Don’t Wait: Activate! Also, Election Day Info for NYC

I spend a lot of time on Twitter — I’m a masochist, I guess — and I keep seeing people reacting to stories like this one about the warehousing of immigrant children in overcrowded and disease-ridden detention camps on our southern border.

Jewelry From Suffragette City

October 24, 2016 by WendyB

Jewelry From Suffragette City

Wham bam thank you Becky Stone of Diamonds in the Library for this myth-busting post about suffragette jewelry. It turns out that the oft-told story that suffragette-related jewelry in green, white, and violet stood for “Give Women the Vote” is just a story. Becky writes: “At least one of the most popular suffragette groups –…
