Maurycy Gottlieb, "Shylock and Jessica," 1887. Almost no one has made good art about the Merchant of Venice, but I'm obsessed with this.
walking home from a great date as the knicks pull ahead in the final five seconds and all of crown heights erupts in applause >>>
Save the date, NYC transsexuals-and-friends! Me and @kylelukoff.bsky.social are hosting this launch celebration for Chrysalis #2, and it will be so joyful!

Happy pride everyone, I was just invited to an event for “women and pussy-bodied folx/beings” 🏳️🌈
Instantly dropping dissertation work to eavesdrop on a middle-aged man at the table next to mine in the Center for the Art of Fiction cafe telling his middle-aged male friends at length about a bad mushroom trip he had at "this very woke club in Bushwick" called Nowadays
I am reading Plastic, Prism, Void right now and despite being generally put off and confused by formally experimental fiction, I am RIVETED and FASCINATED and DELIGHTED by this book, very highly recommend. The @littlepuss.net streak of publishing only impeccable bangers remains unbroken
Cat Fitzpatrick@catfitzpatrick.net · 2mo agoI would like to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to @blipstress.bsky.social whose amazing and beautiful book Plastic, Prism, Void just cracked the Indie top 40!
Today on my walk home through the quiet streets of Crown Heights I found these two cute baskets and a literal box of free beer. Thank you for smiling upon me, O spirits of Brooklyn

how are there so many days left in passover. I can’t stop thinking about goldfish crackers
Super productive research day: not only found the program for Maurice Schwartz’s “Shylock and His Daughter,” but also the Yiddish script (I thought only the English translation had survived) and a previously unknown to me Yiddish translation of Merchant by Abish Meisels, with hand-drawn cover
First relevant find: coupon for a discounted ticket to Maurice Schwartz’ adaptation of Merchant, hilariously misnamed here “Shylock and His Daughters” (in the Yiddish title daughter is singular, of course)
In the archives today supposedly doing research about Yiddish adaptations of the Merchant of Venice but actually just obsessing over how good mid century Yiddish graphic arts were
