New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

Many thanks for @amsterdamreview.bsky.social for nominating "when the ponds were new" for Best of the Net. The poem is a visual erasure using a page of Walden.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

At a time when other publications are eliminating critics, The New Yorker created this stunning portfolio of portraits of our critics, photographed by Richard Renaldi. Critics can be stars if you believe in what they do. Looking good, my friends and colleagues! www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Critical Distance
Richard Renaldi’s large-format portraits capture the New Yorker writers who hold the culture to account.
