You all are awesome. I'm using that piece, along with an interview with Wiley + Claude McKay's "If We Must Die" plus a Gwendolyn Brooks poem "The Boy Died in My Alley."
Now I'm looking for an article where a principal talks about the number of funerals she has attended. found it! [link]
Also, if you have other google-fu... Dee and Ricky is based on another pre 20th century portrait (much of Wiley's work is) and if you could figure out what, I'd be in awe. I can't. lots of his portraiture is titled "After ....." which explains where it is from.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I've never heard of Arkansas Black...
Don't feel bad. I haven't either and I've lived in Arkansas most of my life.

I'm kind of apple obsessed. I had read about Black Arkansas and kept looking for them. They are hard to find, although I'm seeing them a little more, and some growers in North Georgia have planted them. They showed up in some local farmers' markets this year.

okay, -t, you are AMAZING. Seriously. I'm too tired and impatient to look. Plus creating this insane-o assessment.

We were at Carl's Jr for lunch today and saw a man wearing this t-shirt
Turns out he is the artist who has done lots of t-shirts like this, and he was thrilled at our interest and was happy to pass on a card with his website. So I figured I'd do my bit for local fannish artists and give him a free ad.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
You know you're tired when you're scrolling back to put something in your copy buffer to respond to, and you just keep paging back and back and eventually you realize you've forgotten what it was you were trying to find. So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say I'm at the diminishing returns portion of the evening and call it a night.
