If you don’t do anything else as a parent you’ve got to build up your children’s confidence. That is like the single most important thing for you to do.

Stony Island Arts Bank! A Chicago treasure!
Friends of mine who had money sense would say “Don’t invest all your money in this building ‘cause you’re never gonna get your money out of it.”
I wasn’t worried about or concerned about resale value . I was investing in my life. I was investing in my block.

I'm particularly pleased to have several sculptures from Mary Zehnder in the gallery for this show. A native Chicagoan, Zehnder studied briefly at the University of Illinois School of Art and Architecture when she was younger, but life got in the way. She returned to art later in life with aplomb.

I like the prosody in Felix Klien’s explanation of Bürgi logarithms. He’s writing with purpose and with pride of his students and country in a time of (relative) peace in Europe ca. 1904

May depend on how ambitious you want to be but I think for most people it’s healthier and more realistic to come to terms with the fact that you can’t really “waste” your life, it’s all just life. Just do good, try to make yourself happy and healthy and if you dont like something try to change it.
Those of you 40 and up… how did you manage that whole “what am I doing with my life?” “Did I waste my life?” Feeling
(obvs if you didn’t feel that way this question isn’t for you)

Everything the West brags about:“high living standards,” “freedom," “world-leading economies (GDP)", "happiness index", etc., is paid for by the plunder of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Every iPhone, every gallon of gas, every supermarket stocked to the ceiling: stolen labour & stolen resources.

in case you’re wondering (you’re not) why Ishmael Reed calls out David Byrne as “invaluable in defusing some of the hysteria with which Neo-African religion has been relegated in the United States, a Protestant country” it’s because of Papa Legba

A retired mathematician brought a couple bags of her books into the shop today. The Coxeter was a good find— first edition good condition. I price it around $50 while bookfinder says there’s listings of very good copies in the hundreds
