Rembrandt's self-insert character is the only figure to stare out and implicate/include the viewer in this vignette. So I painted my own self-insert character who stares at Rembrandt's self-insert character staring at the audience.

It is unquestionably powerful to see Epstein survivors speak out which is why their stories make for one hell of a propaganda tool. Sex worker rights are not in conflict with survivor justice. Implementation of the Nordic model would not have offered any protection to Epstein’s victims whatsoever.

All aboard the Kafka Subway! I’ve had dreams like this. Sculptor Michel de Broin took doors from MR-63 métro cars and turned them into this interactive installation at Arsenal Contemporary gallery in #Montréal. Très Inception! www.arsenalcontemporary.com

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.

This is more an unpopular media literacy opinion than an unpopular art opinion... But a lot of people who consider themselves "immune to marketing" don't realize they hate Anish Kapoor... because of a marketing.

We're really going to meme that blowjob pic into existence, aren't we?

🧵 Rest in power, Alice Wong. @sfdirewolf.bsky.social A trailblazer, a fierce advocate, and a relentless voice for disability rights. Her work changed the landscape for so many. /1

I made the decision to leave in 2021. Being an immigrant is quite stressful, but not living in America absolutely rules and makes it worthwhile. Especially given how much human rights in the states have backslide.

Found the worst shoes ever in a Haarlem thrift store. They fit. I did not take pics and I did not buy them. :P

Working on some ✨fancy✨ guerilla art.

I need nerd help -- I thrifted this odd little ceramic box in the Netherlands. Which IBM building is this???

trust is neither given nor earned. it forms naturally between people who share the experience of having listened to Skinny Puppy at or after 3 am in the dark by themselves

Going to the thrift store is hunting and gathering. Shopping on eBay is farming.

I made a random compliment generator today because I wanted to make something nice :)

How evil/brilliant would it be to serve an all brassica Thanksgiving? That family is broad enough to actually work...

Every time Tim Kaine makes a terrible vote it further proves my Lieberman Theory -- that every losing VP candidate ends up being the absolute worst, most useless person. (Walz may be the exception)

I looks like 2 or more cases of shingles correlates to a higher likelihood of dementia. See this free article. Shingles itself can be horribly painful; I've had it once, & the minute a vaccine for it came out I rushed to get it & say Never Again! #ProudBlue wapo.st/4qQVFzK

Consider how the marketing for genAI, which is an instrument of fascism, mirrors how fascism presents its enemies as both incredibly strong and pathetically weak. "It's the future, it's inevitable, we're using it for literally everything, here is proof we did NOT use it in this commercial"

Last year, I cooked a gluten free & vegan Thanksgiving dinner where every dish was purple. Eggplant, ube, plums, purple rice, purple potatoes, lavender, etc. It was fairly epic. I'm thinking of doing an all green dinner this year. Is that going to be too boring or too easy? 💚

Just saw someone refer to the Wellbutrin tablet as an Everlasting Sobstopper

Well, that's gross. www.demorgen.be/snelnieuws/s...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I've struggled with suicidal ideation since I was 8 years old. Just terrifying, unbidden thoughts of self destruction that have only quieted with YEARS of therapy/sobriety. If I'd had access to ChatGPT in my youth -- hell, up until about 35 if I'm being honest -- I'd be dead. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Tattoo Idea -- The Demon Core in the crook of my arm so it opens and closes when I flex.

Why paint The Storm On The Sea Of Galilee on poster tubes? This Rembrandt, stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990, was cut from its stretcher & rolled up by the thieves. If it still exists, it's probably sitting in a tube just like these, hidden away in someone's attic or basement.

Friends don't let friends follow Alt National Park Service. This is so weird and inappropriate!!!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nancy Pelosi won't seek reelection, ending her storied career in the US House.

I liked it better when the tech geeks were putting burner art in every corner of the city. This retvrn bullshit is infinitely worse. :P

Today is the 79th anniversary of a perfectly ordinary party at the Officers’ Club of the Army War College in Washington, D.C., to mark the disbanding of the task force that organised atomic bomb tests in the Pacific, at which the attendees enjoyed a perfectly ordinary cake

oh, that? you remember my old pal mori- he just wanted to give me a memento! please don’t make it weird: we are literally friends …okay wait what the f*ck?? it says i need to remember i will die????

People who claim the medieval "two-sleeps" cycle is a lost tradition have never lived half a world away from their friends. I see you posting. I know what time it is over there.

I can see the village oliebollen cart from my shower but I can't see if it's open yet. :P

Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Zohran Mamdani are all going to out-live Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Peter Theil, Bill Ackman, and most of the other oligarchs who have looted our political system for their gain. And so are most of us. Plan big. Organize even bigger.

Eating Viennetta for the first time ever and I'm officially a classy bitch. ✨

I was raised by atheists and can probably count the church services I've attended on two hands. But here I am, painting Christian religious art.

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney
