It’s not guiding our leaders very well. Not well at all.

Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost? If not, why the fuck do we have a congress? Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to all these assholes since they do absolutely NOTHING!

Welcome to Bluesky! #glassart is the tag that is set up already for a dedicated glass art feed. I don’t always remember to use it, but I do follow that feed and have found a lot of glass artists that way

The spontaneous laughter, unexpected tears, and long, thoughtful silence are the honest reactions that both the audience and the artist lives for. Never forget your audience, but never let them dictate your creation.

Funky Dori @funkydori.com · 09/02/2025

The audience is their silent collaborator and their ultimate judge. The audience is something real in a world where so much can be faked. You can fake likes, followers, and reviews, but you can’t fake the genuine human experience of engaging with art.

Funky Dori @funkydori.com · 09/02/2025

The artwork is the same, but the audience is different, so the meaning is different. In this sense, the audience is a cocreator of the art. Great artists design their work for these silent judges, balancing authenticity with expectation without succumbing to pandering.

Funky Dori @funkydori.com · 09/02/2025

The audience is what gives art its meaning, its purpose, and its very existence. Every observer infuses art with personal significance, transforming it into a co-creation. A painting of a sunset may evoke feelings of peace and beauty for one person and feelings of melancholy and loss for another.

Funky Dori @funkydori.com · 09/02/2025

The Great Mental Models v4: Economics and Art- The audience is the invisible participant in every work of art. They are the eyes that see, the ears that hear, the minds that interpret. Without an audience, art is like a tree falling in an empty forest— it may make a sound, but does it matter?

This long exposure infrared image was made on Moccasin Creek in Rabun County Georgia. I used a full spectrum Nikon D750 with a Nikkor 17-35mm f2.8 lens and a 720nm filter. Processed in Lightroom. Get out there. #photography #ir #infrared #EastCoastKin #longexposure

This is the first shoe I made after I decided to begin the project Shoes as Storytellers in 2021. When I first made it, the sock was solid across the top, it was a bit creepy, like a bone. So I trimmed it off. See more shoes and read the stories that inspired them on my website, funkydori.com

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

At this point, you can pop them out, place them in an airtight plastic bag that is labeled with what they are and the date.
