WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

So I guess sex work is only ok if just tech oligarchs are profiting off it and not marginalized women or minorities who depend on it to survive?

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

+1 on this recc! Something I've been incorporating into my self-care and my relationship with technology is the concept of pleasure-seeking. The wire mother of the digital age hijacks your dopamine without providing tangible reward. You'll struggle to reject it unless you find better pleasure.

Emergency World Naked Bike Ride planned in Portland, with blurred photi of naked bicyclists.
Congrats!! I remember feeling like a lot was left out of the brochure
Look if the government wants to send more bread based on false rumors I ain’t gonna stop em
This is FALSE, I was at an entire event called Bread Fest today, lines were around the block, and the artisanal baked goods were plentiful
Things have grown so dire in Portland, Oregon that residents may soon face a shortage of artisanal baked goods, almond milk rose petal beetroot lattes, and cold brew mushroom tonic.
only looted the freshest fruit, as you can see

I wrote about living with the chronic, debilitating anxiety that made me a "problem child" as kid, about trying to understand what anxiety is an adult, and how I discovered that it might be like prayer johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/line

Been thinking a lot about statues today - thank you for the very interesting photos of ‘statue scars’ in situ.
