hi so everything is being complicated by my invisible disablities, and i am finding it hard to keep my head above water. i would love to find points of exchange with people with disabilities who write to survive. any advice, pointers, venues and anthologies to submit to, would be greatly welcome.

“The Hearing Trumpet forthrightly introduces eccentricity into the feminist debate as a perspective that’s a legitimate alternative to the patriarchal one: whatever is eccentric is Goddess-like in spirit.” -Olga Tokarczuk

people shouldnt overreact negatively to the Emily Wilson review, it's right there in the text that she more or less enjoyed the viewing, and certainly enjoying writing the piece. I guess "I'd be ashamed to have written this" is a bit harsh but... she's a real writer in an extremely demanding field

at one point in history husbands were so bad they took all the household money and became stumbling alcoholics and the wives had to organize and outlaw all the booze in AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

Goya rightly gets a lot of love for his Black Paintings, this slightly earlier work is another of my faves, The Burial of the Sardine (1812–1819). Love how it grows increasingly sinister the more details you pick out, the masked revellers surrounding the grinning 'King of the Carnival'...

The title is posthumous, referring to the culminating event, Entierro de la Sardina, of a three-day carnival in Madrid ending on Ash Wednesday. Masked and disguised revellers are seen dancing their way to the banks of the Manzanares, where a ceremonial sardine will be buried. Goya does not illustrate the fish in the painting, nor the large doll made of straw, called a pelele, from which it hung; the centrepiece is the darkly grinning "King of the Carnival".Mask detail. The painting is certainly a tribute to the common people, depicting an exuberant crowd carousing on the first day of Lent while other Spanish Catholics worship at church. Yet the celebration takes on a sinister aspect due to the many masked and blank faces.Bild
