Mom calls me Hagrid

Mom sent me an email this morning, and it started out, "Good morning Hagrid."

It's the first time she's ever called me that.

I knew making her watch Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone over Thanksgiving would explain things to her!

'Rosie the Riveter' of colour, in colour.

Ganked from pocketlama, by way of debunkingwhite:



This colour photo was taken in 1943 at a Tennessee bomber factory, and has recently been released by the Library of Congress as part of their public domain photo release on Flickr.

'Rosie the Riveter' is such an iconic image for WWII, and this photo -- featuring a woman of colour in the role of 'Rosie' -- turns a previously "white" icon on her head.

I think it's stunningly beautiful. I especially love the painted nails and ring she's wearing while riveting.
