saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023

These are the books I’ve ordered few weeks ago, I’m already excited! I also joined an online book club and our first read of the month is a classic by Ovid, the myth of Icarus and Daedalus from the metamorphoses (book viii). I knew this poem already because I’m a Greek-Roman mythology enthusiastic but I’ve never read it before now and I admit it was such a good reading! I’m gonna buy the physical book soon because I can’t wait to read more of Ovid’s poems.

Eiko Ishioka, Japanese designer (born July 12, 1938, Tokyo, Japan—died Jan. 21, 2012, Tokyo), won accolades in the worlds of theatre, film, and advertising for her sensual and compelling designs; her many honours included an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, and two Tony Award nominations. Ishioka began her career (1961) in the advertising division of the Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido and in the early 1970s opened her own advertising agency, where her avant-garde campaign for the boutique chain Parco made her a star in the design world. Her work as production and costume designer on the 1985 film Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters won her an award (shared with the cinematographer and the composer) for best artistic contribution at the Cannes Festival, and she won an Academy Award in 1993 for her costume design for Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992). Her design for the Miles Davis album Tutu won her a Grammy Award for best album package in 1986, and she was nominated for the 1988 Tony Awards for set design and costume design for her work on the Broadway play M. Butterfly. Ishioka designed costumes for the musical Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark(opened 2011) and for the Cirque du Soleil show Verekai (2002). In addition, she was director of costume design of the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

march 22, 2024// Reading outside the Palais Universitaire on the first warm day of the year in just a t-shirt and leather jacket. Wandering through the small museum in the basement of the palais trying to decipher the Greek writing on maps. Cheap, overly sweet coffee from the vending machine and looking up theater plays to see in the evening.

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.

You're doing your best.

No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.

So Fox News ran a story about how they think libraries are turning into drug-infested sex dens and I am shocked, shocked that I was never offered any drugs during my 15+ years working in libraries.
