During my freshman year of college, when I worked at the college art gallery, we marked World AIDS Day as a "Day Without Art" by covering a painting with a sheet. So many artists were lost to AIDS.

Despite the subject matter, the workshop is actually quite fun, giving artists, teachers & researchers the chance to share about their practice and talk in a non rushed way about the context we find ourselves in. The cards, pulled in sets of three, provide a framework for the conversations

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

The Signal chat carries intense governance by cosplay vibes. Not hugely different to the orders my teens shout at friends while gaming. I’m not trying to be cute, it actually freaks me out. Feels like the gov version of plastic surgery to look like mannequins designed to look like beautiful people.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
