.hanselmann I can’t recommend this comic enough
・・・
The inimitable Simon Hanselmann just finished up a daily project that started back on March 13th. “Crisis Zone” was not the hopeful, decent, escapist media we believed we needed these past 9 months. This daily comic strip is the werewolf looking back in the mirror when you swear the monster isn’t you. Our mild manners were put to the test this year (and the test continues) and this extraordinary comic uncannily captures the quest for whatever we’re fighting for, honestly, I feel like I’ve forgotten a little bit.

If you have art to contribute to the Underwood zine number 3 about building a better world - try to get submissions in to [email protected] by the end of the year. I’ll be compiling them in January. We’re gonna start 2021 off right.

We’re extremely excited that Moriah Pie is putting out a cookbook in early 2021, full of their ingenuity, wisdom, lessons and, of course, their recipes. We’re so honored to be a small part of its creation and we hope it brings a lot of inspiration to everyone who reads it. To learn more about when the books will be available and, eventually, how you can order a copy, follow the link in the linktree in our bio. You will not want to miss this opportunity to support this institution of unique hopefulness.

A very dear pillar of the Norwood community (and to be honest, the Cincinnati and even Southern Ohio community) has moved on. The little pizza shop called Moriah Pie on the corner of Mills and Carter has closed its doors. It was a bold anti-capitalist bastion that spoke softly and carried a tiny sprig of foraged lavender in its mouth. Pay-what-you-can pizza is radical and is also a very difficult model to pull off even in the most generous of economic systems. To attempt it in America is downright revolutionary. And, to go a step further by supplying the ingredients from pesticide and insecticide-free farms and gardens within a few blocks of the restaurant, planted, tended, sown and harvested by the proprietors of the restaurant, is crucially ridiculous. This prospect meant that Moriah Pie was a perpetual art installation in the heart of Norwood, revealing the subtle cruelties, distractions, disillusionments and commodifications that our capitalistic society offers. It also demonstrated a beautiful alternative. We’ll miss you, MP, but we’re thrilled you’ll live on in the form of a lovingly made cookbook.

Some inspiration from about how to create the future. Whatever it’s gonna be, and however it’s gonna get there, it’s gonna be creative. Make art about it and submit it to the for our “Six Feet Under(wood)” issue. We’re burying this ol’ world and planting seeds for the delicious and nutritious one we want to grow. All money made from the zine will go to support orgs in Ohio, Nebraska and Colorado that are all about the work of cultivating justice, eradicating poverty and creatively taking responsibility for each other and ourselves.

Just wanted to remind you that today is when the United States official withdraws from the Paris Climate Agreement. There is no good reason for doing this. This is a childish reaction to a fabricated unfairness to the US. This agreement was just one step in a long list of steps that must be taken to keep our planet habitable. It’s beyond foolish to throw away this chance to do the easiest thing our government can do to even merely be perceived as though it cares about human beings and all other living things.

Art by who captioned this by saying “Heard recently that ‘abracadabra’ translates to ‘as I speak, I create,’ something nice about that.”

I think that sentiment is correct. There is something essentially nice about that.

And so, where do we go from here?

When thinking about what art you’re going to make right now, think about the world that art creates. Think about what it manifests.

Words are deeds. It all matters. Say it beautifully.

I also implore you to share it and include it in the next issue of Underwood, whose theme is about the reality we want to create from here. Once we bury this moment, this day, this year six feet away from us in the cold cold ground, what we have left is everything else. Let’s make art about it.

All money made from the sale of the next Underwood will go to organizations holding up poor, marginalized, incarcerated, and unheard people. Please participate in the work and send your art to [email protected]

☯️ YOU DON’T HAVE 2 DRINK ☯️

(even if you want to!) i’m remembering how i felt on election night 4 years ago ~ as soon as the results were clear the people i was with started to get black out drunk and do drugs and leave their bodies as fast as possible 〰️

while this could honestly be a great option for some people! (no judgement on those pals or what anyone needs to do in relation to substances) for me to drink is to die and in that moment i wanted to drink so bad, and i didn’t 🎈 even though i wanted to! i walked home and went to bed 🔸 so i’m really thinking about how to protect my sobriety over the next few days

it’s been over 9 years since i’ve taken a drink and i’ve never had more drinking dreams or had drinking cross my mind more than i have this year 🌀☀️ all to say ~ if you’re a non drinker and want to keep it that way : keep your people close, after you make your voting plan make a plan that protects your sobriety, and remember on election day you only have to NOT DRINK until you go to bed then do it again the next day 🤍🤍🤍

My friend and some of his buddies made a series of little animated shorts celebrating my hometown library, the here in Covington. The shorts are cute and conclude with books prevailing so it’s a very happy ending. @ Kenton County Public Library
