This weekend I had the pleasure of diving into the
Public, Private, Secret exhibition at the International Center of Photography and was rather struck by the work of
Natalie Bookchin. Her pieces in the show consisted of compiled clips from YouTube thematically stitched together.
My Meds is a short undertaking but a powerful one - as it shows the state of prescribed medication told through real people's hardships with finding the proper balance. It's powerful because it's
simple.
The
I Am Not piece is similarly powerful, as are all of her
Testament pieces.

As we hurdle towards the release date of
Jay Leo Phillips release date for
One Million One Million One Million, I wanted to make sure you had
one more taste of what to expect from the album before it's available everywhere. So, here is the debut of the second track from the record, "
City Is".
It's a rather bombastic affair that shows off a bit more diversity of the record and its high energy. Oh, and if you haven't heard the first track - "(Do the) 20th Century" - get into it
here.

I haven't had a chance to visit it in person yet but I'm rather smitten with the images and videos from the
Shawna X art show,
Netscape. It's a wonderful mix of vibrant color palettes, nods to 8-bit culture with a dash of sex and floral work. It's a somewhat simplified version of what I'm
used to seeing from her but it's a refreshing turn while still being, clearly, the same artists work. I was already an unflinching fan but this just sealed the deal even more.

Crying. This is how it feels to be a woman. You follow all the rules and try to be professional and he talks over you about nothing. #debate

Never felt simultaneously angry & embarrassed & sad & like I'm going to have a panic attack before. Not the coolest feeling tbh. #debate

Pence?s aw-shucks sanctimony and effortless lying seem a lot more dangerous to me than Trump?s obvious unfitness

Fun fact: in addition to being wives and daughters and mothers and sisters and grandmas and aunties, women are also people.

Just as a reminder, @SenateGOP has been engaged in seven months of unprecedented obstruction to let Donald Trump fill a Supreme Court spot.

I have nothing new or original or funny to say, but I still wanna jump aboard this "Fuck Donald Trump" train.

Giving a nice deep dive into
Polygraph, a collection of "visually-driven essays" that investigates a number of different topics through data. Looking into
The Bechdel Test or
The Evolution of Music Taste through data is really an eye-opening read and the stories are surprisingly succinct and easy to consume.
