Trump Moves to Dismantle Institute of Museum and Library Services An executive order demands workforce and operation reductions “that the President has determined are unnecessary” at the IMLS and several agencies.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is among several federal agencies whose functions and workforce were effectively dismantled through Trump’s latest executive order.

made a visit to towson with @urlocalcyb.org & @digitalism.bsky.social & saw @tarayoungborg.bsky.social's MFA exhibition, not a town but a landing page. the choice of showing obsolescence through pairing digital decay and diminishing economies/ghost towns was sobering

Thank you so much for visiting!! Im so glad you enjoyed it!

When is the last time you checked on your giant box of cables and connectors for devices that you no longer own or no longer exist?

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

already had to make a document to put things I'm cutting out of my thesis so I wouldn't feel sad about the cuts

The eroding island of cultural philanthropy Rich young people on the right and left are deserting arts nonprofits for opposite reasons

Just started my day with news of a former student losing her federal job (one of many who were told overnight) and this article about the decline in arts philanthropy by both left and right-leaning millenials/gen zers and I'm feeling particularly dire... thegraymarket.substack.com/p/the-erodin...

So true!! I should have made the time to check it before the reception... next time i definitely will!

I have a web piece on view at an exhibition right now and at the reception it was super buggy-i assume bc of the kiosk software they use to display it having issues with the css. Came in today to troubleshoot and it is working perfectly. I 🙃 love🙃 being 🙃 an 🙃 artist 🙃who 🙃 uses 🙃 technology🙃

Just wrote the most indulgent page in my thesis about experiencing JODI's website (wwwwwwwww.jodi.org/) for the first time in 2004, when I had no clue what net art was yet but that experience deeply shaped me and my art and I'm going to have to delete it later but I had to get it out of my head!
