I wrote a short reflection on Jaune Quick-to-See Smith's legacy. There's so much we can learn from her, especially now. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/a...

So yes I do know there's a lot going on in the world right now but I also want to share that these photos of Nina Simone & James Baldwin in current National Portrait Gallery show on Baldwin and voices of queer resistance are giving me LIFE npg.si.edu/exhibition/j...

As the EOs and orders keep coming, I keep thinking of the exhibit in the Berlin Jewish Museum that displays the 962 anti-Jewish laws and policies in order as they came down. These kinds of drumbeats are designed not just to oppress but to normalize oppression. www.jmberlin.de/en/jmb-journ...

"The cheap, reliable labor force has generated more than $250 million for the state since 2000 — money garnished from prisoners’ paychecks, the AP wrote in December. Parole numbers have also plummeted in recent years." Slavery by another name indeed.

RIP Jo Baer, 1929–2025. She went all the way out—way beyond the horizon—and returned, transformed. The rarest feat for an artist? She lived many lives.

Remember the right-wing plot to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s re-election by urging Iran to hold American hostages longer? You don’t? It’s a shocking example of the American right’s treachery that more people should know about. (Gift link to 2023 NYT story.)

I don't know why the SF Chronicle avoids mentioning specifics at all. But the "violation of workplace conduct policy" alluded to here was a social media post promoting fundraising for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which offended some racists. She was fired for supporting the UN.

I have a lot of feelings about how this has impacted the arts (most of my favorite writers spent part if not all of their lives this way) but the right to just hang out and be chill should be for everyone, not just those who justify it with a different kind of productivity.

Lorraine O'Grady, the brilliant artist, critic, and mentor to many artists, has passed away. Hard to fathom where the art world of today would be without her incredibly important, prescient, revolutionary work. Thank you, Lorraine. Rest in power. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

I think it's fair to say that Bluesky has a pretty young userbase, plus there's a lot going on, so you might not have heard that Frankie Beverly has died. He was one of the best ever to do it and his music moved so, so many; he ruled his own zone. Play all his stuff. A legend has left us today.
