Lisa Radon of Portland Monthly's Culturephile shared these links to Jason DuMars' project mapping and compiling portland galleries information. I wish that I'd had this when I moved to town, it is a great resource.

the crazy just gets crazier. or at least it looks crazier.

Experience changes visual perception in a measurable way.

prison impact

From Bonnie Fortune-

I hope everyone is doing well. I am writing with a request for support. I am involved with a group here in Illinois called Prison Impact. We have started a prison reading group with prisoners at the Danville Correctional Facility. Each month we travel 1 hour to neighboring Danville to read with a group of 15 adult men. Many of these guys are serving life sentences, and many of them have had little in the way of educational opportunities in their lives. This is an opportunity for education. It is also an opportunity for discussion, writing, and critical engagement with politics. Prisoners do not have internet access. There are only limited class schedules at the prison, and these fill up fast.

Our group provides the books and the men pick titles from a selection we come up with as a group. Currently we are focusing on historical books dealing with class and race. We have read The Jungle, A People's History of the United States, and What's Class Got to Do with It? so far.

Our group, made up of students like myself, and teachers, is only able to buy the titles for each prisoner with the support of donations. We are grateful for any and all contributions of support. These are tax deductible donations and they are used only to buy books for the prisoners, who have very few options for making an income.

If you would like to make a donation or if you have any questions, please contact me via email-lefortune@gmail.com
