Sometimes parenting teens/tweens is super difficult and you feel like everyone hates you and sometimes you surprise them w Popeyes on a Monday and they act as if you are the best parent on earth.

I don’t care who you are, I promise, the women in your life don’t need to hear “wow rape culture is awful” from you. I am very comfortable making this a blanket statement. You can either show up for them via your *actions* or you can keep on doing what you’ve been doing, which is nothing at all.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Ask yourself this: how have institutions that for years have said they face budget shortfalls, deficits, shortages that “required” them to deny faculty lines, fire staff, raise tuition, cut research support, etc. suddenly find the money to pay for outrageously expensive contracts for AI services?

New Orleans people - does anyone have experience filing a title insurance claim? And/or getting a title company that screwed up a previous sale to maybe expedite a situation/pay damages for delaying a sale?

Stephanie Porras @periodeye.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I like specifics - so more anecdote / narrative, examples of what kinds of things your students are doing (this may be because I’ve been on lots of art history and studio art searches, so I like to imagine the humanities equivalent of showing student work, which is common in studio searches)

*curator - also the show is at graphite Gallery on Royal - her artist statement is below

In Living Cover: Record Selfies Projest
This is a deeply personal project that began in 2016 as a way to entertain myself, and also my ex, when I staged Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweat's newly released Self Titled record. Two Clash records followed in quick succession and I started posting them on Instagram as a joyful way to honor favorite records, and by finding ways to insert myself into iconic imagery-whether physically or by some personal touch. Only much later did 1 create a dedicated Instagram account (Record Selfies Project: In Living Cover) with a professed "low budge, high praise" ethos-the effort has always embraced a DIY aesthetic, using only my phone and a little creative ingenuity (my favorite prop has been using sneakers and hair ties to secure the phone, instead of a tripod).
When you're young you find your tribe, you have a shared interest in music and art and clothing.
It makes you feel seen. I grew up in rural North Carolina, where there was no art, no music, and going to a punk show was a 2.5 hour drive each way. In such situations, tight friendships are born: we had each other and looked inward to make our own fun and create our own music
Music saved our lives.
It's the tether that has bound us together for over 30 years and even beyond the grave.
Sammy's covers of songs from the records I create encapsulates us-our tribe, our friends, our story. This project is personal, but it is also generative and accessible: everyone can relate to music being the thing that binds us together, just like art (we're all nerds for something). It shapes who we are into adulthood and beyond.
You might notice in images like Diary by Sunny Day Real Estate that I left a corner of the prop visible. That intentionality and DIY aesthetic is exactly what this project is about. We all take ownership of these records that matter so much to us, and that's kind of like a litte signature for me-of leaving my imperfections intact. I's my way of taking ownership of where …
