Went to the Art Depot Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam yesterday. After seeing/smelling Wim T. Schippers' Pindakaasvloer the warning sign at the ticket counter made perfect sense. Also, that's not my footprint in the peanut butter, but someone else did step in it.
There's a jackdaw on my roof taunting the cats through the window.
Old Trolleys, particularly those with swerves, feel rather energetic. They dance around even when the rails are straight, and huff impatiently when they have to wait for something. They're very aloof and complain when they're overcrowded. This trolley from Scranton, PA is 100 years old this year.
the internet archive aims to make the texts available for people to actually read, AI companies don't. they intend to enclose the commons and destroy access.

What do you mean I caught a tummy bug in Europe! I'm a full ocean away from the poop lettuce! 😭

Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com · last wk.Here’s what I got Trump will make a public unveiling of upcoming architectural and structural renovation plans for Washington Dulles Int Airport, alongside Duffy. They’ll remodel airport's terminal layout, passenger transport systems, and parking based on Trump’s hand-drafted plans.
My business laptop broke while my partner is out of town and I'm just over here having the time of my life at the combination panic attack and autistic meltdown. 😭
Sometimes I feel broken because I'm unhappy in the Netherlands. Then I spend a week exploring Rotterdam, Den Haag, and Amsterdam and remember it's just that I hate living in a small village. :P
The spot where my ancestors left Rotterdam before eventually boarding the Mayflower and heading to the New World.
The only thing funnier than Kabouter Buttplug in Rotterdam is the neon reproductions that line the adjacent commercial corridor. I guess if your neighborhood is gonna have a buttplug gnome you've gotta own it.
I’ve said this so many times. Wood pigeons, too.

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.
A series of watercolor Taco Bell hot sauce packets. They're painted on seed bomb paper and are meant to be planted.
Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.

I'm at the combination art exhibit, Nazi bunkers, and cruising spot.
On the train through Den Haag and there's a trackside tag that reads GOTHIC ADULT.

At night I can watch the train station from my shower. It's like my own personal Perpetual Hopper Painting Generator. All these silent, solitary vignettes of harried conductors & drunken revelers; people coming home & people leaving home; an endless loop of stories being retold to the summer stars.
I'm home alone eating mashed potatoes with gravy and pierogi.
