I hope I keep feeling like I'm learning all the time

I have spent the majority of my day in the pursuit of bureaucracy, which is obfuscating and elusive and in our supposedly frictionless digital age requires multiple rounds of phone tag, and am seriously tempted to run screaming into the afternoon. I hadn't known there was a documentary about Pete and Toshi Seeger and the Clearwater, but it's playing the Somerville in July. Recent fruits of college radio include Violet Grohl's "Bug in the Cake" (2026), the Japanese House's "Boyhood" (2023) and Noah Kahan's "Doors" (2026), which the DJ at WERS declared would make her cry all summer as she drove around Boston, unless she'd actually just been looking at the price of gas. I took a picture of myself yesterday with the late-blooming dogwood in my mother's yard.

You look like you'll vanish into it, like that iconic Simpsons gif--but it's a much more lovely wall of green than the one in that.

Happened to stumble across a disability-oriented exhibition at the Smith Art Museum (we were there for something else) that was really moving and well done. (I hope to post about it soon, but meanwhile here is a related zine) It was a pebble on the other side of the scales of all the scream-provoking stuff. (Here's to more dogwood to vanish into when needful, and less bureaucracy.)

Thank you! I am noodling at photographing faces in a totally unsystematic way. I don't know if it's working, but I liked the shadows in this one.

That's so cool! Thank you for the links! I love everyone's artist-bio photos, too.

All the pebbles we can find.
