While you are watching the game, the perfumed class will wander the streets in a reverie. Quick bises hello by the otherwise empty sushi stand. Courtly bows in front of the gay bar.

For the latest issue of The Magazine Antiques I wrote about Ethan Allen catalogs, the Eamses, Venturi & Scott Brown, and the fraught effort to celebrate the 200th birthday of the United States at a moment when the country was a hot mess. Sound familiar? 🦅

My other research conundrum from today: No one seems to know if you can use an image from the ARTSTOR Visual Arts Library (without a named photographer) in a book.
Have any of you sorted this out?

Hi! Have you eaten something today? Taken your meds? Had a big glass of water? Planned something fun offline this weekend? Naps still count.
I know things are really stressful right now and it's hard to focus. Remember to breathe. Try and lower your shoulders. One thing at a time.

The discussions about "how much money would it take for you to return to the office four or five days a week?" often gloss over how many expectations are placed on women, people or color, parents, as well as people who are disabled, neurodivergent or have chronic health conditions.
