Louder than bombs

May 7, 2024 | welcometohellworld.com | Annie Howard |Luke O'Neil

Is it devastating how many evil people there are in the world or instead is it heartening how many good people there are in spite of that? Just a little something that I think about 22 hours a day every day. The other two hours are for the Boston Celtics. Let me know where you land in the comments if you like. I'm sure with a little effort we can all get our heads together and figure out If Humanity Is Worth Saving Or Not. Coincidentally I just saw this poem come across my timeline.

Living a better fiction

Mar 21, 2024 | city-dreams.ghost.io | Annie Howard

“I wouldn’t say that being trans now is living my truth. I’d say it’s a better fiction. This is the genre of this body now. This is how it breathes easy.

Fuck that.” – McKenzie Wark, Love and Money, Sex and DeathI have been spending a lot of time lately thinking about truth and fiction.

How can a building embody music? This abstract question is one that Sara Caples, AIA, and Everardo Jefferson, co-principles at the New York firm Caples Jefferson Architects, first pondered 17 years ago—when they entered into competition with more than 40 other firms to design the Louis Armstrong Center, a multipurpose hub dedicated to the late jazz icon.
