ahhh!

There’s a university in Sweden where students let out primal screams at 10pm every night. 

The ‘Flogsta Scream’ occurs when students in Uppsala’s Flogsta neighborhood keep up tradition by stopping what they’re doing at exactly 10pm and collectively screaming from their balconies, windows, and rooftops to help blow off steam and ease the stresses of college exams.

Have you seen the New Yorker article recently posted entitled, "Broken, Defaced, Unseen: The Hidden Black Females of Western Art" by Robin Coste Lewis?

BROKEN, DEFACED, UNSEEN: THE HIDDEN BLACK FEMALE FIGURES OF WESTERN ART

[“The Voyage of the Sable Venus from Angola to the West Indies,” a wood engraving by W. Grainger after T. Stothard.]

I had not seen or read this yet, and I’m so grateful you’ve brought it to my attention.

The entire article is an incredibly moving meditation on the life-transforming powers of art and research.
