I've been drawing with my left hand as a righty for almost a decade. There's no better reminder of what you can observe and learn than when you're at a handicap.

Martha Diamond was right-handed but painted with her left because she felt it was the side of her brain that saw volume and color better, kept her work immune to bad habits. Here’s “Facade” from 1981, what a miracle.

The Vatican has unveiled the official mascot of the Holy Year 2025: Luce (Italian for Light).

Archbishop Fisichella says the mascot was inspired by the Church's desire "to live even within the pop culture so beloved by our youth."

@sarahlovescali I got into roman-fleuves recently and have been reading Dance to the Music of Time. I'm keeping my eye out for Cazalet at bookstores!

"urgently do more”: if only we could figure out what exactly! oh well, i’m sure a hazy injunction (simply to “do”—what doesn’t matter) is just the thing netanyahu should be left to interpret. it’s not as if a global antiwar public’s been issuing precise demands for the past year

"Writers in time transfer the mendacity of their craft to the other areas of their lives. In that trivial area of barroom biographical anecdotage, it is so much easier to shape, reorder, impose climax and denouement, augment here, diminish there..."— Anthony Burgess
