"Oh, By The Way" is my digital scrap book of things I like, things I would share with a close friend and say: “Oh, by the way, do you know of this artist/ clothing or interior designer/ model/ singer/ actor/ gorgeous man… or, have you seen this video/ photo/ film... or heard (or do you remember) this song/ band... or, read this book/ poem/ inspiring quote... or, visited this place/ museum/ restaurant/ famous building... or, have you heard of this amazing new scientific discovery?”
I am dedicated to posting the positive, the fascinating, the beautiful, the interesting, the moving, and the inspiring and uplifting. Sometimes I post cultural as well as personal observations, milestones, and remembrances. And just like life, all of these things may often have a bit of melancholy or even sadness in them, which is what makes our time here so lovely and bittersweet and precious.
Some of the photos, art, poetry, and prose are my own original work, credited with my initials, JEF. When it isn't, I always try to post links to the original source material, but often I find photos on the web that are not linked or other material that is not sourced. In these instances, I post them without malice since it is assumed that such things, by being globally posted on something as uncontrollable as the internet to begin with, are in the public domain. If you identify the source of an image that is not linked, please politely let me know (without accusing me of theft) and I will be happy to provide a link. If you are the owner of an image and would prefer it be removed, I am happy to do that as well.
I hope to inspire and entertain my readers with things that inspire and entertain me. There is a startling amount of beauty and creativity in the world and it enriches us all to participate in it.

I've been worried about this, but I'm wondering how well this demonization is working. Maybe I'm spending too much time in echo chambers, but I don't see a lot of talk about socialism like I did only a year ago. And I'm in the Republican stronghold of Oklahoma. I also might just spend time with decent people.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for this comment. It's relieving to hear, especially given your location. Let's hope it continues, and we have some momentum toward real and meaningful change here in the US.
I've been encouraged by the debates. Especially Pete...every time he speaks, it is as if someone turned the lights ON in the room and it is easy to SEE things.
And thanks so much for listing my blog on yours! I appreciate it!
Best,
JEF
