- Description
- The image features an open journal displaying two pages with handwritten text. The pages are a light brown color with slightly jagged and frayed edges, suggesting they are from an older or handmade book. The left page has a date at the top, and the text is written in a casual, cursive style. The handwriting is uneven and slightly tilted, with visible gaps and inconsistent spacing. Both pages are filled with text, though the right page has a more structured layout, including numbered points. The background of the image is plain black, making the journal the primary focus.

On the way to New York. Traveling to the city in January is not my preference. Nor is traveling at a time of such tumult— following the Idiot President’s killing of the Iranian military leader. It feels as though the world is in a convulsion of angry violence, fear. Trump, Modi, Putin, Boris Johnson, N. Korea.
But I am going to see 500 Years of Women’s Work at the Grolier Club. I pray for health and safety.
