“Frolic at the Front”

It’s a festive occasion at the Italian front as the guys and gals drag out a portable phonograph and cut a figurative rug on foreign soil. At left, dancing with Lois Berney of Fallon, Nevada, is PFC Clyde Burgess of Toccoa, Georgia. Dancing at right are Mary Ross Moen of Onawa, Iowa, and Pvt. William Maderra of Rayland, Ohio. The girls are Red Cross workers whose job is to boost the morale of Fifth Army men.

So I moved recently and thought that for the fun of it I’d take a picture of every Bendy thing I own

I have more Bendy stuff, they’re all just from independent sellers and not the official Bendy team. I’ve been a Bendy fan since 2017 and got my first piece of merch on Christmas (it was the Bendy umbrella shirt fun fact). Most of these I collected when I was younger but some of it is more recent. My biggest flex is having the original release of the Bendy plushies (this they have squeakers in them.)

Milestone Monday

Rain Day is celebrated each year on July 29th (and it's raining here in Milwaukee today)! The tradition began in the 1800s when pharmacist William Allison noticed a unique occurrence of rainfall every July 29th in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. This led him to keep a record of rainfall for the day, and the celebration has since become a widespread day dedicated to the love and appreciation of rain. In Waynesburg, people often bet on the weather, but more common commemorations include learning about rainfall and rainwater conservation.  

In honor of Rain Day, we are sharing Umbrella, written and illustrated by Taro Yashima (1908-1994). Published in 1958 by The Viking Press, Umbrella tells the story of Momo, a young girl who receives rubber boots and an umbrella for her third birthday. She eagerly awaits a rainy day to use her new umbrella. Yashima's lively illustrations capture the vibrancy of the weather and reflect Momo's joy in the rainy day. Umbrella was named the 1959 Caldecott Honor Book, solidifying Yashima's place in children's literature history. It is another book from our extensive Historical Curriculum Collection that can be explored online here.

can we talk about the choice to make luther the one with the music. here is a portrait of seven five siblings. none of them are in each others lives anymore. theyre dragged back together by their fathers funeral and find themselves nearly strangers, and none of them are particularly interested in changing that. but luther. luther wants them to be a team. he resents them for leaving and he resents them for not wanting to stay and solve this mystery. he is The Leader and as The Leader its his job to bring the gang back together and absolutely nobody is the least bit interested in heeding him.

but then. the first time that theres an indication that these people do have potential to be a family again. and its because luther plays a song.

its so beautiful. they could have given the music collection to any of them!! wouldn't it feel so in character for it to have been allison or klaus? or, for that matter, viktor? but they gave it to luther. the hardass who has been annoyed with everyone this whole time, the guy who is taking this all too seriously, THATS the one they give the 80s pop music to.

because he wants them to work together. and the show tells us yes, he he has that power, to help heal his family. but only by being a person with a music collection who does goofy dances and loves model planes. and not by being a superhero

You were so sick, so internally embattled       suddenly a soft touch to the shoulder ghost, maybe, until you glimpsed the opossum’s so-soft front foot      offering solace, companionship                    touch in the time of despair
