ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

#75: "Ah, we must now redefine man, redefine tool, or accept chimpanzees as humans." Jane Goodall's letters home as she researched chimpanzees and changed science forever

Jane Goodall's letters home from her first expedition studying chimps show us something valuable: fuck waiting for a proper education, go get your hands dirty, and nothing beats dogged hyperfixation in achieving your dreams.

Wow, congrats, Aaron! That's incredibly cool

A floating crumbling tower block over a flat landscape.

Just missed out on this year’s John Moores Painting Prize with ‘Fracture’. Although I was amazed to get to Stage 2. Congratulations to those who got through!

What's happening isn't new - and we can't let it happen again.

Laurennnn! Could you help me re-obtain the address of who won my auction item? I got an email and then went through a health crisis, and now that I've emerged from the crisis can't find it for the life of me :-/. Thank you!

What texture!

#72: Cher Monsieur Caubet France and the First World War

For May, I translated ten WWI-era letters I found at a Toulouse flea market - if you love to hate petty French bureaucracy and office drama, you'll love giving these a read.

All the hidden emotion. 'The color within' by Isa Guadalupe Medina is perfection.

You best count me in for next year's!

Since March, my CPTSD's been the worst of my life. I used to be a masking pro, but I’m weeks behind on my newsletter, on art projects, on calling friends.

To folks waiting on me: I’m coming. I promise.
To folks rooting for me: I got this. I promise.
& to folks in crisis: We'll be OK. I promise.

Using 11 cameras and 11 photographs, "Two Ways" by fine art photographer js.dykstra really brings 2d photography into a new realm!
