I know I’m probably biased because I’m in this film, but it’s just so well done. The editing, cinematography, directing…I could go on. Everyone featured pours their hearts into standing up for intellectual freedom and I’m so proud to be a small part of this. @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social

Thank you world’s richest bully for elevating the good work of Valerie Costa and her group Troublemakers. I donated to them this morning. Check out the NPR story about Costa on Weekend Edition. Fascists go to hell, down with Tesla, up with courageous people like Costa. bsky.app/profile/vale...

The Kennedy Center having been occupied by fascists with no appreciation much less respect or understanding of art, I propose a shadow Kennedy Center awards that can go deeper and wider than the usual establishment fare. First nominee @publicenemyno1.bsky.social!!! @chuckdpe.bsky.social C’mon down!

World's richest man ends America's modest aid to the world's poorest people. I'm not a big believer in hell, but willing to make an exception

In CDMX: A showing of Les Blank’s film Burden of Dreams at Cine Tonalá, attended by Maureen Gosling, Blank’s film editor, and Harrod Blank, his son. Burden of Dreams chronicles Werner Herzog and crew’s difficult nearly 5 year journey filming FITZCARRALDO. Highly recommend!!! #lesblank #herzog

youtu.be/EB41U-rh0WA?... The wonderful Marianne Faithfull has left us. She of course was a deep interpreter of song, but not enough attention is given to her own talent as a songwriter. She wrote some gems that cut to the heart of things. Here’s one. Thank you Marianne. 🌹

“If you know what people are thinking about when they’re coming into church on Sunday morning, it’s very important to acknowledge that,” Budde says.

Today is the birthday of Virginia Woolf, Etta James, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Masters of language all in their way. “How can we combine the old words in new orders so that they survive, so that they create beauty, so that they tell the truth? That is the question.” -Virginia Woolf
