Pettiness reaching new levels in my apartment building. Gonna make a book out of this photo and leave it in the lobby
A sign taped on a large mirror that reads: These books DO NOT belong in the lobby. If they are to be shared with residents they are to be put in the laundry room, where they will remain for 48 hours.

Screenshot of a statement that reads: House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar released the following statement: Political violence has no place in America. Representatives Jason Crow, Chris DeLuzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan and Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin all served our country with tremendous patriotism and distinction. We unequivocally condemn Donald Trump's disgusting and dangerous death threats against Members of Congress and call on House Republicans to forcefully do the same. Donald Trump incited a violent attack on the Capitol on January 6th as part of a treacherous attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The President's violent and unhinged rhetoric against American patriots is consistent with his well-documented history of attacking prisoners of war, Gold Star families and war heroes. There is no bottom when it comes to Donald Trump. We have been in contact with the House Sergeant at Arms and the United States Capitol Police to ensure the safety of these Members and their families. Donald Trump must immediately delete these unhinged social media posts and recant his violent rhetoric before he gets someone killed

Any fossil(?) nerds know what I’ve got here besides soup?
A photo in golden light of a hand holding a flat stone-like object that may be a fossil showing the imprints of lots of small shell-like things? I don’t know I’m not a doctor.

A photo of a sunrise where the sun is obscured by clouds but still visible and the clouds generally are showing little pockets of bright blue that looks more vivid because I ratcheted up the colors. Oh and a tree line is visible as an outline on the bottom of the photo along with one or two blocky buildings

Any infrastructure/history nerds know what this circle is about? I feel like I have a memory of something about old wells?
A circle kind of cut and made with other cobblestones in a cobblestone street on Wall Street

Damn so The Philadelphia Museum of Art just rebranded and they are getting DRAGGED in the comments www.instagram.com/p/DPjhWysk5q...
COMMENTS We still remember you trying to union bust Reply View 1 more reply el 21m Wow. Maybe you need to reflect a bit longer. PMA is iconic. PAM not so much. Also in my 39 yeas I have not one time heard this called "the Philadelphia Art Museum" Reply View 1 more reply o 13m "We wanted to embrace the Philadelphia community!" "We hired a design studio from Brooklyn to embrace the Philadelphia community!" Brilliant. Reply it 15m Whyyyyyy didn't you work with a Philly agency on this?! There are so many amazingly talented humans in PHL COMMENTS This looks terrible. Looks like a communist, Cold War inspired, logo. I would get rid of this "rebrand" asap. Reply View 1 more reply smokevevi gstaad 2h The rebranding is ugly and cold. Reply berger 1h An unnecessary change. The museum will always be PMA, not PAM Reply * Truly unnecessary and disrespectful to the MA's history to change the name right betore the 150th anniversary. What a waste of resources during a time of precarious arts funding. Reply View 1 more reply ugag n 26m Hmm I'd say locals call it "the art museum" not the Philadelphia Art Museum. I think that's an important difference in semantics COMMENTS baby, the logo is giving 1939 Berlin. Reply 6m Very Philadelphia Mills of you Reply ianeellen7 27m The museum needed bolder branding, yes This feels cheesy and a little out of touch. Second I saw it I said I bet they worked with an NYC agency and sure enough, they did. Reply 33m Seems silly, why? Reply 34m Reply ar 51ml This all makes me so sad. I know it's not a big deal, but it feels like a corporation stomping on beautiful things. Comments • 2h Bummer you didn't pick an agency from Philly for the rebrand. Reply View 1 more reply Hidden by Instagram This is def not the reflection we wanted you to make Reply 19m That website is a joke too. Facism in the arts. Reply • 20m Stop reflecting cause it looks like shit. Imma cancel my membership because yall playing in my face, Philly face and your employees face. Reply Fascism is here Reply View 2 more replies

love the cover for this 1994 release
album cover featuring a middle-aged woman with a very soft greenish glow around her holding a tanpura that looks to be mid-strum, and scripty font that says "Morning Ragas" and underneath in serif "(Hindustani - Vocal)" as well as "Singer: Meera Savoor Lyrics: Traditional"

First Light with Man on East Village Radio starts now: eastvillageradio.com/first-light-...

Tune in for two hours of Ambient, New Age, Classical Indian, and Spiritual Jazz.

I'll thread some thoughts about the show here, if you don't want to follow tap the three dots then "Mute thread" 🥹☀️
Watercolor painting of a person’s head and shoulders against a softly blended background of pastel yellows, purples, and blues. The figure gazes sideways with a calm, neutral expression. Instead of just two eyes, they have four additional eyes stacked vertically on their forehead, creating a surreal, dreamlike effect. The overall palette is light and ethereal, with delicate shading and soft textures framed by a blue border. The work is "Retrospective" by Christa London.
