TONIGHT Wednesday, October 30th, join fellow ghouls and goblins for a virtual book club that’s sure to send shivers down your spine! 👻🍂 In this modern retelling, retired soldier Alex Easton races to the decaying Usher estate, only to uncover a q***r, Gothic nightmare of creeping fungi, twisted wildlife, and secrets so dark they threaten to consume everyone.

Spooky Book Club: "What Moves The Dead" by T. Kingfisher A nonbinary retelling of — Boston born — Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher!”

“Through my hair I'm still picking the hulls
Of Europe rained down in scattered handfuls
Their seed-meat shriveled to a hollow rattling
Striking this already ringing land
Resonance choked by pale tendrils shooting off
From long lost roots once locked in nature
The stubbled senses ingrown now where crusader blades shore
And donned them empty-headed beneath the bishop's cap
Shameless scratching at the uncombed earth
Raking the godhead righteous
Silence in their wake
Silence in straight lines hanging from settler heads
Straight silence gathered, braided together, in tails
Pony, pig and whip, straight through the rumbling frequencies
Of boat bowels and cramped cabins
The species underneath each scalp identical after all
Night-tone mother and her light newborn
Curling each other flat and tight into our tangled sound
Muted howl
Song of blue flame
The brilliant headed silhouettes
Scuffling candles through a nation's lightless dawn
Kindling fires, mass I must wake to
Fire for hot irons, pressing big-house finery wearable
Fire for railroad signals, fire in branded skin
Skin like bronze hair like lamb wool
Divisible under God
Who's image have we been made in?
Composed for? Orchestrated by?
Our principals eye the concertmaster
Ignore the mumbling audience situating late to their seat
Or standing-room-only stance
In this stately hall built for silence
Bald bulbs blearily focus
On our loudness
Writhing out the glowing dark
Us, a priceless all toned flood rising
To nourish everybody down to the last
Stray strand
I raise my palm in praise of the symphonic nappyness
Haloing your head
I raise my palm in praise of the God-given nappyness
Haloing your head
I raise my palm in praise of the beautiful nappyness
Haloing your head”

What a show. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/29/kamala-harris-speech-ellipse-trump-washington-dc/ America, please work toward ending apartheid. In your home, with your family, with your community, rip it out of the history of your country, and understand it. Know this embedded trauma. Embedded trauma is the result of a traumatic event leaving a lasting imprint on a person’s brain, mind, and body. Trauma can become embedded even if a person wasn’t physically present at the event.

Samuel Foster Hall (July 3, 1930
October 23, 2023), pictured in 2022 with Earle Pilgrim's Portrait of Samuel Foster Hall, painted in 1955 at 80 West Cedar ST, Beacon Hill. "In over 93 years of Life, Samuel Foster Hall was a Better Angel with some scratches on his halo to prove he also knew how to enjoy this mortal life. He was a beloved Husband, Papa, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, and friend. He died peacefully after a quick decline attributed to old age. He will be very much missed by those fortunate enough to know him. Hall grew up in Colorado Springs, attending Cheyenne Mountain High School and The Fountain Valley School of Colorado. He received a BA in musical composition from Pomona College and did graduate work at Boston University and the L'Ecole Monteux. He lived in New York and San Fransisco before returning to Colorado Springs in 1982, bringing his audio engineering company Play it Again Sam (est. 1968) with him. Hall reports that (in regards to business), "all of this was to support my habit of composing music."
Samuel Foster Hall's compositions have been played by the Colorado Springs Philharmonic (under the direction of Joann Foletta), Colorado Springs Chorale, Colorado Springs Youth Symphony, Colorado College Summer Music Festival, SoundScapes, Abendmusik, Little London Winds, The da Vinci Quartet, Chamber Orchestra of the Springs, at Fort Wayne, Indiana, Northwestern University, and by many other musical companies. He composed symphonies, concertos, choral pieces, a wedding processional (for daughter Alicia Hall Gold), band music, The Broadmoor Rag, and even a cello piece in memory of a dog named Daisy. Sam explained that musical composition was unique among the arts as it doesn't exist until people come together to create the sounds of a piece. The collective effort of bringing the musical score to life is what fascinated him the most about composing music.
Sam Hall's love of his fellow human, with various talents and even eccentricities, was inspirational. He was known by friends as a gentle, nurturing, and kind man with a twinkle in his eye. He was known for living life well." (full obit pub'd Nov. 5, 2023)

Please take action---see the tool kit we share for mobilizing grassroots support on the global level. Last year for our annual Paul Robeson Teach-In at Uzikee Nelson's monument to Robeson and Pan-Africanism, "Here I Stand, Black Balled, Red Baited, and White Out, The Spriit of Paul Robeson," we partnered with American University's Humanities Truck to share the petition from the Civil Rights Congress (CRC) Paul Robeson and William Patterson submitted to the United Nations on Dec. 17, 1951: “We Charge Genocide.” One week later, the American University Student Government passed a resolution calling for the University to divest support from Israel. Please take action.

“I was looking for a set of art objects where I felt there was a sideways or idiosyncratic approach to subject,” says Ruby T, the curator of “Land, Place, Identity,” an exhibition now on view at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. She pushes against an impression of Provincetown and the Outer Cape as “a beautiful neutral zone, separate from the rest of the world.”
