Thank you @criticalread for publishing my longform piece on Man Ray and Lee Miller, @JC_Scutts for editing, and @millerista for speaking with me! Really wonderful to spend so much time with these two artists again, despite the tough questions raised by their relationship.
NEW: "[Lee Miller] remains far more famous as a subject than as an artist, typical of how the Surrealist ethos at once idealized and infantilized women." criticalread.org/the-artists…

It's been a pretty amazing day since the publication of the op-Ed. I'm happy to see it's generating so much discussion! A few things I want to add, now that I see what folks are stumbling on... (op-Ed linked again here for reference) washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
I want this so badly. Off to daydream about starting a small, flexible, literary-focused venue all afternoon
"For theater as we know it to have any future at all, a new economic model must take its place, founded on a simple principle: fund artists directly. Then let the artists produce their own work, rent their own venues, and pay their own collaborators."

Pairs very well with cold weather and twinkle lights 🙏

Thanks for publishing two of my poems, @SherahBloor! The event was great and I'm glad readers could take advantage of screen-sharing, gave the program an interesting texture. Miss going to workshop!

Wendy Davis called me on Monday!! She continues to inspire. Please consider giving to her extremely close race (it seriously is) against a basic PAC-propped Cruz crony, especially if you live in a blue state. I lived in TX for 3 years - it CAN go blue! secure.actblue.com/donate/da…
Donate to Wendy Davis for Congress!

The first time I heard "defund the police" I was like "huh, but how would that work?" then I googled it and read and listened to what a bunch of folks were saying. You don't have to be reactionary, defensive, hear one thing that scares you and just hide. GOOGLE IS FREE!!
Boston, do not miss your chance to see the rarely-produced musical "Parade" by @MoonboxBoston! 7 more performances. Amazing singers and choreography. Devastating but not exhausting. Beautiful, buoyant score. moonboxproductions.org/#new-…

On false balance in journalism - a thread.
I worked in advanced driver training for teenagers for 30 years. I’m also a qualified teacher of the deaf, so have some basic understanding of both statistics & language use. I’d like to point out how “telling both sides” is so wrong.
I loved the wonderfully curated Olivia Parker retrospective at the @peabodyessex. Closes Monday, 11/11 - do not miss it! My review for @AEQAI: bit.ly/331NOUS

AND: fire any curator/board who thinks #peopledoingyoga is an adequate replacement title for #whitepeopledoingyoga. Artless to boot. motherjones.com/media/2019/1…
