Prairie and Penelope

Prairie and Penelope, originally uploaded by djwudi.

My girl and her latest friend — Penelope, a wonderfully soft, cuddly, pink bunny.

While I’ll freely admit that I’ve never been the gothiest of gothlings, I’m still at times very amused that I ended up with a girl who’s big into the pink and fluffy side of life. Just one of life’s odd little quirks, I guess.

I’m keeping my black wardrobe, though. ;)

The Clothesline Project

by

The Clothesline Project is a program started on Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women.

There’s been a CLP display on the NSCC campus for the past few days. I stopped by yesterday after class and took a few photos. Every time I see this, I’m struck by the heartbreaking and uplifting power of the stories represented by these shirts. Incredible things to see.

I’ve also created a Flickr CLP Project group, as a tag search led me to quite a few other photos of CLP displays around the country.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Me and Prairie on Valentine’s Day (Smooches), originally uploaded by djwudi.

Okay, so this is going up a bit late in the day, but that’s just how it goes sometimes. We took the pictures before heading out the door to school this morning, this is just when I got a chance to get them uploaded.

Hope everyone’s V-Day (or anti-V-Day, depending on how you look at this particular holiday) was a good one!
