superstars

#SuzanneBroughel 🎨Superstars (Dreamcatcher Series)", 2010. Basketballs, shoelaces. 🎨 "In my work, I explore the construct of race in the United States. Sifting through history, popular culture and autobiography, I look at our present moment’s disconnect between post-racial fantasies and unequal reality. I am interested in the personal as political, so I look at my own body and I look at skin color. Tie dye, mandalas, African and Native American fabric patterns – styles that reference “hippie culture”, “New Age” practices, and cultural appropriation are where form and content meld for me. My materials are everyday household objects such as bed sheets, bandaids, and self-tanning lotions. Though mass produced commodities, these are items we bring into our homes, put on our skin, sleep on. It is from this personal, intimate voice that the strongest dialogue on race begins, while the connection to global capitalism reminds us that we are part of a bigger picture that is structural."

the hidden life of trees

The Hidden Life of Trees : What They Feel, How They Communicate: Discoveries from a Secret World

Wohlleben, Peter/ Flannery, Tim (FRW) (Author).

Are trees social beings? In this international bestseller, forester and author Peter Wohlleben convincingly makes the case that, yes, the forest is a social network.
He draws on groundbreaking scientific discoveries to describe how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. Wohlleben also shares his deep love of woods and forests, explaining the amazing processes of life, death, and regeneration he has observed in his woodland.
After you have read The Hidden Life of Trees, a walk in the woods will never be the same again.

Emergency Department

Emergency Department

by Kat Lehmann (Goodreads Author)

wheeled like dim sum (I make offerings)

my red rivers spill
in the tapping of the one good vein

while repetitive beeps of wayward machines
rehearse their uninspired 1980s electronica
and me, writing these words on the back
of an envelope with a borrowed dry erase marker

(don't second guess yourself, you did the right thing)

a night without my children—
I watch them round a distant corner with their father

"Irregular EKG," the doctor said.
"It's like your heart doesn't know what to do."

"Whose does?" I ask. Whose does.
