On Trust, Dumb Jokes, and Amusement Park Rides What I learned on my summer vacation

While watching dumb movies and riding amusement park rides this summer, I had some revelations about writing, reading, and trust. Come, let me show you:

#78: If the sun smiles on us both: the secret affair of French President François Mitterrand and Anne Pingeot Three decades of love, a secret child, and 1200 letters

"..I recall the impression of having traveled with you to another world, without trace or itinerary. The village where we ate didn’t have a name, the road had no end, and the rain fell from an obscured sky, created only to shelter our slow walk onward."

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

#75: "Ah, we must now redefine man, redefine tool, or accept chimpanzees as humans." Jane Goodall's letters home as she researched chimpanzees and changed science forever

Jane Goodall's letters home from her first expedition studying chimps show us something valuable: fuck waiting for a proper education, go get your hands dirty, and nothing beats dogged hyperfixation in achieving your dreams.

Wow, congrats, Aaron! That's incredibly cool

A floating crumbling tower block over a flat landscape.

Just missed out on this year’s John Moores Painting Prize with ‘Fracture’. Although I was amazed to get to Stage 2. Congratulations to those who got through!

What's happening isn't new - and we can't let it happen again.

Laurennnn! Could you help me re-obtain the address of who won my auction item? I got an email and then went through a health crisis, and now that I've emerged from the crisis can't find it for the life of me :-/. Thank you!

What texture!

#72: Cher Monsieur Caubet France and the First World War

For May, I translated ten WWI-era letters I found at a Toulouse flea market - if you love to hate petty French bureaucracy and office drama, you'll love giving these a read.

All the hidden emotion. 'The color within' by Isa Guadalupe Medina is perfection.

You best count me in for next year's!

Since March, my CPTSD's been the worst of my life. I used to be a masking pro, but I’m weeks behind on my newsletter, on art projects, on calling friends.

To folks waiting on me: I’m coming. I promise.
To folks rooting for me: I got this. I promise.
& to folks in crisis: We'll be OK. I promise.

Using 11 cameras and 11 photographs, "Two Ways" by fine art photographer js.dykstra really brings 2d photography into a new realm!

Happy Lorraine Hansberry's birthday!

Oh good call - I'll put some feelers out :)

I'm looking for a home for my near-future short story about a throuple trying to make rent in Denver after the city puts up billboards to block the sun. Tell me if your magazine's open so I can send it over!

THANK YOU! I actually hand wrote the final few pages, it felt really good to experiment with a different method for getting the end of it down :). Now to begin the editing journey lol

I just finished draft one of my latest novel! Can I get a woop woop???

This is 100% why @adapalmer.bsky.social is my idol. Among many reasons.
