Oh, not at all! And thank you. We had a talk and a hug.

Thanks for the feedback, reposted a new version with less and quieter music.

Got some feedback that the background music was too loud. I guess I needed to hear it over the screaming in my mind. (I'd forgotten about the cat with human hands until just now.)

Apologies.
it should be improved here.

Likely unpopular opinion: There are a lot people who say they want to build community, cultivate IRL human connection, retain attention spans--- who think they're above small talk.

You're not. And if you want to get any of the above, you need to value it like any other skill.

Our electric bill went up an extra $200 compared to last month despite our habits not changing. This is due to an ai data center in one community a 20 min drive away, & a crypto-mining data center 10-ish min drive from here.

So they dont just pollute the air & water. They'll make you broke, too.

That's why Sherald's subjects have neutral expressions she captures their beauty all the same.

(BTW, if you're a nonBlack person and the people in her paintings look "angry" to you, the then you don't know what we look like when we're not performing. That is YOUR flaw and you should work on it.)

At the fantastic Amy Sherald I caught recently, the curator giving the tour said the artist had the same goal: to show the beauty of Black people existing for ourselves.

Did I mention how much I LOVED this exhibit? 🤩🤩🤩

Turns out something Amy Sherald and Mary Cassat have in common. Cassatt was notable because she painted women as people first. She put the inner the life of her women on the canvas and let them exist for themselves.

Caroline asks Olivia how they dealt with negative comments online. She responds “Oh, I just never read them.” Cuts away to a panel of Nancy, Caroline, Olivia, and Sluggo holding hands and frolicking in a flowery field. There is a rainbow overhead that reads “How Life Is When You Don’t Read The Comments.”

Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23.

She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24.

Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method."

It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

My second is a fun heist/ YA romance graphic novel set in the Old West called STAGE DREAMS.

My goal is two more books and I'm supporting Trans Maryland.

MISS MAJOR SPEAKS was my first read for the #transrightsreadathon finished earlier this week. It's great for people who struggle the idea of abolition as well as a brilliant convo with living legend.

If you are anywhere close to Maryland do yourself a favor and go see Amy Sherald's show at the Baltimore Museum of Art! It was outstanding in every way!
