New year, new windows! outsidemywindow.org/everyone-eve... Today though, Lexy's window reimagining feels especially important. Undocumented immigrants are our neighbors, friends, lovers, and helpers. The domestic terrorists are the ones shooting us in the head in broad daylight on the street.

Catching up on writing (part 1) A May Day post, a little late for Labor Day. In a better world though, perhaps every day would be celebrating us workers, and this post would be right on time. outsidemywindow.org/2025/05/04/m...

May Day Play
Sometimes our imaginings scream or sing, and sometimes they whisper or hum quite lullabies. In this evening of worlding, we stayed quiet, gave voice instead to the more-than-human world through our…

In a small park in #Tilburg stands a strange brick structure with a hole right in the center, creating a window onto the park's shallow pond. The municipality is now collecting comments on renovations for this park. There's a QR code and a survey. But what if they did something more creative? 🧵1/

Situating the Outside My Window project within the concept of "enclosure", @schuylerlaparle.bsky.social reflects on how we can use art to challenge the systems that regulate how our bodies move and interact with the world. #Art as #Resistance #ReclaimTheCommons

A beautiful thing to wake up to: the first from-a-distance @outsidemywindow.bsky.social project contribution! I love organizing art parties in my community. But there's a very special joy that comes from a distant person sharing theirs with me. More please 🌻 outsidemywindow.org/everyone-eve...

Collaged re-imaginings from @arablelands.bsky.social May we all find a reason to believe it's not too late. #Art #Collage #ClimateHope #ReclaimTheCommons
Window frame displaying collage of a mountain view, with a California condor in the foreground. In the sky are the words "A REASON TO BELIEVE IT'S NOT TOO LATE"Picture of a window framed displaying collaged material of foliage and classical statues of women. Underneath are the words "Bread & Roses"Yellow background with black text reading "Jason (Arable Lands). Tilburg, the Netherlands. Usually, when I look out the window and see the barren pavement, the tiny fenced yards enclosing not a single living thing, the space taken up by garages full of SUVs and forgotten consumer goods, I curse Pangloss and think "truly, we live in the worst of possible worlds". This project was a pleasant invitation to instead tend to a hypothetical connective garden."

"Imagining the end of the world is easier than imagining the end of capitalism" is only true if we forget that we are creative. And capitalism is really good at making us forget. But all it takes is a few friends and some art supplies to remember. outsidemywindow.org/2025/03/29/t...

The First Gathering
Under the shifting shadows of a collapsing system, we have to look out our windows and learn to see possibilities, not just the world as it is. We have to envision and enact a world renewed, not in…

Very excited to announce that a collaborative art project aimed at "reclaiming the commons" is now open for contributions! These are not good times, and so I needed an outlet for creating, sharing, and fostering hope. This is my modest attempt at that. You're all invited🌻 outsidemywindow.org
