Another pair of stage used (and signed) jazz shoes from the Broadway Revival, these were worn by Jessica Cohen who played Sillabub during the last six months of the production. As with all of the shoes, it is great to see the painted details that went one them up close!

As a bit of an aside, these are the smallest pair of shoes I have, and they are definitely Sillabub sized!

A Bodily Autonomy Decorative Sunday

These gorgeous posters are a selection of work from Our Bodies Our Resistance, published by the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative in 2023 in an edition of 150. The collection was curated by Molly Fair, a multidisciplinary artist, member of Justseeds, and a librarian (huzzah!). The thirteen risograph prints, cover sheet, and colophon were printed at Cowboy Press in Richmond, VA. They come wrapped in green hanky, screen-printed by Mary Tremonte at Lavender Estero in Pittsburg, PA. The green bandana is a symbol of the Marea Verde (“Green Wave” or “Green Tide”) an abortion rights movement that began in Argentina in the early 2000s and has since swept across Latin America. The design for the hanky was “cut from one piece of paper” by artist Devon Cohen, and “uplifts grizzly bears and three plants -- tansy, rue, and pennyroyal -- that have documented use over the centuries as abortifacients” (from the colophon). 

Some of the posters are also available as digital download here, for use in organizing work under an Attribution NonCommercial-ShareAlike license. Check out our photo captions for artist attributions.

Featuring art by Devon Cohen, Alec Dunn, Molly Fair, Sarah Farahat, Christeen Francis, Sanya Hyland, Kill Joy, Josh MacPhee, Fernando Martí, Andrea Narno, Saiyare Refaei, Jessica Sabogal, Meredith Stern, and Mary Tremonte.

60% of the proceeds of this portfolio will be donated to the National Network of Abortion Funds’ Collective Power Fund. This fund redistributes “direct abortion funding to 28 member abortion funds across more than 20 states. Funding is concentrated in the South and Midwest, where it’s often hardest to get an abortion. The Collective Power Fund supports the cost of an abortion, transportation to a clinic, childcare. lodging, and abortion doula support.”

Dracula (2013)

I'm still not over the fact that they cancelled Dracula after one season 10 years ago, it had so much potential and a very amazing cast!

I might be (likely am) wrong, but I feel like one of the last times we got comic canon confirmation that Hal Jordan is Jewish was in Green Lantern the Animated Series v.1 #8 The Hammer and the Nail released in 2012.

The entire story is an allegory to Chanukah and quite endearing with many subtle references to the original story of Chanukah and Jewish symbolism from the use of color to the names of the aliens Hal interacts with.

Within the story it takes place over eight days, where Hal is stranded on a planet where he must stretch out his power ring's charge to cover that time while aiding a subjugated and alienated people, something that was supposed to be impossible to do with the amount of charge he had left. When his ring's charge would run out, Hal would no longer be able to breathe the air or understand the people there he was determined to help.

The direct approach to Hal being Jewish comes from Kilowog.

This is my time again to urge people to watch Green Lantern the Animated series and read the tie-in comics, you won't be disappointed.

THE HEBREW TEACHER by Maya Arad, translated by Jessica Cohen, is praised for its "craft and magic" in a glowing review in Lilith Magazine by novelist Martha Anne Toll. "Stunning…We can recognize ourselves…Passages like these had me tearing up. Their ability to conjure an entire world in a few sentences demonstrates both the author and the translator’s gift for language." https://lilith.org/articles/the-painful-business-of-family-living/
