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

![Page that is titled "an opportune death"
I don't know what she wore on her head. Her clothes had neither form nor colour. She came into the office with two children in her arms and dragging four more, all of them crying or shouting. One tugged at her hair, another at her skirt. One boy of about three shook with a strange sobbing, without actually crying. All together they watched their mother like musicians the conductor; a frightful symphony. She, however, had left the score on yhe elegant cadhew-wood desk.
She stood wide eyed before us. Something like a forced laugh, a piteous grimace, was explained by what she said; she was Armenian, her husband had died in some village, and she'd come seeking bread for her children. Now she was begging for shelter. Someone who knew her language told her there wasn't any room, and since she didn't want to understand they put her out on the corridor. She lay down there with her children until Tuesday afternoon. The next day, the same story, she came again many times.
Finally, they shoved her into a storehouse.

Now, the storehouse was lit by a candle: some bundle, wrapped in clean white cloth had been laid carefully down against the wall. It was the smallest of the Armenian woman's six children, and it had died a few hours after they'd found their place here. It's brothers and sisters were playing outside in the sunshine. The mother, now relieved of her burden, had held her baby for the last time. The other women envied her: tomorrow she could look for work. She's almost lucky. And the dead child, so dignified, waits](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:273mzuy3duyemo64xsxpeen4/bafkreickgt367mjk6skfavfplimt2iultrpsvgijm7pabt3frit4jy45pi@jpeg)

Letting lies out whilst not allowing people to access the truth is wrong. I don't care that it was done by the previous government, implementing it now was a choice, I haven't voted Labour since Corbyn and I will not do so again
