First review ✨ More Butch Heroes available April 29th #mitpress #kirkusreviews

really trying to erase our whole existence "The Art Museum of the Americas, a cultural venue run by the Organization of American States ... has canceled two upcoming shows, one featuring Black artists from across the Western Hemisphere and the other showcasing queer artists from Canada."

Here’s something uplifting. We are exploring clay - something neither of us use in our own work— and Kate’s creations are amazing.

We usually watch @joyannreid.bsky.social while eating dinner. Tonight was somber and quiet. We are sad! @msnbc.com you messed up badly. We’re never watching your network again.

Three of Dawoud Bey’s Favorite Artworks: The photographer discusses Alice Neel, Walker Evans and the horror intrinsic to the American landscape.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

NEW: San Francisco AIDS Foundation leads a group of nonprofits suing Trump and others over anti-trans, anti-diversity EOs. @lambdalegal.bsky.social is representing the groups, who are seeking to have the orders and efforts to implement them declared "unlawful and unconstitutional."

If @harvard.edu didn’t capitulate to Musk ally, Bill Ackman, they could’ve had Claudine Gay. If America hadn’t fumbled the election, we could have had Kamala Harris. Now we all have white supremacists wrecking institutions, torching research, and pissing on democracy. Black women tried to save you.

Masha Gessen knows what she is talking about. Her column is worth reading and sharing. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/o...

Hey, if I may, here's what I want for my birthday: make something. Take a few minutes and make something frivolous, make something that makes you giggle, make something furious, make something that makes you wet, take some time today and revel in the glory of your creativity. That's our birthright!

I know it won't do much, but as someone who uses many doctors at NYU Langone, I will be writing the hospital a strongly worded letter about this and their abandonment of trans kids. If you have NYU doctors, I encourage you to do the same. bsky.app/profile/pris...

Hey folks take a break and go hug your kid, kiss your partner, snuggle your pets and care for yourself. This isn’t all there is in life. Remember that.

Since the election, my way to blow off steam is ceramics. I made a porcelain book stand!

“A hand gesture.”

From fundraisers to mutual aid drives and emergency grants — here’s a running list of resources to help artists impacted by the LA fires.

Such an important read. And a great point that museums should have a written policy concerning censorship especially now…

Artist Pippa Garner, remembered for her cheeky performances and impractical inventions laden with sarcastic commentary, has passed away at 82 years old.

This essay explores fascinating questions about time, culture, perception, & how language orders our inner & outer lives www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

As we bid adieu to 2024, Hyperallergic editors unveil a list of Dos and Don’ts to navigate the art world in 2025.

This article says that if they stopped training the technology on rape and abuse pictures then they wouldn’t have any pictures of women. I may be done with the Internet

Israel has burned northern Gaza’s last remaining hospital. And kicked out its patients, including neonatal and ICU patients. I picked a western news source since y’all seem more likely to believe those. I don’t know how else to get people to care. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/h...
