If you want to understand food politics, Michael is your guy. Good suggestions for policy in this thread.
People are pissed about food prices. People are pissed about Trump. Affordability politics can be tricky and divisive, but there’s an obvious food affordability agenda that could unite the left and center behind good policy and good politics. A thread! 1

@paulchadwick.bsky.social really treated us to something special here, the story and art, reader letters, authors forum with insights into creative process. Fave is issue 4 about the various Concrete sculptures - and yes - your note that two would make perfect bookends was indeed correct :)

Reference photo for an illustration. It was a gun (in an antagonist's hand) in the painting. This is what I looked like in art school, anyway.

Red reflected light became a mannerism in Baroque painting. See Rubens.
Illustrator Barron Storey once told our class that in his art school days he thought it was cool, and was dotting red here & there in shadows -- and the instructor grabbed his wrist and stopped him. Said nothing.
