A passenger who tried to pack
17 bullets in their baby's diaper sack
The TSA would have none
As bullets can't be fun
'Twas discovered at LaGuardia's TSA checkpoint check
Such a foolish and dangerous caper wrecks

This installation piece in #LaGuardia terminal B is wonderful. It's by Sarah Sze, "Shorter than the Day".

#OTD #Fiorello #LaGuardia, aka Little #Flower, is born on Sullivan Street in #Greenwich #Village.
Mayor LaGuardia got the #Nickname because Fiorello means #LittleFlower in #Italian.
Although the reference could be construed as a #Slight for his #Shortness (he was only 5'2"), it became an #Ironic #Endearment of his #LargerThanLife, #TakeCharge #Personality.
A #Fighter for #Justice & #Fairness, LaGuardia was a #Champion of the #WorkingClass & Immigrants. He died at 64.
I'm posting some of my favorite #GraphicNovels as I am new to the genre and hoping to get recommendations for future reads:
#Persepolis (#MarjaneSatrapi)
#Syllabus (#LyndaBarry)
#FunHouse (#AlisonBechdel) - really anything by #Bechdel
#Laguardia (#NnediOkorafor)
#SeekYou (#KristenRadtke)
#OnASunbeam (#TillieWalden)
@bookstodon what else should I be reading?
