Why Israel’s Raid on a Palestinian Bookshop Matters The real threat posed by detained booksellers Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna is their willingness to engage with Jewish-Israelis amid a state narrative that presents all Palestinians as terrorists

🖤 Oh Jo Baer, 95 years of glorious life. As Barbara Thumm says so well, We will miss her radical humor, her endless well of stories, her rigor in artmaking, and her incredible curiosity for life. Jo Baer’s innovative spirit and fearless reinvention remain indelible in our memories. 🖤

Blue sky is awesome because a bunch of people who like to make jokes and a bunch of people who are incapable of identifying a joke are forced to share space

As a free thinker alpha male one of my highest values is unquestioning obedience to authority. Boss knows best, that's why he's the boss

Listening to an interview to a hedge fund art collector. He just answered a question starting with “Well, the Buddhist in me would say…” lol

Politicians after diverting cultural funds to the police:

Sanchinarro X: los primeros pisos públicos vendidos en Madrid a un fondo se alquilan ya por 2.100 euros al mes Viviendas municipales enajenadas durante la resaca del ladrillo son ahora gestionadas “como un hotel” por una gran empresa con un largo historial de conflictos

Precios de alquiler de entre 1.300 y 2.100 euros mensuales en Idealista que descolocan a los antiguos inquilinos de Sanchinarro X. Uno de ellos, Sergio Sanz, no comprende quién puede pagar esto: “¿qué pareja gana 6.000 euros al mes en este país?”
