Really good news, via Daniel Nichanian: Bucks County, #Pennsylvania, was ground 0 for conservative takeover of school boards & anti-LGBTQ policies in 2021, on Central Bucks & Pennridge boards. Dems flipped both boards back in 2023. Tonight, Dems have ousted *all* Repubs from both school boards

Rebecca Crosby, Noel Sims, and Judd Legum point to six election results that did not make the news:

"Pennsylvania county ousts sheriff who collaborated with ICE"

"Progressives win control of Texas school board that censored books"

"Georgia elects its first Democrat to a non-federal statewide office since 2006"

"Mississippi Democrats break Republican super majority in the state Senate"

A cozy A-frame cabin snuggles into the falling snow at the end of a soft winter's day in Central #Pennsylvania. Behind the #cabin and camouflaged by the muted grays and whites of the season the land slopes down and that's where the fun really happens. Skiers and snow boarders can be heard whooping and laughing fro morning well into night when the snow pack is good and the white stuff has been flying. Built in 1967 the little cabin sits square in a place of memories and happy times for many over the years ... that's the #LaurelHighland's #BlueKnobMountain.

I hand painted this image digitally in #CorelPainter 2023 using one of my own images (not from stock or public domain) as a starting point ... having fun with a great variety of brushes and techniques. It was not created using any Ai (artificial intelligence) software programs.

"Room With A View" ... A favorite of mine taken on top of #BlueKnob mountain several years back. The part I like is the feeling of early, early springtime! We're nearly through February, and that means spring is on it's way!!!

A quaint little shack sits alone and forlorn on top of Blue Knob Mountain, All Season's Resort, in Claysburg, PA.

Seen on a quiet spring day, you would think the true view here at the top of Blue Knob Mountain in Claysburg, Pennsylvania, would be just at the rim of the hill the shack is perched upon. And that is the view we normally can't wait to visit. It's breathtaking ... the rolling hills of the Laurel Highlands ripple out in front of us like waves upon the sea. But on this day .. the quiet light, the trees just beginning to leaf out, the clouds ... and most fun, the golden dandelions at our feet, beg us to take a extra moment or two to enjoy the simplicity of the wooden ski-shack itself.

It'll take a couple of seasons, but soon it will no longer be forlorn. As soon as snow flies, the skiers will return ... and it will see its share of fun again.

Spring Morning on The Mountain ... another scene from the backyard up at the cabin at Blue Knob All Seasons Resort in the #LaurelHighlands of #Pennsylvania.

Loosely based on my own photo and hand-painted, digitally, in #CorelPainter on my dear old #Wacom tablet and #artpen.

On a soft spring morning, gentle sunlight highlights four wooden adirondack chairs arranged on green lawns. Surrounded by a tall trees and colorful wildflowers, the views of the distant hills beneath clear blue skies create a serene and inviting atmosphere.

Several years ago I spied a scarlet tanager in just this spot. I've never seen one before or since ... they don't frequent my backyard feeders at home, but on that day I had my camera and the 150-500mm Sigma lens with me and shoot that pretty birdie I did! But the distance was still too great, so even with the big lens, my captures were only useful for personal memories of the moment. To honor the birdie, I painted two of the little guys into this scene, as an homage to what Mother Nature has up her sleeves, if we're only in the right place at the right time to see. And hopefully have our camera handy, too!

Another #digitallyhandpainted image (from my own photo) of my favorite view, this time with the distant #LaurelHighlands #mountains of #Pennsylvania in better view. Early #spring up there is about May as the trees don't leaf out until a bit later at 3000 feet.

"Morning In The Laurel Highlands" ...

A lush forest scene in the Laurel Highlands of Central Pennsylvania showcases tall trees with vibrant green foliage under a bright blue sky. Morning sunlight filters through the branches, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

A view of the distant mountains from the top of Blue Knob All Seasons Resort in full spring is a fine sight to wake up to. Grab your coffee and pull up a chair ... let's enjoy this magical moment as we gaze out over the ski slopes covered in greens and golds instead of their winter coating of frosty white snow.

Loosely based on my own photo and digitally hand painted in Corel Painter 2023 using the Wacom tablet and art pen stylus. No artificial intelligence programs used. Fine art as well as product purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... your wall art will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."

Tucked away in the woodlands of Pennsylvania lies a unique fleet of streamlined 1930s and 1950s streetcars. These St Louis and Pullman-Standard carriages have glorious vintage Americana vibes.

Many of these date to the height of the Streamline Moderne era. At this time, streamlined aerodynamic forms replaced the geometric shapes and excessive ornamentation of the earlier Art Deco style.

Philadelphia lawyers appointed to help people challenge their convictions can instead urge judges to rule against them, and often do so without ever speaking to their clients.

How? By filing a letter arguing that the case has “no merit.”

If anyone with a car is in the York-Lancaster county area of Pennsylvania, I am a disabled latino who could really use help moving my things back into storage. I'm willing to pay and I know the ride from my place to the storage is about an hour trip. I have a male cat who has a carrier.

Please, I need to leave by Tuesday, March 31st or theyre going to start an eviction process on me. I have fibromyalgia and even standing for a minute is very painful. Signal boost if you can.

I can be dm'd here and my discord is Beebelz. I can also trade telephone numbers once finding someone.

I heard via @Alice that it’s #DoorsDay so here’s my share. I took this photo about 2 hours before the pretty green grass I shared in my earlier post. It’s in Coatesville, PA. Anyone familiar with that old old city? If so speak up—this place is an incredible historic site I hope is being restored. So I’ll not name it yet to see if anyone knows. Looks almost medieval, ay? #Pennsylvania #Historic #Stone #Door #Decay

Very old wood door with rusted antique strap hinges and small viewing panel of 6 small square panes is installed above the handle. It’s very crude, weathered and warped. The entrance is at the corner inside a long straight wall of the building to left, unseen, and a curving wall to the right. Building is made of mortared blocks of stone. An old asphalt sidewalk or parking pavement is almost crumbled up leading to the door. It looks sinister but maybe used to be magnificent before decades of decay.

So happy that "Crossing Shawnee Creek" won second place in the 4/22/2026 Fine Art America contest "Roadside Covered Bridges" held by the "Roadside" group. Many thanks to group and contest administrator, Ben Prepelka, and to everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners!

An early April view of the beautiful Colvin Covered Bridge, crossing Shawnee Creek, and looking back toward the township of Schellsburg, Pennsylvania. With the hint of texture and a few other artistic treatments, I've tried to portray what the citizens of the area might have viewed on the day the bridge was completed in 1894. The bridge itself is owned and maintained by the county and is still used for light, local traffic ... and ... fishing!

“FBI records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit reveal that a Butler County Sheriff's deputy exchanged two emails with Thomas Matthew Crooks — the gunman who shot and wounded President #Trump at his Butler, #Pennsylvania rally on July 13, 2024 — prior to the attack.

The content of those emails remains unknown.

The records are heavily redacted.”

Of course he did

#RFKJr personally asked to remove #Pennsylvania #measles deaths from #CDC tally, sources say

Kennedy’s request came after CDC staffers had already accepted the state’s characterization of the deaths as linked to measles, a Pennsylvania official said.

Despite that, #EricaSchwartz, the recently appointed director of the CDC, agreed with Kennedy’s directive & implemented it WITHOUT OBJECTION, said the 3 sources….
