      I visited my friend @amitavawriter last week in Po I visited my friend @amitavawriter last week in Poughkeepsie. Haven’t laughed like that, or had such a good conversation about art - writing - life in so long. Maybe since Yaddo, where we met. Now reading his wonderful “Everyday I Write the Book.”
      Looking at this amazing cover painting by Amy Sher Looking at this amazing cover painting by Amy Sherald the morning after another white supremacist police shooting, this time in Kenosha. I keep thinking about the words of June Jordan (quoted in the excellent Claire Schwartz New Yorker article on Jordan’s collaboration with Buckminster Fuller) “I realized I now was filled with hatred for everything and everyone white... I resolved not to run on hatred but instead, to use what I loved, words, for the sake of the people I loved. However, beyond my people, I did not know the content of my love: what was I *for*?”

      Giving half of anything I make from this project Giving half of anything I make from this project @galerie_barbara_thumm 2 the Tony McDade and Nina Pop Mental Health Recovery Funds at the @theokraproject. Thank you @luuukerogers for your drawing ‘Wash Cycle’ (ink on paper, 2020), included in one of the images, and @domenico_de_chirico for curating. “One Year Later at Luke and Jody’s” is a seasons cycle, painted in the fall of 2019. A few weeks ago, I wrote about making this work in LA, and about the experience of looking at art during quarantine—follow the link in my bio to read it.
      Demonstrate, take actions to defund police, listen Demonstrate, take actions to defund police, listen to the experiences of others with humility, give to bail funds if you can, and vote. Sharing this very useful list to help with some of these. Compiled by @botanicaldyke
