About the Negroes, the kind I don’t like is the philosophizing prophesying pontificating kind, the James Baldwin kind. Very ignorant but never silent. Baldwin can tell us what it feels like to be a Negro in Harlem but he tries to tell us everything else too. M. L. King I dont think is the ages great saint but he’s at least doing what he can do & has to do. Don’t know anything about Ossie Davis except that you like him but you probably like them all. My question is usually would this person be endurable if white. If Baldwin were white nobody would stand him a minute. I prefer Cassius Clay. “If a tiger move into the room with you,” says Cassius, “and you leave, that dont mean you hate the tiger. Just means you know you and him can’t make out. Too much talk about hate.” Cassius is too good for the Moslems.
Flannery O’Connor

Duh, homophobia affects white people too.

Great writer but I didn't know that side of her, damn.

You can take the girl out of Georgia but you can’t take the Georgia out of the girl.

I'm looking for a large abstract/intricate/trippy/whatever art print to put up by my desk. The dimensions that I'd prefer are 48in x 32in, but I have space for 72in x 42in. Don't really want to put nails in my wall so it'd have to be something that could come in a (quality) print/poster form.

Any suggestions? I was thinking about getting Garden of Earthly Delights but it feels like a cop out.

I have this on my wall, and my friend has it on her fridge, which we added colored led lights to to make it a complete art installation:

How about something by Max Ernst?

Love it

Yeah, it's a good one.
You should post more of your art, Mindy. I liked everything you showed us so far.

Another cool one!
