When people say someone is their rock I only picture a pee rock that you put in a litter box so your rat will pee in the right place.

What a wonderful thing it was to talk with IBé Bulinda Crawley about her incredible artist books (each one a kind of compassionate & fierce time machine) and her process of hand crafting them. Thank you, @burnaway.org. burnaway.org/magazine/a-r...

Sometimes I just randomly say BuxTONNN like how PeeWee did.

Saw the Glenn Ligon backwards through the windows of the VMFA late last night and shit that was intense.

I feel better in public.

Our community radio station in Richmond rules. I hear from my neighbors and others I trust and value, and good music. Do you have a good community radio station in your town? (I am not talking about public radio.) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
