Mostly unrelated, but the Sweatshop was above Bread & Chocolate/Hรคagen Dazs in the 80s when I worked at B&C. Their patrons would come get sweets in their leotards and leg warmers after workouts.

2/5

This morning, Israeli forces raided and demolished the Seed Multiplication Unit of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees' (UAWC) national seed bank in Hebron.

Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept.

This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

Imagine a group of 5-year-olds playing a board game. The rules are clear, the goal is fair, and one child edges ahead โ€” until, suddenly, another child starts losing. Thatโ€™s when the trouble begins. โ€œHe cheated!โ€ the losing child yells. โ€œIโ€™m the winner anyway!โ€ he declares. And then, like clockwork, he flips the board. In the world of kindergarten conflict resolution, we expect this kind of behavior. We chalk it up to development. We teach better sportsmanship.

What do we do when the president of the United States behaves this way? On Friday, President Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics โ€” the nationโ€™s workaday scorekeeper of employment, wages and productivity. Why? Because the data didnโ€™t make Mr. Trump look good. The statistics were inconvenient. So the president didnโ€™t just challenge the findings; he fired the statistician. Thatโ€™s not governing. Thatโ€™s board flipping.

A whimsical vining glass sculpture, appears to be a twisting green stalk wrapped by blue extra twisty vines and red straighter vines, all on a green base. Behind is a curved hallway inside and windows of the building across the street through the glass

This work is part of a series that evolved when Dale Chihuly combined the classic vessel form
with leaf like forms found in his earlier Venetian series with a single elongated form often found in a later Ikebana series. In both series, the forms and colors were inspired by places he had been:
Venice and Japan.

Yโ€™all were hoping for Chihuly. Well I found some I hadnโ€™t seen before on my elevator tour!

Thanks! When I shuttled over to Gonda, I asked for a self guided tour brochure, because they used to have them! No more. But the volunteer was otherwise very helpful.

Good thing you sent this article, or I would have been clueless. I still am sort of clueless, except it seems that Gaga does not use this style so is a terrible example?

Now thereโ€™s jingling from another area of the waiting room! Turns out the noise is from the little keys that go to lockers. Theyโ€™re on stretchy bracelet things. I guess I will downgrade my comment that the jingling is annoying. But they could just pocket the keys like I did..

There is a jingling sound near me in this waiting room. I had seen a service dog earlier and so I smiled, thinking the sound was dog tags. I turned to look, and itโ€™s just a lady with a bracelet with jingly charms. Things that are cute on a dog are annoying on a person.

A little reddish clay figurine. It is mostly round with two legs and little arms with three fingers. The face has an opening for a mouth and two dots for eyes. The head is sort of bulbous but also has two round balls for ears I guess? I donโ€™t know that this isโ€”maybe a bear

There was a lot of glasswork on my art tour, but there was an unmarked display full of clay pots and jugs and figurines. This lil guy was just a few inches tall and I like him. Bear, maybe? I have no clue.
