokers that long cigarettes might pop balloons or set fire to beards. And from Niagara Falls to Broadway, she reached millions w/ her “I ♥️ NY” campaign. She grew up in Ohio, and broke into the totally male bastion of 1960’s Mad Men. She was the 1st woman to own and run a major national ad agency. She knew EVERYONE in the biz, and she worked til the end.

Netanyahu has repeatedly stated his intention to move forward with a full blown invasion of Rafah, a city in southern Gaza that is currently sheltering more than 1 million Palestinians who have been displaced from their homes by bombing and gunfire. This invasion would be a moral and strategic failure. Urge your senators to call for a ceasefire and oppose Netanyahu’s invasion of Rafah. https://indivisible.org/resource/tell-your-senator-call-ceasefire-and-oppose-rafah-invasion?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Of course the problem has gotten worse since 1998.

This explains how news junkies who consume lots of legal opinions like this: "this is a strong case!" or "the special counsel is screwing up!" end up less informed and more unhinged from facts and reality.

A recent photo of my sketchbook, still training with ballpoint pen directly, a cruel training. But I am beginning to get a better ability to imagine perspective grids without tracing them, and I can even begin to plan full-page compositions. It takes a while to build these new skills, but they are worth it.
