“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

Just a reminder that the federal building in Minneapolis where ICE is holding protesters, immigrants, citizens, etc. A place where you are not guaranteed a “one phone call”, where you have no due process, is the same land where they held Indigenous people in a pen in the late 1800s.

This is a horrific moment and I want to talk about this picture to highlight the contrasts here: paramilitary government employee and large scale tyrannosaurus. Having lived in Minneapolis for a short time I can tell you that it is a big city but with small town community connections.

A.I. hotel art is such a horrible combination of words. It's so gross to see people using AI to a) steal from Andy Warhol and b) take away the small spaces in the visual landscape where living artists could have made something lovely. Also, I bet the Warhol estate would be upset by this.
I know we have bigger first to fry but this sucks so fucking bad.

Wonderful time at Seattle Art Museum at Farm to Table-it wove Impressionism, French foodways, colonialism, socioeconomics of food production. A rich experience with my niece-we saw these iron marks in late 1800s paintings & talked about the people who would have done the ironing and how they did it

"No, I don't hate the printing press. What I object to is the use of slogans based on fairy tales. But "the printing press democratized knowledge" is not just a fairy tale; when you actually think about the words being used next to one another, they don't make the sense they are purported to make."

Spending a few days up at the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Laboratory and we were allowed to borrow a night light - green LED stick that attracts sea creatures - at one point a harbor seal swam through the light and we exploded in joyous squeals, it was like seeing a celebrity in person.
