It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre.

After the enthusiastic response to my posts yesterday on Gertrude Stein's poodles (collectively) named Basket, I did some digging & realized we could curate an entire show around art devoted to these beloved companion animals. So, without further ado, a proposal for BASKET: THE EXHIBITION (thread)
