Just to make it perfectly clear: if you didn’t vote in 2016, you voted for this. If you didn’t vote in 2024, you voted for this. Abstention is a vote for fascism. (And you did exactly what a fascist would want you to do.) In elections, as in art, don’t forsake good because you want perfect. 🗳️

Saturday’s game has gotten much more interesting 🧡💙🏀

Made it back to the pool after a week off. Swimming with a snorkel is a different experience: it’s going to take some getting used to. 🤿

Highly recommend this book. Now to seek out Soutine in museums.
