[Van Gogh Museum @vangoghmuseum]

Vincent didn’t paint this work just because he loved nature. Almond trees bloom early in spring and symbolise new life. In 1890, that new life had just entered his own family.

His nephew, Vincent Willem, had been born. Overjoyed, Vincent wrote:
‘It gives me more pleasure than I could express in words.’
He began the painting almost immediately, as a gift.

‘Almond Blossom’ became one of the family’s most treasured works, kept by Theo, Jo, and later their son. It was never sold.
And that’s why, to this day, it can still be seen at the Van Gogh Museum.

🖼️ ‘Almond Blossom’ is now on view in the exhibition ‘Vincent's Path to Fame’, until 6 September.

This movie genuinely makes me so emotional like seeing how loved Georgia was for being nothing other than herself and how her kindness touched everyone 😭

16 Montreal police officers are under investigation for keeping the locs of apprehended Black men as trophies. No, this isn't the U.S. It's Canada. The depths of racism never cease to shock, turning human beings into targets and their identities into souvenirs.

Remembering the man who wrote our childhoods ✍️🕊️

Dwayne McDuffie was a legendary writer, producer, and creator whose work helped shape the childhoods of millions of animation and comic book fans.

As a co-founder of Milestone Media, McDuffie helped bring groundbreaking heroes like Static, Icon, Rocket, and Hardware to life, giving fans stories that felt powerful, meaningful, and truly representative. His work made superheroes feel human, relatable, and unforgettable.

Over the years, McDuffie helped create, write, and shape many beloved projects, including:

• Static Shock
• Justice League
• Justice League Unlimited
• Ben 10: Alien Force
• Ben 10: Ultimate Alien
• Teen Titans
• What’s New, Scooby-Doo?
• All-Star Superman
• Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
• Justice League: Doom
• Milestone Media
and many more.

From Virgil Hawkins becoming Static, to the Justice League facing impossible choices, to Ben Tennyson growing into a more mature hero, McDuffie’s storytelling gave depth, heart, and purpose to the characters so many of us grew up watching.

Although Dwayne McDuffie passed away in 2011 at the age of 49, his legacy continues through the heroes he helped create, the stories he helped tell, and the generations of fans and creators he continues to inspire.

Rest in peace, Dwayne McDuffie 🕯️
