Smell the summer, and breathe.
When things get tough, try to find a moment in nature.

Similar happened in UK after Brexit: Brits voted to go out of the EU and end freedom of movement, seemingly forgetting that a lot of farms employed seasonal workers from Europe. Natives were not keen on the working conditions and harvest was poor. 🙄

Looking at art and flowers can sustain your spirit.
In the words of AOC: "it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public [...] this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive" (Nov 2024)

What is going on? There seems to be seemingly competent people asking straightforward questions, and bumbling seemingly stupid people unable to answer or unable to answer correctly.
But the seemingly stupid people are in charge?
Have I got that right?

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

At least that what Saatchi gallery CEO said in an email yesterday. Uncertainty and Destabilisation are key words these days, so "careful now".

original artworks and photographs remain exempt from tariffs on U.S. imports.
This exemption is grounded in U.S. law (IEEPA)—a statute that explicitly prohibits restrictions on cultural and informational materials. This includes original artworks, prints, photographs, and other expressive works.
