Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

shirley jackson you tell em www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...

ar and away the greatest menace to the writer—any writer, beginning or otherwise
—is the reader. The reader is, after all, a kind of silent partner in this whole business of writing, and a work of fiction is surely incomplete if it is never read. The reader is, in fact, the writer's only unrelenting, genuine enemy. He has everything on his side; all he has to do, after all, is shut his eyes, and any work of fiction becomes meaningless. Moreover, a reader has an advantage over a beginning writer in not being a beginning reader; before he takes up a story to read it, he can be presumed to have read everything from Shakespeare to Jack Kerouac. No matter whether he reads a story in manuscript as a great personal favor, or opens a magazine, or—kindest of all—goes into a bookstore and pays good money for a book, he is still an enemy to be defeated with any kind of dirty fighting that comes to the writer's mind.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Manta ray painting, after the sketching I shared a few days ago. I’ve always loved rays. It’s delightful watching their elegance, speed, & curiosity. I also love the way light plays across the sand when I’m underwater. I’ve aimed to capture both in this piece. #OceanDevotion #sciart

We are tender in the treasuries of tomorrow, happy birthday Robert Kelly 🎈

Gacela

Are there at evening shuddering palaces
Where among shadows the moths go broke for light

Is there a broken shutter banging in the wind
Or is she just a breeze in a book?

But nice feral muscles of the sumac night play
Let lovers whisper among the transistors—

Under noise a continent of calm goes on
Right at the core of the clatter of hardware.

We are tender in the treasuries of tomorrow,
Our hands caressing switches that speak the light.

Paul Klee "Fish Magic" (1925) Oil and Watercolor on Canvas on Panel 77.2 cm × 98.4 cm (30.4 in × 38.7 in) Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, USA. #ArtSky #Klee

"Fish Magic" a famous 1925 Surrealist painting by the Swiss-German artist Paul Klee.
Key Details & Context
Style and Technique: The artwork features an intermingling of aquatic, celestial, and earthly entities. Klee achieved this mysterious atmosphere by covering the canvas with a dense underlayer of multicolored pigments and then overlaying it with a delicate surface of black paint. He then scratched and scrawled into the black surface to reveal the colors underneath.
Central Elements: The composition prominently includes floating fish, a clock tower, flowers, planets, and a small human-like figure at the bottom.

one of the greats by one of the greats: Brigit Pegeen Kelly’s “The Leaving”

The Leaving
My father said I could not do it, but all night I picked the peaches.
The orchard was still, the canals ran steadily.
I was a girl then, my chest its own walled garden.
How many ladders to gather an orchard?
I had only one and a long patience with lit hands and the looking of the stars which moved right through me the way the water moved through the canals with a voice that seemed to speak of this moonless gathering and those who had gathered before me.
I put the peaches in the pond's cold water, all night up the ladder and down, all night my hands twisting fruit as if I were entering a thousand doors, all night my back a straight road to the sky.
And then out of its own goodness, out of the far fields of the stars, the morning came, and inside me was the stillness a bell possesses just after it has been rung, before the metal begins to long again for the clapper's stroke.
The light came over the orchard.
The canals were silver and then were not, and the pond was—I could see as I laid the last peach in the water—full of fish and eyes.

Sometimes a drug trip is a profound experience where you realize that you’ve been carrying pain in your heart for years, that you can forgive yourself. Other times you come up with a concept called “gay money” (money that’s gay) and you text your friend “gay money” days later. Both are healing. ❤️‍🩹
