great news it was josef albers’s series of homage to the square paintings everyone can go home now ty @dungeonminister.bsky.social and @rookthebird.bsky.social bc both of your inputs led me to googling something that accidentally featured the artist

Josef Albers’s Homage to the Square paintings on a wall. A series of four square paintings, each of smaller nested squares within them.

anyone recall the name of the artist who painted squares like this? just blocks of color, nested within each other, centered vertically but not horizontally within each other. hard to look up without just getting mondrian

“…but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and pieture the supernal beauty and glory beyond”

alt text continued:

The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all, the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real?
Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus ! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, VIRGINIA, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

i read the “yes virginia there is a santa claus” editorial for the first time and it’s so sweet 🥺

Scan of a newspaper article:
Title: Is There a Santa Claus?
We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently the communication below,
expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of THE SUN:
"DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old.
"Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus
“Papa says: It you see it in The SUN it’s so.’
“Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?
" VIRGINIA O’HANLON
"115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET.”

VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprebensible by their little minds. All minds, VIRGINIA, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world it there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be ex-tinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus.

ran some errands before work this morning

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man.
You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around.
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."
Let's all get up and move around a bit right now... or at least dance.

Screenshot that reads: hunts. Once again, state forces are colluding with corporations to erase ideas they do not like by harassing people who represent ideas that they don't want to exist. This time, the witch hunt for bad

Screenshot that reads: Debate is a luxury of norms and institutional safety, two things that Trump's second administration has systematically destroyed. So many Americans love the idea that debate solves tough political problems because we love the idea of American exceptionalism. Forget the bloody wars of independence, secession and expansion and remember the epistolaries. We flatter ourselves. There was never a time when rank-and-file Americans perfected the ideas of the Republic without violence or oppression.
Debates among founding fathers were games among similarly classed white male property owners. Women, enslaved people, Indigenous nations, disabled people, poor people, some immigrants — they were all excluded from the civic sphere we valorize now as the height of American civility.

i think it’s irresponsible to describe the app interactions as a 1 to 1 conversation instead of a person and a chat bot. most end users already don’t make a distinction but i wish publications took a more curatorial approach to that language stylistically. also this paragraph was enlightening

So, naturally, I gave mine tousled, brown hair, a personality to match mine - dry sarcasm, quick-witted banter, the occasional well-placed zinger — and made him a yoga instructor.

til everest didn’t even want the mountain named after him! back in the 1850s! there’s this assumption that exhibiting deference and respect to indigenous cultures is a feature of contemporary society, when at every point in history there’s been ppl operating with a base amount of like… respect

The British geographic survey of 1849 attempted to preserve local names when possible (e.g., Kangchenjunga and Dhaulagiri.) However, Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India, claimed that he could not find a commonly used local name, and that his search for one had been hampered by the Nepalese and Tibetan policy of exclusion of foreigners. Waugh argued that - because there were many local names - it would be difficult to favour one name over all others; he therefore decided that Peak XV should be named after British surveyor Sir George Everest, his predecessor as Surveyor General of India. Everest himself opposed the honour, and told the Royal Geographical Society in 1857 that "Everest" could neither be written in Hindi nor pronounced by "the native of India". Despite Everest's objections, Waugh's proposed name prevailed,
