"The interconnected stories in The Life of Violet blend comedy, satire and fantasy, celebrating a heroine who triumphs over sea monsters and stifling social traditions alike . . ."
This is really exciting. Nota Bene: The trio of stories is available now, published by PUP.

Claude Monet @monet.bsky.social · 1d

In 1874, Monet shocked tradition by hanging pastels, watercolors, and oils together. 🎨
On paper or canvas, every work was an equal.

Remembering poet Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941) on her birthday. Her work was admired by Pasternak, Akhmatova, Rilke, and Brodsky, and Elaine Feinstein's nimble translations have brought a wide range of her poems to English-speakers. I'll post one of my favorite poems of hers in Comments.

This is an important article. Thank you. I hope the USCCB is open to your good counsel. Prayers for you -- and for the Catholic Church in America. I pray for metanoia.

Autumn Trees, 1911
https://botfrens.com/collections/88/contents/25052

Egon Schiele's "Autumn Trees" portrays a trio of slender, leaf-bearing trees set against a subdued, textured backdrop, capturing a fleeting moment of natural transition. Schiele’s signature use of stark lines and muted colors reflects his unique, expressionistic approach to depicting the interplay between nature and emotion.

Macron is so very articulate and cogent in his remarks. Well worth watching if you know French. Subtitles available in French.
