The Colossus

There is an alarming consolidation of media giants in this country, from Sinclair to Fox to Comcast. I have dressed my giant in attire appropriate to the 1970s, he'd fit right into the film "Network".  The television is similar to the one I watched as a child, although I can't imagine my folks buying anything with a blond finish... which I've always loved.

About..."Shirtwaist (Second Wave)" from the Transition Series

This piece came to me as I was thinking about my mother's contemporaries, women who began to take a more active role in the trajectory of their lives, sparking the Second Wave of Feminism in the United States. 

Moreover, there is something very disturbing about a society which to this day does not consider better than half of its citizen's entitled to their full share of the American Dream. 

The Equal Rights Amendment still languishes in Limbo.
