Did This 19th-Century Painting Inspire Taylor Swift’s New Album Art? The dramatic teal green cover for the singer’s forthcoming “The Life of A Showgirl” is an apparent wink to John Everett Millais’s famous “Ophelia.”

A 19th-century artwork that has inspired artists from Surrealist Salvador Dalí to contemporary painter Ed Ruscha may be the influence behind the cover for Taylor Swift’s forthcoming album, “The Life of A Showgirl.”

Arts clubs: the art world’s best kept secret—and not just for artists, dealers and curators

Though primarily a haven for artists and the like, arts clubs also have a lively programme of exhibitions and events—usually free—for members of the public

Excerpt from the Times article on Khalil’s arrest & the situation at Columbia: “Students who were not U.S. citizens should avoid publishing work on Gaza, Ukraine & protests related to their former classmate’s arrest, urged Stuart Karle, a First Amendment lawyer & adjunct professor…. ‘If you have a social media page, make sure it is not filled with/commentary on the Middle East, he told the gathering in Pulitzer Hall. When a Palestinian student objected, the journalism school’s dean, Jelani Cobb, was more direct about the school’s inability to defend international students from federal prosecution. ‘Nobody can protect you, Mr. Cobb said. ‘These are dangerous times.’”

Columbia U has an endowment of ~$15B, w/extensive funds & resources to defend the first amendment rights of its students in court if needed

The sentiments re Khalil’s arrest below violate the very spirit of American journalism—and it’s shameful on the part of Columbia Journalism & dean Jelani Cobb

What’s happening in North Carolina is way more damaging to democratic norms than trump’s gulf of America troll.

Opinion | The Supreme Court Case Over Trans Youth Could Also Decimate Women’s Equality The principle of sex equality itself is at stake.

Excellent overview of how and why the Supreme Court's trans healthcare case could impact sex discrimination and gender inequality writ large.

"Tennessee’s argument would call into question the longstanding freedom we all enjoy to live our lives as we wish, regardless of sex."

there is a certain wealth level beyond which you basically never hear the word no ever again. That's the cutoff point. Not hearing no breaks the human brain. We are not built to afford everything and value nothing

it's amazing how they keep flanking him with the most miserable, evil-looking people you can imagine when he looks like a marble sculpture that escaped from the museum in the vatican
