can't find much documentation beyond social posts but the Anthony Akinbola installation down in Atlanta is so good. huge red and blue durag suspended and flowing through a warehouse. so much going on here. photos via Akinbola's IG. 'Superman'

parents left and I spent the morning crying, let's get this bread y'all.

it happened to me: after a decade and a half my vegetarianism became carb-itarianism and now I have to eat more salad :,(

first time at smithsonian american history since I was a teenager, family wanted to see it while they're in town. I literally had to extricate myself from the building bc it was bumming me out so bad. it all just feels so tenuous and for show. :/

tonight

if you live in columbia heights/mt pleasant/adams morgan, you’ll know what i’m talking abt, but did we ever get closure on the cult church of it all at 16th and columbia? they sold the building but their non-cult tenants wanted to stay? like did we get a final resolution

i wanted to buy the ellsworth kelly sketchbook facsimile but if MoMA thinks they're getting $350 out of me they are sorely mistaken

oh yeah definitely, you HAD to pose with your biceps out right after your arm day pump, that was the ONLY way to adequately show us your paintings.

I've got ~500 leftover 3D-printed library challenge coins in my office and every time I come in-person I find myself resisting the urge to toss them all in the air like confetti

I'm a hater at heart so this is unsurprising but the New Museum show sucked ass and I need to be honest about that lol. I felt like I was in one of those "fun" Smithsonian everything-but-the-kitchen-sink shows circa 2012. in a very bad way.

still chewing on some things i saw last weekend but the lil ron nagle sculptures at matthew marks were quietly bangers

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

shit's so bad I feel guilty for yearning. can't a gay boy just yearn anymore?

www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros... is it good to build an entire economy and software infrastructure on this

:(

it’s been less than 6 months we can’t ALREADY be doing shows with ~~~~oLd MasTeR~~~~ style paintings of the heated rivalry boys

some good signs (ongoing) [alt text for details/locations]

real bottom of the barrel bullshit

fuck i picked the wrong weekend to leave town

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

realizing that if you go to venice for the biennale and then hit up chelsea galleries ~2 years later, you'll just end up seeing the same stuff! tmyk

ny’s hottest club is the literal floor at hauser & wirth, where 4 (count em: four) people were sat cross legged, with coffees, spending the afternoon waiting for the dancer to appear for the felix platform. their expectancy made me feel weird so I dipped lol.

this airport shit even has amtrak stressed. like five announcements this morning about the train being sold out because of “TSA drama” lol

more like the acela SNOREidor amiright

ok im officially off the clock for a four day weekend: copyfraud should have actual, legal consequences. reusers shouldn't be only ones who get in trouble for pretending to own copyright that they know doesn't exist, it should be a two way street.

you know you're in a ethical field of work when you have to beg your customers and regulators to believe that you aren't running "death markets"

got my laptop back....... it's completely wiped.......... i am bowed but not broken

it's rare for me to be excited to go to ohio but i'm back there soon-ish and it means i'll get to see the martin puryear show in cleveland :)

I love reading books published in 2026 that still have the copyright preamble saying like "you may not reproduce this EVER. NO EXCEPTIONS." a low stakes spicy take: rightsholders should not be allowed to lie about the limits of their rights. don't look at me in face and pretend fair use isn't real.

Feist v. Rural Telephone is my Princess Di

great job: you successfully stopped yourself from tweeting a funny insight from your therapy session! here's 50 exp to mark your personal growth 💪

Literally right next to the “can you spot human trafficking?” signs in every airport, you can watch the state traffic people in real time

christian speed painter with a smug smile watching an artist paint normally like "what are you mark slothko"

imagine being the 'monuments' curators rn (part of me wonders if that show's publicity had something to do with the speed on this. not that wh staff read art reviews but ya know.)

v inside baseball but I do wonder what to make of the fact that both of the Louise Lawler works up at Maxwell Graham rn appeared in Penske-owned magazines. first was an ad in Art*orum, second was a print insert in AiA. could ~the phrase~ be expanded to include 'the venue in which its shown' ?

higher gas prices?? no man, my dispensary hasn't raised prices lately, that's weird

tried to take a walk at meridian hill/malcolm x last night before they close half of the upper tier, was greeted with this shit. love the "fee" sign that makes literally 0 sense in our context.

can't legally say what I'm thinking rn!

lmfao the new museum spent all that money to expand and renovate, and they STILL chose to retain that cut-out gallery midway up a staircase, a fundamentally inaccessible space to show art. what the fuck is the point of splashy expansions if you can't even fix the basic mistakes you made before?

can’t sleep, up thinking abt how much i love being able to exist without a car

Genuinely, I ask you, cis folks: how are we supposed to live in society under laws like this? Where are we supposed to work, how are we meant to get groceries? If we can be arrested at any time for simply setting foot in a restroom, how do we exist in society? What would you do?

nothing more gutting than swiping to a guy's IG and all his posts are set to alex warren, imagine dragons, and mumford & sons. real "shattering the illusion" vibes. grieving what could have been :,(

this is an incredibly funny line to me because Condé is pretty famously TERRIBLE at successfully clamping down on their IP. case in point: Vogue Taiwan was publishing Condé videos on YouTube for almost a decade using Creative Commons licenses (ie, free for anyone). www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/s...

This is insane.

employability is a myth, let's all just say our opinions and be annoying it's really much more fun

i think we've reached peak "big screen in the big museum atrium with big pixels" and I for one really hope we start trending somewhere new

we love to talk about the professionalization of the art world but what about the people who literally never had to? not because they were doing something amazing that defied categorization, but because our social/political/economic structures told them they could keep doing ~whatever~

the country with the next-highest number of annual tornadoes is canada, and they average like 100 to our annual rate of ~1200. why the fuck do we live here.

"A department generating high credit-hour production across the university but with few declared majors is not an inefficient department. It is a department whose students are not being counted in the metric being used against it."

what you ordered: a chill sunday what you got: spilling an entire iced coffee on your open laptop
