Notes on Joon’s SFMOMA speech: - art as anchor - truly this man can feel guilty about anything - he’s 100% correct abt collection as exposition of self. - two q’s shaping exhibit/collecting: does it move me; does it have something to say?

It's that day again. Use any and all resources available to help you through it. (And, as always, #FuckAI)
Reminder to treat your body like a data center:
1. Consume as much water and literature as possible 
2. Upset the local city council with your existence

Y’all I haven’t done a non-academic job search in (checks notes) over 20 years. I’m accustomed to all day endurance test interviews that take six months to get to and end with nobody ever getting back to you.

Anything I could (or would) write, long-form, about my post-academic professional life, would mostly just ensure I could never return to academia.

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

BTS as ppl in an academic library: Jin: Fundraising. Can switch on the charm and coax money out of anyone. Donors LOVE him. Throws great parties, which always end precisely on time. NJ: Manuscripts and/or art on paper. Sometimes forgets what century it is outside. Head of faculty senate.

I forget how many of these Shai Hulud / pine burrs I’ve made. Three? Four? This is the latest one. #quiltsky
A pine burr quilt square (it looks like the bottom of a pine cone, and/or a sand worm) in a mixture of light and dark browns and grays, against a light brown and gray batik background.

Alt text: a long runner carpet-like quilt composed of individual squares pieced and quilted, probably about 8 feet wide, and long enough to run across a stone patio, up a flight of stairs, and probably all the way to front door of the ornate government building rising in the background.

Algorithm thinks I am, maybe, divorced (no), interested in horses (yes), interested in medium-fat women trying on clothes (sort of), and keen on naked cats (again, kind of), and that bookkeeping would be appealing as a career (ppl would pay me to NOT do their books.)

I was thinking, the other day, watching IHR promo, that that set must have been a surprise to Butter/Dynamite-only fans. (Like, say, Donny Osmond.) in a: this is who they REALLY ARE, kind of way.

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.
Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.
