I’ve been all over the country in the last month.

And I get asked the same question, over and over again:

“I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?”

Here is my answer:

@tarakmenon So excited to read -- congratulations!! 🥂

Listening to Keats in preparation for teaching and eating chocolate cake -- cannot complain about my job atm

@Hosmeriana Actually you've potentially solved my problem with the DACS suggestion -- and I feel so stupid! Marcel Dyf = Marcel Dreyfus!

[Amanda Auerbach @amanda_auerbach]

Does anyone know how to go about trying to obtain rights for a work of art if you can't find contact info for an artist's estate? (I want to obtain rights for something from 1957 by Marcel Dyf for academic book cover)

[Amanda Auerbach @amanda_auerbach]

@Stella_Steve20 I'm looking to obtain permission to use painting by someone else on my book cover

[Amanda Auerbach @amanda_auerbach]

@Hosmeriana That's reassuring -- fingers crossed that channel works!

[Amanda Auerbach @amanda_auerbach]

@Hosmeriana Thank you! Dyf unfortunately doesn't come up on the DACS artist search tool, but this is a great resource to have

@poetastrologers True about my Leo, though essentially nothing else I've heard is (like being attention hogs, extroverted, etc.)

Procrastination is ideological in that in implies waiting to be saved by some yet-to-surface creative force the same way these political theatrics imply that. I'm learning to exit the limbo early without losing any of the rumination and dream time we do there.

The humanities do not help us *become* more humane, but to understand what it would mean to *be* humane. The becoming is not up to the humanities but to us.
