Topic: the Voice of America?
I put this in politics because i guess that’s where it belongs..
but the Voice of America is now just one more political tool…and that should concern us all.the short story is that our lovely Republican Congress removed the non-partisan board of directors for the Voice of America and replaced them with directors who serve at the pleasure of the President… in this case two 20 year old Trump appointees…
It’s easy to think that President Trump didn’t want anything said by the Voice of America on the world stage that would embarrass him… and that could be true… but if you look deeper.. our Republican Congress just ensured that the only version of American Politics that the world would here is theirs…
If you currently give to alternative news sources.. it’s time to give more. If you don’t, it’s time to start. Otherwise all we will hear is a steady stream of FAUX news alternative reality.

Kid Friendly Footwear @ Again & Again will be closed on Friday, January 20. At this pivotal moment in our nation’s history, we pause to provide all members of our community with an opportunity to take action for a welcoming, positive future.
This inauguration day will not be business as usual. Along with millions of Americans, we reject irresponsible, unpatriotic racism and bigotry. America’s families demand and deserve leadership that treats them—and above all, their children—with decency, fairness, and respect.
What can we do? One New York Times columnist advises, “You need to augment your outrage with actions that are affirming, behaviors that reinforce principles and values.” Gather, volunteer, donate, educate.
For those who are not celebrating 1/20/17, there are many ways to come together and take a stand. Actions will take place throughout the nation on Friday, Saturday, and beyond.
In Seattle, events include a demonstration for social and economic justice from 5-8 pm in Westlake Park on Friday, and a family-friendly Womxn’s March on Seattle, starting at Judkins Park at 10am Saturday, concluding at 4pm at Seattle Center.
We stand with Cascadia and the majority of Americans as champions of optimism and sustainable evolution. We celebrate progressive American values: promoting public health, supporting women and all families, and embracing diversity.
We will act and speak out to protect and defend our environment, our dignity, and our freedom.
On Saturday, January 21, our shop will be open holiday hours (10am-5pm). We support the citizens participating in marches and demonstrations all across America.
Peace.

Literally.
In my college physics lab was a massive poster that I have been utterly unable to find since I learned to use the intertoobs to shop for stuff and things. The poster was about the size of an old school projection movie screen, maybe twice as wide as standard. It showed a series of 3D perspective based maps of the universe, starting with Earth and progressing to the observable universe. It was one of those simple and utterly defining things in my life that really put it all in perspective. I have looked off and on for one of those wall sized posters for a while now, and only tonight have I found the series of images that were the poster. Its a link to a wikipedia image.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe#/media/File:Earth%27s_Location_in_the_Universe.jpg
Those were the graphs on the poster(‘s?)and it contained perspective (scale?) blow-ups and other information such as relative size and distance axes. I dont know if this was a custom thing, but I would absolutely love to have a wall size copy of that poster.
If there is anyone who went to WSU in the late 90’s who saw that poster or anyone with actual internets ability who could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated!
Thank you.
