Richard Mayhew, a painter of Black and Native American heritage, was known for his explosively colorful abstract landscapes inspired in part by his forebears’ relationship to the land. He has died at 100. nyti.ms/481Jl6Y

@OKeeffeFeminism @Plathbiography One real revelation of that biography for me was that Plath herself had such a strong visual sense—painting, sketching, collaging, etc., and often taking inspiration from paintings.

Among the notable details in @plathbiography RED COMET: At Smith College in 1951, Plath and her roommate "decorated their . . . room with . . . a large Georgia O'Keeffe print . . . [believing] the print would tie the room together, with its cool shades of green, blue, and white."

One pot of burnt #ValentinesDay fudge later, I can attest to two things: 1)you really should test the calibration on your old candy thermometer; 2) with family, at least, it really is the thought that counts (provided you don’t insist they actually taste the fudge).

I’ve been reading Amanda Hickie’s novel Before This is Over, which is set in Sydney during a viral epidemic. And it’s so close to the current reality that I couldn’t stand the suspense and had to skip ahead to the ending.

Wondering today if the assumptions and hierarchies within a given family are actually revealed in the resolution of smaller dilemmas such as who gets to take the only intact umbrella on a rainy morning. But maybe it’s just because I’m grumpy when I’m damp.

Seen on a walk (#2): large dog racing fleetly down the sidewalk, dragging an upturned metal bench behind him as easily as if it were a sled. Two men ran after him, but it took a third, coming from the other direction, to intercept him by catching hold of a leg of the bench.

Something seen on a walk (#1): Fierce orange sparks snapping out into the air as two workers weld a stanchion into place on a bridge railing.

@s_inayatulla @xUnionMaidx Every time I encounter the haughty disdain of an NYC bodega cat, I feel as if I’ve stepped into an inverted fairy tale.

Glass was there and came out to join the curtain call.

Was nervous about seeing Philip Glass’s Akhenaten. Have listened to the music before, but only as background, so I worried I might, well, doze off. But the staging at the Met was mesmerizing. Juggling! And ethereal singing, especially by Anthony Roth Constanzo and J’Nai Bridges.
