QUOTE OF THE DAY Saturday, March 11, 2023

"Nunataks are rocky islands that are surrounded by flowing glacier ice. As the glaciers surrounding a nunatak come together, a medial moraine composed of rockfall from the nunatak often marks their confluence." - National Park Services, "Nunataks, Arêtes, and Horns"

Us: As soon as visitors stop feeding squirrels and taking dangerous selfies with bison, we’ll let you know where the horses with giant spikes on their heads roam.”

Don't even ask about the dragons.

Valle Caldera National Preserve Top Panorama: Valle Grande Bottom Panorama: Valle Santa Rosa (I believe) A wonderful place to visit with awe inspiring vista across the huge valleys formed by a volcanic caldera many, many years ago. No home to elk, prairie dogs, coyotes m, badgers and black bears as we as many birds and insects and fields of flowers in the Summer. #VallesCalderaNationalPreserve #VallesGrande #VallesSantaRosa #NationalParkService #NewMexicoParksAndPreserves (at Valles Caldera National Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmxn8boNjs6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The unveiling of the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center (SNMVC) in New York City marked a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ history, coinciding with Pride weekend and commemorating the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. This event, attended by President Joe Biden, Elton John, Katy Perry, and numerous other dignitaries, highlighted the center's significance as a symbol of equality and inclusivity. Stonewall Visitor Center The Historic Unveiling Ceremony President Biden, alongside First Lady Jill Biden, Elton John, Katy Perry, Governor Kathy Hochul, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and other notable figures, gathered at 51 Christopher Street to unveil the SNMVC. The event was a tribute to the Stonewall uprising of 1969, a crucial moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. President Biden's Address During his speech, President Biden acknowledged the pivotal role of the Stonewall Inn in igniting the LGBTQ+ rights movement. He praised the courage of those who participated in the uprising and emphasized the ongoing battle for equality and respect. The president's presence underscored the administration's commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ communities across America. The Significance of Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center Located in Greenwich Village, the SNMVC is the first LGBTQ+ center in the National Park Service network. Designed to educate and inspire visitors, it houses exhibitions, visual art displays, and a dedicated theater space. The center's programs aim to preserve the history and culture of the LGBTQ+ community while promoting acceptance and understanding. Contributions and Leadership The creation of SNMVC was spearheaded by Pride Live in partnership with the National Park Service. Leading the initiative were Diana Rodriguez and Ann Marie Gothard, two queer women of color whose dedication and vision brought the center to fruition. The architectural design by EDG Architecture + Engineering and interior contributions by designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent reflect a commitment to inclusivity and diversity. Cultural Impact and Exhibitions SNMVC offers a comprehensive look at LGBTQ+ history through interactive exhibits, educational programs, and cultural events. Visitors can explore the legacy of the Stonewall uprising and its impact on civil rights movements worldwide. The center's location at 51 Christopher Street holds historical significance, once housing the iconic Stonewall Inn itself. Commemorating Stephanie Leifer Stephanie Leifer, a respected executive at ABC and ABC Signature, passed away at 56. Her career spanned nearly three decades, shaping television programming and fostering industry relationships. A private funeral is planned, with contributions in her memory directed to CASA of Los Angeles, a cause she passionately supported.
