The Chip on Molly Crabapple’s Shoulder
In this July 2024 interview, the brilliant, popular originator of what Der Spiegel magazine dubbed “art-journalism,” Molly Crabapple explained that if she carried a chip on her shoulder it was not anger at some past injustice she suffered, but for other people.
Seeking to give a voice to victimized, stigmatized, and oppressed, Crabapple, has sympathetically portrayed the Occupy Wall Street protesters, sex workers, taxi drivers whose lives were destroyed by predatory lenders, the tortured inmates of Guantanamo, the Syrian peoples warred upon by their own government, and the Ukrainians attacked by Russia. Combining image and text enables her to convey truths with an immediacy and accessibility that neither can do alone.
Here, in this art-filled video, she narrates her first-hand experiences in war zones, with refugee children and struggling adults, as well as her observations on capturing beauty, the advantages of a pad and pen over a camera, and using art to earn a living as well as to circumvent censors.
I was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) four years ago. For over two years, I relied on conventional medications and therapies, but unfortunately, my symptoms continued to worsen. My coordination deteriorated, I experienced increasing memory issues, and my overall cognitive and physical function declined rapidly.Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My symptoms stabilized, my memory improved slightly, and I regained some coordination and clarity. Incredibly, I also felt my energy and sense of self beginning to return.It’s been a life-changing experience. I feel more like myself again better than I’ve felt in a long time. If you or a loved one is struggling with CJD, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach. You can visit their website at w ww. naturepathherbalclinic .com.
