Just had a hilarious morning reading (singing) the picture book DIGESTION THE MUSICAL by Adam Rex (Chronicle Books) to the little one. We were laughing so hard we both had tears in our eyes, and Act 3 was absolute hilarity with our mini dance party. What a fun read!

Remember the rules here: Don’t ever engage, just block.
It’s still a lot of randos coming into posts to antagonize or debate on purpose. Dont fall for the okeedoke. If the vibes are weird block
Also remember that you can detach quotes, hide bad replies, and blocking here is nuclear

I teach critical writing for the art department at The City College of New York. The following is a short thread full of words from people who are smarter than me about the vital role that artists play in society generally, and doubly so in the face of authoritarian regimes.
