I’m listening back and forth to the censored & the finally published uncensored (15 years ago) versions of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. I’m going to need to read paperback versions too. Anyone doing this close reading or want to? #oscarwilde #doriangray #norelation
The Flax on Market closed a long time ago. Before the Oakland store opened.
The one in For Mason is staying open but what a schlep. Arch Art Supplies will be my new spot, is also in SF.
Flax, my favorite art store, is closing in Oakland. I’ve been shopping there since the early 90s (Valencia & Market, SF). Their paper and pens departments are unmatched here for knowledge and breadth. So few indie spots left & they have my 💜 & 💰
I am excited to soon meet whirl famous derp.
Anyway, if you're in CA call your state reps and tell them to vote for the HUG ACT or AB 1646 so that kids that we've fucking imprisoned (hey what) can HUG THEIR FAMILIES

I had a preliminary interview over the phone unexpectedly and with a robot. It asked why I’m the most beautiful candidate for the job.
Same. We listened on rainy days when we couldn’t play outside for lunch & we had it at home too😻

Thinking about Rosie Grier, the football player, who sang “It’s Alright to Cry” on the Free To Be album in 1974. Did you have a favorite song or story on this album? The art is beautiful too.
