“men like that have class systems for the women they “know.” They spoil and flatter the women they NEED things from, business associates, press people etc. … Then there’s women like me, the underlings. We don’t need to be treated well...” —Neko Case nekocase.substack.com/p/in-what-fu...

This last week I was just cookin’ along minding my business when I suddenly found myself quite depressed.

Leonora Carrington’s sketchbooks and letters from her time in a sanatorium. In a letter to her father, she begs him to send paintbrushes. The last image is from The Oval Lady short story collection, illustrated by her partner Max Ernst. The Symptomatic Surreal is at London’s Freud Museum until 10/08

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

Embroidered book covers, fashionable in the 16th and 17th century, the art of embroidering unique covers for books saw a comeback in late 19th-century England, via the Arts and Crafts movement.#womensart #WomensArt

Inhaling @jesstraynor.bsky.social ‘s New Arcana. And this poem… I have no words. Will return to Magpie (among others) regularly. I used to read tarot in my early 20s and got self conscious about engaging with mystery. This collection feels like an old friend. #amreading
