ABOLISH ICE sign made with plastic pieces that are affixed to a chain link fence along Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood.

This beautiful ABOLISH ICE sign has appeared on a chain link fence in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). The plastic pieces seem like they are possibly designed specifically to grab fences to make signs like this. Very nice presence on a gloomy day.

A booklet cover showing a photo of a purple chain hotel in Milwaukee in early evening light. Info on the booklet from the back cover: Since founding this project in 2007, Public Collectors has always focused on what can be done informally, without institutional support or validation. This booklet describes how a self-initiated artist residency in a hotel can be a productive creative retreat that doesn’t require an application or invitation. Artists probably started making art in hotels soon after hotels came into existence. Some hotels today have artist in residence programs where they invite artists to stay in their rooms and use them as studios. This approach depends on the artist receiving an invitation and isn’t open to anyone. Other kinds of artist residencies require applications and can be very expensive if they aren’t funded by the residency program. In 2024 I started exploring the idea of giving myself a short residency whenever I wanted one by looking at off-season hotel prices in the Midwest, where I live. I started thinking about specific approaches to making that would be well-suited for a hotel room, what I should pack, and how I should structure my brief stay. The idea of a self-residency in a hotel is not novel but every time I say to someone that I’ve done this, they tell me what a useful idea it is and how much they want to try it. Hotel residencies may be particularly enticing for artists that work from home and don’t normally spend money on an off-site studio. The self-initiated hotel artist residency is for people who think a simple room in an uninspiring place might be just the ticket to complete a project that doesn’t require much more than a quiet place to be. If you can bring your own supplies and inspiration and prefer solitude, sometimes a room without much of a view and a plate of complimentary breakfast might be all you really need to make your work for two or three days.

New Public Collectors zine!

Kiehl's has a patchouli and rose combo that's very "dirty hippie, Go Ask Alice" era (versus neo pretend Coachella hippie). however I used to just layer Kiehl's original musk 1 with straight up patchouli oil, which made people cough LOL

oh god! the Occult Bookstore! Then off to Cafe Voltaire!

Who is allowed to smell bad? Avant-garde notes like gasoline and garlic are becoming popular with indie fragrance brands – but when formerly stigmatised scents become luxury, only some people are allowed to get away with it

This essay at @dazeddigital.com is fascinating and makes me want to go back to wearing the Kiehl's/patchouli mix again and alienating everyone www.dazeddigital.com/beauty/artic...

That statue, which was cast back in 1961, was modeled on 1950s Texas Rangers – as in the law enforcement Texas Rangers – Captain Jay Banks. Since it's unveiling 65 years ago it has spent most of its life at Love Field in Dallas. But then in 2020 it was removed and placed in storage. Why? Because Captain Jay Banks was a racist cop who made it his mission to stop schools from integrating. This is an excerpt from the 2020 book, Cult of Glory: The Bold and Brutal History of the Texas Rangers by Doug Swanson, which describes' Banks' role in efforts to keep schools in Texas racially segregated in defiance of the United States Supreme Court's 1954 decision, Brown v. Board of Education: Then there is the form and face of the statue itself. This dates to 1956, when the NAACP, backed with a court order, attempted to integrate the high school in Mansfield, about 30 miles southwest of Dallas. White residents erupted in fury, so Gov. Allan Shivers dispatched the Rangers. But unlike state police in other Southern racial hotspots, the Rangers in Mansfield did not escort black students past howling mobs of white supremacists. They had been sent instead to keep the black children out of a white school.

The commanding Ranger on the scene was Sgt. E.J. “Jay” Banks. A wire service photo showed him casually leaning against a tree outside Mansfield High. To his left, above the school’s entrance, was a dummy in blackface, hanging from a noose. Nearby a white mob had assembled. Some carried signs that threatened death for anyone attempting to integrate the school. Banks saw no need to remove the effigy or disperse the mob. “They were just ‘salt of the earth’ citizens,” he later wrote. “They were concerned because they were convinced that someone was trying to interfere with their way of life.” Blacks were so intimidated that none attempted to enroll at Mansfield. Several days later, Gov. Shivers ordered Banks and a few other Rangers to Northeast Texas, because African-Americans wished to take classes at all-white Texarkana Junior College, a public institution. Again the Rangers’ job was to stop black students from enrolling. As at Mansfield, a mob of white men gathered outside the school. An 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy, both black, arrived by cab and began to walk toward the college. The mob blocked their path. Some surrounded the 17-year-old and kicked him, while others threw gravel. The Rangers watched it happen and did nothing except threaten to arrest the two students. That wire service photo of Banks in front of the school with the Black person hung in effigy can be seen at the top of today's newsletter.

The statue was removed from public view in 2020 in the wake of that book about the Rangers being published. This occurred at the same time that statues of Confederates, Klansmen, racists, and segregationists were removed all over the country following the murder of George Floyd. But now the Texas Rangers Baseball Club, knowing full well the history of the statue, its subject, and its removal, and knowing that multiple municipal institutions decided it was inappropriate for public display, is happy to put that statue up in a public concourse at a major league baseball stadium. When I learned of this yesterday afternoon I contacted Major League Baseball and asked the following questions: Is Major League Baseball aware of the history of the "One Riot, One Ranger" statue and its subject, Jay Banks? Is Major League Baseball aware that Love Field and the City of Dallas removed the statue and put it in storage in 2020 after Banks' involvement in attempting to keep schools segregated in the 1950s came to light? Does Major League Baseball condone one of its Clubs erecting a previously-removed statue of a staunch segregationist at its ballpark?; and Does Major League Baseball have any comment regarding the discomfort that will be felt by Black fans when confronted with the statue of a segregationist at Globe Life Field? I did not receive a response. I'm going to assume that the league's silence on this means that it wholly condones the Rangers putting up the "One Riot, One Ranger" statue despite its sordid and extraordinarily well-reported history.

Yesterday the Texas Rangers erected a statue of a segregationist cop at Globe Life Field. A statue that was removed from public property in 2020 because of its racist history. @mlb.com has refused to comment. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...
