Cool concept and graphic!

Most wins in the league. Enjoy it!

DC Sandwich Guy acquitted! Hoagie? Grinder? Sub?… no, he’s a Hero!

Btw, demanding Vought's resignation should still be a non-negotiable demand for re-opening government.

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

I found it more disturbing than amazing, but… yeah, not surprising

This is the skeet that made me stop scrolling, laugh out loud, share the sentiment with my partner, who also laughed, and log off bsky for the day.

Thank you!

On this All Saints Day, let us remember all those people who have come before us who have shown us the way to hope and love, who did so with courage and decency. Let us celebrate a communion of those saints doing the same today in a world in need of so much more light.

Love Derry Girls! Just saw Kneecap and found that incredibly entertaining too. Northern Ireland (aka the North of Ireland) is a land with a rich culture and a wonderful sense of humor.

I had to wake up at 5:30 this morning. I finally hit the bed after 2 am after the 17th inning. That was an incredible game!

This feels correct

Sure am glad I celebrated this when I could. Merely two days later, even though I have a 10:30 pm alarm to remind me, I forgot to attempt the wordle until 12:01 am, thereby rendering my streak to the dustbin of history… 🤦‍♂️

I did not, dear reader, get a 60 day streak badge.

#wordle #startingover

I’m still thinking about this sculpture…

Love the whimsy!

🤩 That’s quite the view!!

‘Case in point,’ not ‘case and point,’ right?… Right???

Holy smokes, that was a rollercoaster!

What a fitting tribute to Demaryius Thomas as he joins the #Broncos Ring of Fame for Bo and the Boys (h/t Justin Strnad) to dominate the 4th quarter and get the W. What a rollercoaster that game was! Switched from my Champ Bailey jersey to my Ed McCaffrey and that must’ve been the spark they needed!

I watched the last five minutes of the game on FaceTime with my dad since the game wasn’t on tv where I live and let me tell you, that was a hell of a rollercoaster!!
Go Broncos!! I Bo-lieve!

Thousands of protestors gathered together on Pennsylvania Ave in Washington DC. The East Building of the National Gallery of Art is on the right side of the image, people with signs and without are in the foreground. A blue sky with hazy clouds is on the top left of the image. The top right features the green leaves of a deciduous tree

A man wearing a black shirt among hundreds of other people holds overhead a white poster board sign with the words, “We the People… LOVE THIS COUNTRY, THAT’S WHY WE’RE HERE!!” printed on it. A blue sky is above him in the background

A blue sky with white clouds above the Washington Monument and the green grass and tan gravel paths of the National Mall with people milling about in the foreground

No Kings DC. A beautiful day for a beautiful gathering of people that care to make this a more perfect union. Long Live the Republic!

A square painting with a thin white frame mounted on a white wall. The painting shows a red and yellow circular center surrounded by a series of white-to-purple “petals” that are lightest near the center and darker near the edges of the painting. This description hardly does it justice!

They certainly do!

Thanks for your comment and the kind words.

I’ll leave you with one more pic of a #painting (sprayed acrylic) called Through the Flower 2, 1973 by Judy Chicago.

I imagine it’s a view from inside a flower about to open and spread its petals as the sun rises.

Happy Friday!

You guys, I finally broke my previous high score of 57 on the #wordle today! 1174 games played and I’m finally on the verge of getting a 2 month long streak. Let’s keep it going!!

#happyfriday

Great call! What a great #museum !

A portrait in a gold frame on a white wall. The subject is a Black boy looking to the left with his hand reaching into his jeans pocket. His shirt and the background have been painted to look like gold mosaics

A portrait in a gold frame on a white wall features a Black girl whose body faces right but who stares at the viewer in a gold dress and gold bangle bracelets amidst multicolored round flowers on a white background surrounded by a black matte.

A portrait in a gold frame on a white wall that features a Black woman in a black dress with gold embellishments in front of a pale cloudy sky. She is depicted wearing a stylish black hat with a full brim that has fringe around the edge of the brim, obscuring her eyes, but not her parted mouth 👄

A portrait in a gold frame on a white wall featuring a Black teenage boy in a hoodie sweatshirt that has an image of a pair of male figures on it. The background of the portrait is a gold mosaic

Tawny Chatmon, a contemporary Maryland-based artist, has many sumptuous, beautiful pieces in a gallery on the top floor. I found their composition, striking colors, and thoughtful construction, including the frames, utterly beautiful.

There’s currently an exhibit of works by Dutch women 1600-1750 that includes paintings, lace, and paper cuttings on the 2nd floor that help to elucidate the role female artists - long overlooked and ignored - have had throughout history, including renaissance times.

A glossy teal painting hanging on a white wall with a J-shaped light green block of color in the center, lined with dark fuzzy lines that were created using bomb fuse

A triptych of three glossy paintings hanging on a white wall. The paintings feature large yellow (and some red) flowers of different shapes in front of a sunset over a body of water. The flower stems look fuzzy and dark - they were created by placing and then lighting bomb fuses to leave an irregular charred scar that has become a flower stem

L.C. Armstrong’s works caught my eye with their beautiful colors and glossy acrylic finish. When I looked closer at the triptych, I noticed frolicking human figures beyond and within the flowers. *Then* I noticed that the flower stems were created using lit bomb fuse!! 🤯

A white stone sculpture of an abstract female figure posed in a striding, devil-may-care fashion, head thrown back and hand in the air. There is a blue background behind her. Her breasts and tummy have been painted in vibrantly colorful circles.

A white stone sculpture of a female figure on a short pedestal with vibrantly colorful circles on her bulbous buttocks.

Look at this glorious, bulbous female figure! It’s titled Pregnant Nana by Niki de Saint Phalle, who has a whole gallery for her paintings on the ground floor. This is part of the permanent collection on the 3rd floor.
