If you’re based in NYC consider becoming a member of the Francis Kite Club, a really special cultural and political bar/space in lower Manhattan. We need grassroots uncensored spots that are actually a pleasure to be in!

& if you’ve never been, check it out.

There is now a broad assault in Gaza and the civilians are under great threat. Already hungry and homeless, they rely on our direct donations to survive, feed their families, and raise funds to flee to safety.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem, and to others. ❀️ πŸ™

If you get the feeling you are powerless to make change, consider connecting with others offline. After the comments and observations.

Solidarity signs are popping up in restaurants across Los Angeles. They're a simple but powerful way to say we know our rights and we've got each other's backs.

To download your own solidarity sign and for more free Know Your Rights resources, head to ilrc.me/protect

a william powhida drawing depicts a sheet of notebook paper taped to a wall, casting a slight shadow, on which hilariously depressing interpretations of various art world commentaries and small talk are listed in a way that gives full force to the artist's insecurities and renders the art world a shallow, judgy high school with occasionally free wine. being sold at heritage auction in sept 2025

I don't think two drawings have covered more of the lived art world experience than this hilariously depressing Wm Powhida list of art comments, and the portrait Ellsworth Kelly drew of his former boyfriend Robert Indiana on the back of a Skowhegan gala menu greg.org/archive/2025...
