"After reading this book, I’m energized by it. In a world of faux pluralism and filtered, glassy, false surfaces, it’s exciting to be a little ugly." @dirt.bsky.social on UGLINESS @moshsky.bsky.social @ninarenataaron.bsky.social newvesselpress.com/books/ugline...

Years ago, my academic career ended with a whimper. My 2nd was a newborn, life was in shambles. Proud that this fall I'll be back in a grad seminar studying literary translation (Russian to English). A lifelong dream. And working on Ukrainian too 💙

This painting is called "Still Life with Green Soup" which I feel rather buries the lede
Still Life with Green Soup by Fernando Botera, a yellow tinged still life of a table top with bowls, bread, bananas, and a cat reaching for the soup. The cat has a weird compressed face.
