Happy Saturday!

Here’s what I have for you today:

What I watched this week:

  • Zarna Garg: One In a Billion

  • Monsen Photography Lecture: Catherine Opie


A few lil recs:

  • These have been saving my life.

  • This is my favorite sunscreen right now.

  • I’m asking for this for my birthday.


To read:

  • How Review-Bombing Can Tank a Book Before It’s Published

  • After “Barbie,” Mattel Is Raiding Its Entire Toybox

  • The Unknown Librarian Who Saved Queer History

Quotations:

The politic of space has always been as important as the politic of people.

-Catherine Opie


I don’t believe in the artist muse. I think it’s a very insulting thing. I believe in loving people and looking at people for a long time, and they’re not a muse—they’re part of your life and they’re part of your community.

-Catherine Opie


Tweets:

Cute.

Scary.

Yeah!


That’s all I have for you today.

I hope you have a great week & see some sun.
