Whether correct or not, London is still pretty cool for stuff. Free museums & galleries. Every night of the week you can find something to do somewhere someone is making something.

The new documentary “Maintenance Artist” traces Mierle Laderman Ukeles’s decades-long practice of spotlighting marginal, unpaid, and feminine labor. The film offers “an easily digestible biography to spread the word about Ukeles,” says art critic Dan Schindel.

People like to rag on Bluesky but this thread is exactly why I'm on social media: I suffer from a debilitating case of poaster's madness, and this provides a place for me to dump a few of the million ideas careening around in my head so I can occasionally get a little sleep at night

🧪 FIRST STUDY to compare direct air capture of CO2 vs renewables: “An amount of money spent deploying wind or solar delivers more combined climate and public health benefit than if it is spent on DAC.” Releasing CO2 into air and then trying to suck it up is dumb. techxplore.com/news/2026-05...

Intellectual Girls Who Also Love Their Titties

An Aussie Rachel self portrait I am back in NYC my heart. BNTR (if you know you know) and I miss you and thank you

Also if I may add some exposition: describe your personal opinion about the person, don't just recite facts about objects you see. E.g.: ☺️ "I love your style; the colors you choose give you a perfect glow!" 😐 "Your shirt is so pretty." The former is about the person, the latter is about the shirt.

This is devastating, if unsurprising, especially since it's unlikely that the current SKKKOTUS will fix it. Mife is one of two key medicines in medical abortions, which have made up over 65% of all *clinician-provided* abortions & telehealth has been 27% of clinics providing abortions *overall.* +

I have to raise 2K IMMEDIATELY Y🍒Y which means much excitement for you because I am offering discounted 90mins for my 1 hour rate and texting deliciousness. Am copying the sexting rates of a friend of mine and see below for more. V/enmo: Aussie-Girl-NYC

If Josh Kline's essay about NYC artist precarity is theory, the press release for SoiL Thornton's show at Swiss Institute is praxis; they left the previous gallery configuration up and diverted the production budget to battling their eviction notice—and then turned the documentation into a work

I think maybe it's time to just cede all decision making power to the mollusks.

G'day guess who is back from a land down under. Meeeeeee! This is the most perfect time to be nice to Rachel (BNTR) and/or book some time with me this weekend or week. I am desirously refreshed plus I miss you. ps: decriminalize the nekkid body and BNTR? yesssss

It's ok to take care of yourself. It's ok to get some rest. It's ok to become a gently mad lighthouse keeper who spends their days cursing the sea and nights knitting an unending scarf that will someday encircle the earth.

Get out of your echo chamber and work to stop this war. Do it now. Time is running out.

My birthday trip to Boston is next week. My dance card for Thursday (9th) is open for one friend. Write me a love letter and let's dance♥️

Want to take your mind off the news? If you're in NYC & haven't yet seen it, get yourself to the Met to view the spare, intensely felt paintings of Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck (1862–1946), in a show up for just two more weeks (closes April 5) www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/...

Can we stop with "mused," like he's a Restoration fop instead of a narcissistic sociopath?

I promise you that the cure to feeling totally insane every time you look at the news is to A) be active in your own community. Not just chilling with people, but being genuinely useful to those in need. And B) don't look at the news. This idea of "witnessing" as praxis is bullshit.

BIF Butter is Fundamental

we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'

This is such an incredible and inspiring artwork. (I don't exactly know what it's inspiring me to do, but I like it.)

In many cases, “mental health” is the scapegoat diagnosis for absolutely changeable, systemic, material circumstances. Five fewer hours of work a week and $5K more a year would change a lot of people’s lives.

Basically all of the bad economic news this term is because the president deliberately decided to do something moronic. He is much more personally responsible for this than most presidents are for the downturns in their administration.

sending loving kindness to everyone I miss you decriminalize the naked body and oh BNTR

Sometimes you need a print newspaper. I just wish the Boston Globe had more fonts.

Reading is fundamental!

Today is International SWers Rights Day! (Part 1)

Jenny Holzer, Untitled ("In a Dream..."), from The Survival Series, 1983–85

This is probably either a really good or really bad time to point out that this classic Roy Lichtenstein Pop art painting from 1962, showing a fighter pilot shooting down a military jet, is in the collection of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art www.lichtensteincatalogue.org/catalogue/en...

I know it is easy to doomscroll, especially today. Please plan for yourself at least one or many more offline activities. Buy a pastry, read a book, go to a museum, see a friend, cook a meal, play with a pet, or even a trip to Costco. Try to limit time on your phone and avoid stewing in anxiety.

שבת שלום I really miss you. Do you miss me? sending loving kindness and gratitude to everyone. Your MILF in NYC miss Aussie Rachel who is going to spend more time online soon

After months of organizing, I am finally stepping back and letting the lawyers take it from here. It’s been a lot. Thank you to those who’ve been so kind. If you’re in a position to help with legal/other costs, I’d truly so appreciate it. So grateful thank you V*nmo: Aussie-Girl-NYC

may this week be sweeter than the last. g u t s h a b b o s be kind to one another and a tiny reminder to be kind to yourself too. ps: BNTR thank you to the sweet clients who’ve been so kind to me and to those who have sent kindness via the apps I so appreciate you

Has anyone out there managed to successfully use a tablet as a regular substitute for a Windows laptop?

This hockey imbroglio reminds me of the time J. Edgar Hoover did ayahuasca with the U.S. Fencing Team.

“who to yell at” is a dying service! thank you very local journalism

How much of this is an illusion?

wtf it's almost like systemic entitlement creating a false sense of elitism has been an ongoing element of our culture for millennia

The Americans may have beat the Canadians in Olympic hockey. But we beat them in maintaining a democracy.

Always be kind. (Especially to Rachel)
