Can’t seem to get much of a post together.
The NY Post says the EPA is about to declare the malathion we were dosed with last summer a carcinogen (now they tell us). The Post didn’t post it, though, and I have yet to find an online source. The EPA ain’t talking yet, but there should be something official tomorrow.
Then there’s the New Yorker’s Mother’s Day cover. Of course, they don’t have much of a site, losing enough money in print, I guess. Just a thumbnail of the cover (changing weekly, no doubt); no enlargement. Maybe you’ve got a copy, or saw it on the newsstand. It’s set in the Park, and depicts a scene that’s not unusual there; a mother with children in tow, seated next to a modern career girl type. The mother is morphing into a full blown Mother Nature, and the young woman gazes at the children with a mixture of solicitousness and envy. I’d like to believe that different faces of the Goddess are not incompatible, but this image gets into a side of Mother’s Day that Hallmark and the mainstream tend to shy from. Pretty good cover, I thought, but I noticed that it was drawn by a man. Wondered if we had any female feedback out there?
