Ryanair tries to sell you car hire when booking flights to Venice. Undeniably on brand.

Something you almost certainly won’t see in the national news is how many tiny protests are all over the Twin Cities today. They’re at stoplights. Parks. Bridges. Just everywhere. And people walking by are joining in. The solidarity is so deep. It’s beautiful and brave. I love this city.

I LOVE YOU, YOU LABRADOR THAT GOT CURSED WITH THE WEIGHT OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS. #TheTraitors #TraitorsUK #Traitors

Ladies and gentlemen... the Weekend

Fascinating elaboration on what homes are and do. My favourite section was on the kitchen ‘we are cooks of the world: we never stop cooking it … everything is in a state of constant reciprocal manipulation’ #BookSky #EmanueleCoccia

Bunting has, without doubt, the best walk-on in darts #WorldDartsChampionship

Holy moly. Just the Courtauld asking for a PhD for an Assistant Curator job.

Dana Shultz at Thomas Dane is unmissable. Love the mix of the history painting tradition with a totally mad subject matter

Last week of #JohnLyons at Felix and Spear. John is most definitely an overlooked artist, now 92 years old its so good to see momentum gather around his work

Wild Uplands - a four-artist sculpture trail across the moors near Haworth. 99 Butterflies by Meherunnisa Asad, carved from pink Pakistani marble. There’s also a sound work with Opera North you can download to go with. It shifts around & adds to that eerie feel of the moors. #bradford2025

YES! This looks amazing 👏

Turner Prize: Cartwright Hall, Bradford (The site of my first curatorial job) Mohammed Sami’s paintings. Incredible use of paint, all that texture disrupting the flow. Gives lots to stare at and try and work out. ✨✨✨✨✨ #MOHAMMEDSAMI #TurnerPrize @bradfordmuseums.bsky.social @tate.bsky.social

The validation I’ve been waiting for.
