The eerie score deserves more credit for making "Wednesday" a success – the music selections and mystery-tinged covers make the show pop.

Exhausted but so happy after the first block of our exhibition RAVEN about life with Long COVID. I contributed my poem THE DEMON ILL and two coresponding sculptures. I was touched by how many people came, how many wore masks to protect us, and most of all by my fellow artists and their brave work❤️

Infectious diseases killed Victorian children at alarming rates — their novels highlight the fragility of public health today
Between 40% and 50% of children didn’t live past 5 in the US during the 19th century. Popular authors like Charles Dickens documented the common but no less gutting grief of losing a child.
