Painting created c.1970 by GD Cotterell, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital, where he was compelled to live. Tormented by a belief, without basis in material reality, that he’d caused an accidental death while driving, much of his work attempted to persuade himself of his innocence

Academicians use the words "clear," "transformative," "powerful," or "obvious" instead of "decisive" because what you mean is not what "decisive" means challenge. Difficulty: inconceivable.

Painting of an ornate wood cabinet housing colorful frogs and toads with mini habitats. In the center, an urn holding a leafy plant with three small frogs reads: “IN PULVEREM MORTIS DEXUSISTI MI.” Flanking the urn are two closed, numbered drawers.

This was a fascinating interview with Edward P. Jones, not least because he cites his Black conservative classmates—including Clarence Thomas!—as inspiration for Black slaveholders in The Known World. (Gift link)

This one feels like a punch in the chest: Vinay Krishnan on the bird app.

The image contains a block of text which reads:

there’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop

there’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop. I have to eat better and also avoid a plague. my rent went up $150. I’ll need to pick up more shifts. Twenty people died in Rafah this morning and every major news outlet is stretching the limits of passive voice to suggest whole families may have leaped up through the air at missiles that otherwise had the right of way. I just got a notification that my student loan payments are starting up again and my phone isn’t charged. My cousin got COVID for a fourth time and can no longer work or walk or even feed himself. The person across from me on the L train seems to fashion themself a punk rock revolutionary, but they’re not wearing a face mask, and that’s the kind of cognitive dissonance that makes me want to steal batteries. Fascists keep winning primaries for both parties, and I think I gained a few pounds. (cont in comments)

Fun fact: though we may look like sad, medium-tattoo'd girls in handsewn frocks & overalls drinking coffee from champagne flutes in quiet bars while reading 18th-century books on the health benefits of facesitting, the soundtrack to our magazine features, prominently, the song Kerosene by Big Black.
