Vickers Family Reception at the Harn Museum

Surrounded by family and friends, Samuel and Roberta Vickers celebrate the opening "A Florida Legacy: Gift of Samuel H. and Roberta T. Vickers” exhibit showcasing the Vickers family over 140 piece art collection gifted during a reception for the to the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida. 

“The Vickers Collection is unique in its power to convey both the exquisite natural beauty and the rich history of people in Florida — the ruggedness and grandeur of its landscapes and the highs and lows of its human history through the centuries,” UF President Kent Fuchs said. “Sam and Robbie have shared a treasure with us, and we are thrilled to have the privilege of sharing their collection in turn with all visitors to the Harn Museum.”

As an integral part of the University of Florida campus, the Harn Museum of Art will share the Vickers’ gift as an important new resource to strengthen faculty collaboration, support teaching and enhance class tours, and provide research projects for future study. “A Florida Legacy” is organized along six thematic sections that address many prominent subjects represented in the Vickers Collection: nature, history, landmarks, diversions, living and impressions. 

The “Florida Nature” section includes iconic views of Florida forests, beaches and wetlands. 

The “Florida History” section includes nineteenth-century drawings of important figures in Seminole history, an early map of Florida, and early depictions of historic cities such as St. Augustine. 

The “Florida Landmarks” section showcases views of historic forts, town squares and city parks in a number of cities across the state. 

The “Florida Diversions” section features familiar sites such as people enjoying themselves at crowded beaches and at popular destinations such as racetracks, Silver Springs, and the Everglades. 

The “Florida Living” section focuses on Florida scenery, domestic architecture and scenes of daily life. 

Lastly, the “Florida Impressions” includes lively sketches on paper that were created “on the spot” and represent the artists’ immediate, personal responses to their Florida subjects.

Happy birthday Vincent.

Vincent did get a party at Evandale county family rec center and Mercedes did not hesitate to age him up. He received the Inappropriate trait upon aging into a child. Though my gameplay was cut short due to having to prepare and evacuate my campus for Hurricane Helene 🫠, so child Vincent will have to wait.

A Florida Legacy: Samuel and Roberta Vickers Home of Art

Over several decades, native Floridians Sam and Roberta “Robbie” Vickers have amassed a stunning art collection that captures the sunshine and shadows of the state’s past. Now, they are giving their collection of over 1,200 pieces of Florida-based works of art dating from the early 1800s to the mid-20th century, the collection includes masterpieces by Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Thomas Moran, and Martin Johnson Heade — some of the greatest names in American art — to the University of Florida Harn Museum of Art. Here is a look at the art-filled rooms of the Vickers family collection at the couple’s home on the banks of the St. John’s River.

Removal of ‘Ruby Bridges’ film from Pinellas school sparks outrage

[wicker-and-scrap]

This barely scratches the surface of the rules implications:

Since the card counts everyone in the room, can anyone in the room declare their gender in response? People not playing in the game don't get priority, so when would they do this?

What if you're outside? Is that one big room?

Is going outside a special action that doesn't use the stack?

Nothing that happens in a subgame carries over to the outer game, so if you change your gender in a subgame, can you have different genders in two concurrent games?

If you combo this with Enter the Dungeon, is "under the table" a separate room for purposes of the subgame?

If you control a player's turn, can you change their gender until end of turn? Can you change their pronouns, too? Can you make them go outside?

Does this make forcefem-Jace canon?

stumbled across this card on scryfall and oh boy is it a doozy

so. the updated wording of the card (most importantly "gender" and "as you cast") makes this potentially the funniest card in the game rules-wise. no judge has weighed in on it (probably because its an old card out of print and not legal in any format) but it begs the question

what happens if someone comes out as trans in response?

i would love to know from a judge 1) if a players gender is hidden information (and, if so, what zone (if any) its in), 2) if coming out is a special action (similar to taking off your pants to dodge denimwalk) that doesnt use the stack, cannot be responded to (can you fucking imagine getting countered on that?), and can be done whenever the player has priority, and 3) if the reveal affects the "as you cast" clause
