Critics dismissed Hopper’s Soir Bleu (1914), so he kept it for life.
The rejection set his course early: crowds without comfort, company without connection—public solitude long before fame arrived.

Three story orange brick and stone apartment building. The facade of the first story is clad in smooth stone; the other two in orange brick. There are curved 3-story bays on both sides of the building topped with stone balustrades and stone lintels and other decoration at the roof line. In the center, on the second and third floors, a rectangular stone balconies supported by square brick columns. The brick on the columns is slightly different from the rest of the facade, which makes it seem like it's not original.
1926 Chicago Tribune ad: "For Colored. 5356-5358 Indiana-av: beautiful 6-7 rms, 2 baths: private front and rear porches"
1926 Chicago Defender ad: "6-7 Rooms--2 Bath 5356-58 Indiana Ave. Beautiful rooms off hall: large light: fine for rooming; big private front and rear porches."
1936 Tribune: black and white photograph of a smiling 8-year-old boy with dark curly hair. He is wearing a jacket with a pocket handkerchief, a checkered shirt, an a striped tie. "Charles C. Nichols, the eight-year-old son of Mrs. Lou Ella Nichols and "Nick the Greek" Nichols, 5358 Indiana avenue, Chicago, who is still telling his many friends how he enjoyed the Chicago Defender Bud Billiken club's picnic."
5356-58 S. Indiana, Chicago. 1907, Robert S. Smith, architect. I didn't think the balconies were original, but they are present on the 1925 Sanborn map, so they are at least that old. 1926 ads from the Tribune and the Chicago Defender for contrast, plus a cutie pie.
God this shit is so ugly, just so, so ugly
The "five presidents" at Rev. Jesse Jackson's memorial service get another round of applause:
"President Harris, President Clinton, President Bill Clinton, First Lady Jill Biden, President Biden, and Chicago's own southside President Barack Obama."
This made me giggle.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
Everyone needs to know the extent of what the U.S did.
An unarmed Iranian ship invited to a joint Indian naval exercise paraded its sailors before the president alongside other participants, including the U.S.
At the last minute, the U.S. withdrew from the exercise and torpedoed the Iranian vessel

I love Francesca Woodman.
I remember being incredibly moved by her work when I visited Tate Liverpool a few years ago. What a brave woman she was. So vulnerable.
