L’Adelphe est un caractère de labeur dont l’enjeu principal est de proposer plusieurs manières de pratiquer l’écriture inclusive sur du texte long, en petit corps, et sans altération du gris typographique. Son nom, qui signifie à la fois frère et sœur de manière non-genrée, est très utilisé au sein des communautés militantes queers. Mais c’est aussi un mot qui trouve son étymologie dans le grec ancien, à la manière des mots savants. Et il y a une volonté avec ce caractère d’aller sur ce terrain, sur le terrain de la culture qui s’auto-définit comme « haute » et savante. Et, ainsi, de ne pas se laisser confisquer l’histoire de la langue et de l’écriture par le camp conservateur. C’est pourquoi l’Adelphe, dans son dessin, présente des proportions classiques, héritées de la Renaissance, et un tracé proche de la calligraphie, avec une fluidité dans le ductus qui permet de produire des formes harmonieuses, y compris dans le dessin des signes inclusifs.

I've often found it challenging to easily understand the different art movements.

Despite exploring art and history books, Wikipedia, YouTube, and Google Art & Culture, the sequence, significance or blending of these movements remained unclear.

Which came first? Who are the key artists? What are their main works?

Art Timeline is my own attempt to remember these.

I've created this website for myself. I hope it will be useful for your own artistic explorations too.

The rules for the Bulwer Lytton Fiction Contest are childishly simple:

Each entry must consist of a single sentence.

Sentences may be of any length but we strongly recommend that entries not go beyond 50 or 60 words.

Entries must be “original” (as it were) and previously unpublished.

Due to the volume of submissions, if your entry is more than one sentence or is missing a name or location it won't be considered.

Our contest year runs from one summer to the next. All entries submitted by June 30th are eligible for the winners announced that  August.

We post the winners in mid August, give or take a natural disaster or mild inconvenience. To receive an announcement email, sign up for our mailing list down there in the footer.

In keeping with the gravitas, high seriousness, and general bignitude of the contest, the grand prize winner will receive … a cheap certificate (and bragging rights).

Elaborate paper sculptures continue to emerge from Patrick Cabral’s Manila studio, including a roiling cockfight that took more than a year to complete. Stretching six feet wide, the monumental work highlights Cabral’s exquisitely cut motifs, which add texture and depth to the otherwise smooth medium. Layers of lace-like patterns, stripes, and other frills adorn the birds shown pre-fight with wings splayed and claws bared.

The art of political branding on the fly.

As we turn another wild corner in the 2024 election cycle—one in which we suddenly have a new Democratic candidate with little more than 100 days left to get out the vote, I want to shout out some unsung heroes: Harris for President creative team, there’s much work ahead, but so far, you’re doing great! 🙌
