Does anyone else find the new @artfund.bsky.social poster campaign for National Art Pass weird? "This gave my brain the afternoon off"! Are we not supposed to think in galleries? Are we being encouraged simply to look at art in an empty-headed manner?

Poster for National Art Fund Art Pass photographed at Balham tube station; poster features a man in a gallery looking at a fantastical painting paired with the slogan, "This gave my brain the afternoon off".

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

"This gave my brain something different to do" would have been better (total devotee of Art Fund tho, other than their lack of a proper app)

Happy 18th birthday, this spider

Dear Jane,
I do not have any money so I am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the matter.
Regards, David
This is followed by a crude drawing of a spider with seven legs and a smiley face

I am very much in the dog house with Mum. I fucking well give up.

In the list of instructions "sorry about bleeps, I have ordered a replacement"

Something which would have been helpful from Mum - telling me that the frigging carbon monoxide alarm needed replacing and I would have brought one over.

"It's Ann's funeral today" Yep, yep it is "Bin and boxes next" Dad reading the What Is Happening This Week Listing

There isn't much good about this job but paid carer leave is part of it. Although no one actually covers the work I should be doing.

Dopey dog legs. Think he is the most agile thing in this house.

Walking stick label reapplied "but it's not straight, lovey". No Dad, indeed it isn't because it is a ratty bit of tape.

"And of course there was the Cunt Line" - not entirely sure what Dad actually meant there.

Luckily my manager is understanding about all of this.

Dad sitting today as Mum has a funeral. Time agreed to go over etc so I can book time from work. Text from Mum indicating he is very confused, might be a bit cold etc. So loads of extra worry. Cheers Mum.

*checks list* nope, you're ok.

And in the audience tonight at the Q&A section we had: Rambling manecdote (not a question) Convoluted statement (almost a question) Observations (nope) Two actual questions

Rampant sniffers, The Crunchers, Life Narrators, people chosing to sit within a nine seat radius of me in a near empty cinema. And anyone eating those soggy dick hot dogs.

There is a *fantastic* line up of "events" on. I mean, all varieties of punch ups and chicken in a basket.

Oh how sweet, and bet the owner had been so stressed out.

I have only been there once about 25 years ago - that it is a hub of darts still surprises me.

Mid year review, do all the stress inducing prep for it "sorry running late" Foxache.

I so love this, proper companionship and dreams of escaping normal life.

I'll add it to a long list of Brain Induced Numptiness

Best comment of the evening: "Well I am all for the Avant- Garde, but there was no need for that"

Oh Scot Squad is flipping brill. Officer Karen resonates a lot!

If it makes you feel better, paid to go to a read through of a play yesterday and hadn't realised that on Sunday it was an hour earlier. Flipping brains.

Well there's posh for a venue indeed.

Blimey small world etc. Music worked well I thought.

On reflection, this would be A Lot Better as Trio Bloke (triooooo) was also An Advert Narrator. It was like having stupidity on delay.

Went to see Sense and Sensibility yesterday. It was OK. I have no strong feelings about it. I did feel like cheesewiring the noisy trio who were working their way through a crisp challenge by the sound of it.

*gargles in anticipation* I think this is actually a Very Appropriate Response we should all adopt.
