Marking a middle-age milestone while watching the country ungracefully grow old
As women age, it's important to dismiss shame and to share life changes. Also at 250, it’s important to name the threats destroying the U.S.

I took this picture fifty years ago for my first-grade school picture at St. Anthony's in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The whole country was celebrating the bicentennial, and my school got into the spirit. I had the best haircut and the finest sweater vest money could buy. #70s #Spiritof76 #4thofJuly

I wondered what family pictures I had from the Bicentennial, so I dug out a box of dad's slides labeled "Sep 1975 - Sep 1976". This was the easily the best shot. I cannot stop laughing at it. Me (5) and my sister (4). #Spiritof76

One of my abiding memories of June 1976 was the ladybirds. I recall the footpath into the schoolyard was so dense with them that we walked across the grass to leave the grounds. History repeating. #SpiritOf76
Estimated 250,000+ #Ladybirds on Grafham Water dam this evening (at least 150 per metre all the way along top of dam wall). Probably more. @birdguides.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social #ukbirding
