dad says he *thinks* it is hand-drawn lettering, I pointed out the exact duplication of the weight of the horizontal part of the L and the up-swoop of the 1, and now he's just typing (he was never a comic book letterer, but his housemate was, he just drew them, and we all used letraset)

don't get me wrong, I love several that post quality content regularly, and I would cry if the Friends In My Ears (podcasters) did this, but it's a different sort of enjoyment.

One of the oddest things about my favourite youtubers in general is that they will go dark for 13 months or so then drop a PhD level almost 5 h video on the most esoteric shit imaginable and I love it every time

A poem to swirl around in your mouth before spitting it out spitefully

Several pieces are unphotographable, truly, much like Rothko you need to see them in person. The way he renders water is so gorgeous. The way he depicts agency is beautiful and defiant; the fact he paints 'romance rather than breeding' with all the tender pinks of 18C Frenchness is stunning

third, a slightly blurry photo where it says "Marshall uses various black pigments to depict skin colours, layering or placing side by side, ivory black, Mars black, and carbon black, mixing in other colours to render black fully chromatic. As he said. "If you say black, you should see black"...

Second image: the projects, and one of the only autobiographical pictures, the artist and his siblings play in the gardens, the sign and the mottos over the top, it is close to the Watts riots.

First image: an elegant Black woman in heels and a stylish shirt looks on as another Black woman is indicating to a unseen piece of art, large, on a gallery wall, to a group of Black children. In the background, in another room, a group of Black gallery-goers follow a guide with a flag

From his multichromatic use of black pigments for "if you say black you should mean black" to portraying the American projects as a place of stifled but defiant hope, to what "the Academy" could be if it were less violently white

Yesterday I went to the Kerry James Marshall exhibition at the Academy and I cannot remember a single artist exhibition that floored me as much for years

I would strangle RFKjr if I got a chance. Wealth and absolute stupidity in terms of medical matters is eugenics. He is a eugencist.

I mean I think del Toro's through line is monsters can be monsters, but they are born from circumstance rather than the unthinking descent into being a monster that is the human
