To the Man Who Wrote HOPE on His HandContent warning: suicide, self harm, ideation  Editors' Note: The writer originally posted this write-up on Facebook and we asked if we could publish it here. As a publication founded in Richmond, Virginia that still maintains strong ties there, we found it necessary to commemorate the life of Brandon Robertson for our readers. Brandon was a VCU alum, like many editors, writers, and artists affiliated with Quail Bell, now and in the past. We also wanted to bring up the importance of acknowledging mental health—because we will always make space for that here.
I have written this post in my mind hundreds of times already since Thursday. I saw your post and had to be there. Because I have been there, or close. Before I got better. Before I knew there was a “better." I have lived in the eye of the storm of mental health my whole life, but only knew the past 7 years. The past year and a half is the most “normal” I’ve been.

New Kehinde Wiley Sculpture Challenging Southern Monuments to be Installed in Richmond, VirginiaBy Joanna Patzig  Photo Courtesy of Flickr by Kent Yang This week has been full of excellent cultural news in Richmond, Virginia. On Saturday, a main road was renamed “Arthur Ashe Boulevard” in honor of the beloved tennis player and activist from Richmond. Thousands came out on Saturday to celebrate Arthur Ashe and the power of recognizing African American History. Next, Richmond will welcome Kehinde Wiley’s first public sculpture that is in direct response to the confederate monuments found throughout Richmond. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has commissioned Wiley’s first large sculpture to be installed at the museum on Arthur Ashe Boulevard at the end of the year. News about Wiley’s sculpture is incredibly moving as a challenge to the legacy of confederate hate, especially if you’re familiar with the landscape of public art in Richmond.

Highlights of the First Primary Debate - What You Need To KnowBy Joanna Patzig  If you’ve been following the Democratic primary race you know that there are a ton of candidates, so many that even split into two rounds not all of them could be part of the first debates. While it’s still early in the race, the first debates helped a diverse field of candidates distinguish their agendas and policies. A few candidates really set themselves apart, while other major candidates lost ground. Most of all the debates reflected the democratic quandary of how to defeat Donald Trump, and a struggle over the role of socialism in domestic policy.

Ridin' with Biden: A Weekly Dispatch from the CampaignBy Christopher Sloce  Welcome to your first Ridin’ with Biden, wherein we trail Joseph Biden in what promises to be a completely normal race. I’ll not make my intro too long, but sometimes the intro will include some disparate thoughts about the race where I can’t fit them in the body. But we’ve got a ton to cover.

Toy Story 4 Doesn’t DisappointBy Joanna Patzig  Toy Story 4 hit box offices this weekend with a massive opening that made 118 million, and made fans really happy. Pixar’s fourth installment came as a surprise to many, who remembered the seemingly definitive ending to Toy Story 3 that came out nine years ago. Toy Story 4 doesn’t miss a beat though, it picks up on our favorite toys taking care of a new kid and going on hilarious and heartwarming new adventures. If you aren’t familiar with the first three movies by now there may be some minor spoilers, but I won’t give too much away about the fourth!

M.F.A.? Check! Grief? Check!By Paisley Hibou  You've not only earned your Master's of Fine Arts but a really dark mental health period, too. Here are the 5 stages of grief you'll experience after you leave the Ivory Tower, with your diploma in your overly creative hand: 1. Denial. No, it can't be true...I've finally graduated?! School is over? I'm done? For real?
2. Anger. The loans! The job applications! The missed professional opportunities! I should've gone to law school! The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.
Sparking Joy...and Controversy

From Hoarders, to Clean House, to Mission: Organization, reality TV has spent the last two decades indulging the squeamish fascination that the American public has with, well… just how gross people can really be, behind closed doors. However, in recent years the world has been taken entirely by storm by the gentle-mannered ball of sunshine that is Marie Kondo, the professional organizer whose signature “KonMari” method of organizing has struck a note with many, earning her quite a few new fans… and no small number of enemies, it would seem.

RIDIN' WITH BIDEN: AN INTRODUCTION By Christopher Sloce  By Donkey Hotey on Flickr Let me tell you a story.
Once upon a time I was in a fraternity (as the tweeting horde says, let that sink in). I left for a few reasons not worth hashing out on paper. My membership came at an odd time in my life, a time when I had awoken from the nightmare of my patrilineal history and was aching for reinvention. So joined a frat I did. I also drank a fair tick. I have since recovered from both mistakes. |
