The arts are a public good on the same level as education, healthcare, housing, transportation, and public safety. Housing reform, cultural funding equity, and fair wages for artists and cultural workers must all be tackled intersectionally to enable New York City's arts sector to thrive.
Dear Zohran, Don’t Let Art Workers Down
Those of us in the cultural sector need you to enact a bold vision for the role of city government in fostering the arts and helping our communities thrive.

Recovery is a Warm Gun, or, where I've been // where I'm going
Updates, field notes, and rejecting the paradigm of "recovery" as I cautiously transition (for a brief time) from severe to moderate disease in a world that seems designed for maximum harm.

great @eddysarah.bsky.social on the work of Durham artist & gay rights activist Allan Troxler: his paper cuts w titles like 'Earth Heart' & ruminations like "Seems to me that one big difference between the revolutionary and the fascist is that one tries to understand his own heart and one doesn’t."
