Tori Amos' muses always brought mystical spark to her music, but now they've become realists
How the realities of aging as a performer became a "battle worth fighting" and brought Amos back to her childhood.

Following Trump/Vance’s foolishness when meeting with Pres. Zelenskyy, it finally felt time to read this graphic novel by Nora Krug. The book is a weekly illustrated diary juxtaposing the accounts of a Kyiv journalist and a St. Petersburg artist between 2022-2023. See the comment about Musk…! ☠️🤡
