[Image description: three art pieces by Choctaw/Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson. All three pieces are wall hangings, made of bead weaving, with long fringe. The first two also incorporate metal jingles. All have very vibrant and clashing colors. They have text woven into the beads, in all capital letters. The colors and patterns mean that reading the text may cause eye strain.

The first piece says “American history is longer, larger, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it. JB”.

The second piece says “I am Alive, You are Alive, They are Alive, We are Living! I am Alive, You are Alive, They are Alive, We are Living!”

The third piece says “Eye of the storm; like a hurricane.” End ID. /]

the UNRWA is disbursing payments again! the US had to walk back its disastrous decision to quit funding Palestine relief. is $5m a very small place to start considering the work needing to be done, yeah, it is, but we are moving in the right direction finally.

if a poorly cropped email means nothing to you, here is their official statement!

monk monkey episode was way too silly for an episode of monk. that show should NOT have a monkey episode. however it would have been a perfect episode of psych. they should have just waited a couple years and used the plot on that show. early 2000s USA network call me i have ideas for episodes nearly 2 decades old at this point
