A quilt depicting a dozen fried eggs with poofy yolks on a dark grey background. There is a fabric “craft tag” attached to it that says “The Price of Democracy $3.65 by Pam Brisse”
A close up of the front of the tag that says The Price of Democracy $3.65 by Pam Brisse
A closeup of the back of the tag which reads “Average price of a dozen eggs in November 2024 - the excuse used to vote against a woman president”
My quilt, “The Price of Democracy”, a statement about how some people used the price of eggs as an excuse not to vote for a woman president in the year 2024, knowing that the other choice would try to destroy democracy here and abroad.

"The boxes were filled with hundreds of 35mm slides from the Dept of Defense [that] appear to be from the height of the Cold War... They are the perfect inverse of contemporary Pentagon graphic design in all its sprawling insanity, permanently poisoned by the vernacular of PowerPoint and clip art.”

You are a usually thoughtful journalist but you—& the CBC—cannot be a neutral / objective gatherer of reactions.
On this you must have a point of view. Journalism scholars call it “mature subjectivity,” a professional obligation.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

"How did three board-and-batten cabins in the remnants of an old oak forest in South Louisville, Kentucky evolve from a refuge for female creatives in 1898 into a thriving textile arts community today? The tale of the women of the Little Loomhouse is one of strength, connections, + perseverance."

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

A @melhogan.bsky.social podcast ep with @hypervisible.bsky.social about AI’s encroachment on universities. 💡1) AI’s lack of standpoint situated in material reality - i.e. standpoint theory & AI's appeal to “objectivity” 💡2) “Inevitability” doesn't mean we have to teach how to use it pca.st/o6epce0m
