Rough ideas for an album art project. It’s for Popol Vuh, so I’m thinking hippie-refreshed art nouveau (or I guess jugendstil, since they’re German) with a moog.
Excellent black & white underwater photography by Hengki Koentjoro. I don’t know that I’ve seen b&w work underwater, it really works well to capture the weird feeling of being suspended in a sort of infinity.

Interesting type experiments (give it a moment), with actual cut out type.
Little ghost friend.
First stick and poke! The dots are a lot smaller than I expected, I think I needed a bigger needle. (do you thing so, tumblrites?) Still, so pleased.
The Hälssen & Lyon tea calendar features calendar days made from tea leaves.
No more,” now what do I do with this old calendar?”

The Civil Rights Act did not cause inflation by “excessive” spending on welfare, housing, or other social services. Further, Blacks aren’t discriminating against whites: whites are not being herded into ghetto housing; removed from or prohibited from entering professions; deprived of decent education; forced into malnutrition and early death; subjected to racial violence and police repression; forced to suffer disproportionate levels of unemployment, and other forms of racial oppression. …The fact is “reverse racism” is a hoax. Anti-black discrimination is not a thing of the past. It is the systematic all pervasive reality today!

Lorenzo Komboa Ervin, in Anarchism and The Black Revolution (1993, some things don’t change so fast.) Free pdf. Gets into the racism-classism with the construction of “white” connection too.
So my mother subscribes me to The Economist (because queer wasn’t a phase but maybe anarchist is?) and a recent cover called for the end of Affirmative Action, the article citing things like, “Well Obama and Jay-Z are rich, soooo yeah.” I remember when I thought The Economist was legit and reasonable. It’s ok, little self, you learned.
