We all know what spaceships look like. But how do artists depict time machines? Sign up for my art blog newsletter and you'll find out in tomorrow's issue: 70s-sci-fi-art.ghost.io

Here's the sneak peek: Josh Kirby, Trevor Webb, Karel Thole, and Richard Powers
A handful of figures in strange red spacesuits ignore gravity to walk along a twisted yellow path that hangs in outer space. At the end is a doorway portal, with a string of other, increasingly smaller doors behind it stretching into the distance. A blue spherical ship flies through a red vortext with gold stars in it. An old guy sits in a mechanical chair built on a floor made out of a clock face, with a globe hooked up to it. The background is four different scenes or time periods, including one that's a Roman city. A man sits in the center of a dark machine built like a jungle gym with lights on it. The background is a foggy dark red, and the shadow of a dinosaur is to the right.

Annual reminder to water your Christmas tree poems …
This poem is written in the shape of a Christmas tree (well, most of it is) … Needles I wrote a poem in the shape of a Christmas tree but then forgot to water it and only a few days later [but the words beyond this point are scattered around the bottom of the page, like needles which have fallen from a Xmas tree) there were words all over the carpet

UGLINESS by Moshtari Hilal @fullstopmag.bsky.social "Hilal takes what feels most intimate about the body and reveals its entanglement with the most public and political forces. Amultidisciplinary artistand curator, she mixes poetry and essays with reams of images."

Ugliness – Moshtari Hilal
The nose is not just cartilage and skin; it is inheritance, race, femininity, a mark of refusal, a repository of hatred and desire.
