@RonFilipkowski Isn't this the plot of Peter Pan? When the children in the film or play (and the audience) clap to save Tinkerbell?

She's the genius of the universe.

The 92nd street Y, to their eternal glory, has uploaded hundreds of recordings of speakers who have graced their stage.

We are talking T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, Edmund Wilson (!), Mary McCarthy, Irving Howe, and much more.

Check it out here!

Oh he is absolutely darling. You have multiplied the people who love him. He is tucked into many hearts now. And his mama holds him as she did before he was born, near her heart. This does not ease the pain of losing him, but it lessens the fear that you will forget him, that you will miss him less. Your old life will return, but you will walk through it with him. He is still your baby.

We want to look to tradition, with a bow to the Brits, because CORGIS, with this in mind: The cat at 10 Downing Street's official title is Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office. "Chief Corgi to the Campaign." Or, "Corgi in Residence." Simple, dignified, sadly does not mention his ears or his good cheer.

Some of the artwork from the "Madeline" books really is stunning.

Unfathomable to imagine it appearing in children's books today.

This reminds me of interviewing the Wooster Group stalwart, playwright, scholar, and translator Paul Schmidt on live radio, when the then Lady President of UT, a dietician by training, was listening during her lunch hour. (On Tuesdays, it was me, bringing culture.) So I asked, "Tell me Paul Schmidt, what brings you to the University of Texas at Austin?" And he replied, "Well, Nancy, I just like to sit out by the pool, smell the flowers, and blow dope." It was the best segue of what would be my long career, as I replied, "Speaking of Baudelaire...."

This fall, I had the pleasure of re-reading Karl Ove Knausgaard’s work for the New York Times. I’m grateful for the assignment, the brilliant editing, and Knausgaard, for giving me so much to think about, as always: https://t.co/UmlUa3R2Iz

The Essential Karl Ove Knausgaard https://t.co/925m1VBRJS
My favorite writer on his favorite writer: Adam Dalva reads (all of) Knausgaard.

@dieworkwear Both of these threads are (It's a) wonderful (life), but it really helps with these clothes to also look like Jimmy Stewart. Or be him, really. Unless under those clothes is somebody we don't think of as "Jimmy Stewart," and it's all tailoring.

@dieworkwear These are excellent photos.

@skiistiredasf Alex Katz (after the artist) whose dogs for Paul Taylor's "Diggity" look like this, as does the artist himself.
