Between reading and listening I needed to draw. I found a video of a train window on my phone and ran with it. Then I read this beautiful and fitting James Baldwin quote this morning: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

In October 1883, a paper in the nation's capital reported that "an Iowa woman has spent seven years embroidering the solar system on a quilt." Ellen Harding Baker used her stunning quilt to teach astronomy in an era when women could not attend college https://t.co/EfUqQdXB4U

Re my @NewYorker cover: the bathroom I designed when we moved to Berlin
Kids were so in love with the NYC subway wanted to ease the transition.
When first showed it to my then 6 year old, he looked at it for 20 secs, then said „the JMZ trains are missing“ turned around and left.
