I haven't liked reading since post-grad and I haven't written a book review since undergrad. I find myself starved for knowledge and learning. I miss engaging with ideas and experiences on a deeper level (even if I'm very out of practice). Here's to trying!

Black text on a white background displaying a preview of a longer book review by Tanith K. Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism, a book review. Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell explores how a non-standard use of language is used to recruit, coerce, manipulate, and abuse potential members of in-groups or "cults." Montell looks at what differentiates motivational speech and cute tag lines from something more sinister, how... thetanith.substack.com

Pandora's Box (2024) | latex, acrylic, India ink, and polyurethane on canvas | 48x48 inches | see more on thetanith.com
A monochromatic abstract in different shades of black. Black ink splatters across the canvas. There are two sets of rectangles that mirror/reflect each other: one is large with texture to look like an envelope flap and the other is on top, smaller with a stippled texture. A shiny brushstroke circle is centered on and is moving between the rectangle layers, creating a 3D effect. Lastly, a metallic golden triangle is tangled amongst all the elements.

Visual artists: alt text is good actually. Inclusion of different vision levels is not only a positive in-general thing to do, it's also a way to know your own practice. Nonartists too gain understanding of what they are looking at, especially if you're into the weird stuff or do high-concept work!

White text overlays an image of the studio art gallery Charmed KC featuring the works of Shelby Keierleber. The text states: Shelby Keierleber Finds Acceptance in Loneliness. At Charmed, the artist tangles the story of the loneliest bird Nigel with her own, exploring "self-care" in late-stage capitalism. thetanith.substack.com
