I regret to inform you there is more Olivia Newzzi: the print VF will feature a nude portrait by artist Isabelle Brourman that is also destined for Art Basel Miami Beach. Notably, its inclusion appears be a surprise to VF staff. VF looking worse and worse here. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

TFW you run across someone's name in the news whom you haven't thought of for _decades_ and wonder if they are still a heinous bitch. I remember asking if it was a cultural thing or just the way they were and the other people looked guilty and said no, not a cultural thing.

It's a very good YA-friendly series about a group of high school kids who, through one mechanism or another, become superheroes. The biggest theme of the series is PTSD (none through sexual assault!), and I don't think I can recommend it enough. The series is complete (11 books), plus a spinoff.

I don't make a ton of money off my books, but I make money, and that money helps me pay my various life expenses -- which include the cost of putting out my books since I'm an indie author. I pay my editor and cover artists out of pocket, recoup the cost through sales, eventually. (4/)
