The Avenue, Southampton, England between ca. 1890 and ca. 1900. Views of the British Isles England Southampton

![The image depicts a picturesque and serene avenue, likely from late 19th to early 20th century judging by its style. It features a broad path flanked on both sides by tall trees with lush green foliage, creating an almost tunnel-like effect of dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves onto the earthy brown road below. The ground appears dusty and slightly uneven, indicating it might be unpaved or well-trodden rather than paved.
On either side of the avenue are street lamps, characteristic of a bygone era before modern electric lighting became ubiquitous in urban settings. In the distance, two figures can barely be discerned against the backdrop of distant trees, suggesting an early morning time when life is just beginning to stir or late afternoon as one prepares for winding down.
The photograph has been printed with text at its base providing context and location: "10396 - SOUTHAMPTON THE AVENUE". This indicates that this avenue is located in Southampton, a city on the south coast of England. The image also carries an old-fashioned appearance consistent with historical photochrom prints used for documentation or souvenir purposes during that period.
The Avenue was likely one of many scenic routes within Southampton and other English cities at that time, designed to provide residents and visitors alike with beautiful walks amidst nature in urban settings.

February 4 Wikipedia featured article
Rosa Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was an American civil rights movement activist best known for her refusal to move from her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in defiance of Jim Crow racial-segregation laws. When Parks was arrested in 1955, local leaders were searching for a person who would be a good legal test case against segregation. She was deemed a suitable candidate, and the Women's Political Council (WPC) organized a one-day bus boycott on the day of her trial. After Parks was found guilty of violating state law, the boycott was extended indefinitely, lasting for 381 days and finally concluding after segregation on buses was deemed unconstitutional in the court case Browder v. Gayle. Parks received many awards and honors, both throughout her life and posthumously. She received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Congressional Gold Medal, and was also the first Black American to be memorialized in the National Statuary Hall.

Ahh this is so fun. Dr. Erica Brozovsky explains the trend of Korean-English lyrics mixing in K-Pop music.
It’s sometimes *so* frustrating #English speakers cannot understand that a) one English word can acquire many distinct translations, or b) several differing English words can be translated with one and the same word.
Today’s pet peeve: “#shortcut”. In @Vivaldi, it stands not only for ’a special key combination’ but also ‘an icon on the speed dial tab’. In Finnish these require different translations; however, no hints are provided by the developers as to which one is meant. #localization #l10n

📕 Word of the Day: diaphanous
diaphanous • \dye-AF-uh-nus\ • adjective
Diaphanous is a formal word used to describe fabric of a texture so fine that one can see through it. Diaphanous is also sometimes used figuratively to describe something characterized by extreme delicacy of form.
// The bride looked radiant in her floor-length gown and diaphanous veil.
📝 Examples:
"With a bright pattern set on flaming crimson and a diaphanous petticoat underneath, the dress fits her perfectly." — David Wingrave, Harpers Magazine, 24 Oct. 2025
📜 Did you know?
What do the words diaphanous, epiphany, fancy, phenomenon, sycophant, emphasis, and phase all have in common? The Greek word phaínein shows more clearly in some of these words than in others, but it underlies all of them. The groundwork for diaphanous was laid when phaínein (meaning "to bring to light, cause to appear") was combined with the prefix dia- (meaning "through"). From that pairing came the Greek diaphanḗs ("transparent"), parent of the Medieval Latin diaphanus, which is the direct ancestor of the English word.

Pedestrian (adjective)
Definition: Lacking imagination; dull or commonplace.
Used in a sentence: "The story was competent but ultimately pedestrian."
Though it literally refers to someone who walks on foot, pedestrian took on a figurative edge by contrast: what moves slowly and plainly versus what... doesn't. Versus what flies. Versus what soars.
As a critique, it doesn’t accuse something of being bad. Just uninspired.
Which is in some cases worse.
