TY!

Thanks!

Thank you. I have a Times subscription and the app and still can't figure out how to find the articles I want to read!

The book is out now. Restall wisely says “These are essentially living objects whose meaning is constantly shifting, and so where they are located and how we talk about them has to also be constantly changing. And that’s not a bad thing," in the NYT today, www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/a...

It's such a delight to walk around these Larry Bell sculptures in Madison Square Park and to see how they change at every step.

The pre- pre- pre-release of my next book, coming April 2026. ;)

Sept. 30, 1919: Elaine Massacre Black farmers were massacred in Elaine, Arkansas for their efforts to fight for better pay and higher cotton prices. A white mob shot at them, and the farmers returned fire in self-defense. Estimates ...

#tdih 1919 #RedSummer Black sharecroppers met in Elaine, Arkansas to organize for fair pay for cotton.

More than 100 of them were massacred by a white mob.

Twelve Black men were sentenced to death for "riots." #Terrorism #TeachOutsideTextbook 🧵

Our current apocalypse is entirely driven by the fact that billionaires have convinced people that there’s not enough in the world to sustain us all and so we must fight each other to hoard and survive. In fact, there is more than enough to sustain us—it’s the hoarding that’s the problem.

It was fun having the chance to see and hear Pamela Z perform inside Torkwase Dyson's sculpture in Brooklyn Bridge Park last evening at dusk. @publicartfund.bsky.social #TorkwaseDyson #PamelaZ www.instagram.com/p/DPJhurpjbR...

DOT Sign Shop: Maspeth Central - Open House New York Visitors will see how New York City’s street signs are made, from start to finish. Every sign in NYC is made here, at the Maspeth Sign Shop.

I'm creating an OpenHouseNY shortlist for out-of-town guests, and I think it's 🤗 — and, I'll admit, touching — that you can see where the Dept of Transport makes its signs, or visit the Dept of Sanitation's waste transfer station + compost facility, or watch new garbage trucks demo big-bin pickup...

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Prof Bill McGuire, Professor Emeritus of Geophysical & Climate Hazards, UCL, said: “The tragic events in Texas are exactly what we would expect in our hotter, climate-changed, world. There has been an explosion in extreme weather in recent years, including more devastating flash floods caused by slow-moving, wetter, storms, that dump exceptional amounts of rain over small areas across a short time. This frequently overwhelms river catchments leading to severe damage to adjacent infrastructure and loss of life. Such events will only become more commonplace as the global temperature continues to climb, driven by carbon dioxide emissions that still top 40 billion tonnes every year.”

This climate catastrophe coming on the US's independence day is a reminder that we were never independent of nature and never will be, and that there is a terrible cost to undermining its elegant systems...

Although I have a soft spot for interactions with public sculpture no matter how silly
