tomfinnigan.bsky.social @tomfinnigan.bsky.social · 30/04/2026One of life’s great pleasures is performing malformed youth memes to the youths. For fellow practitioners I bring great news: 6-7 is the best meme to do badly since dabbing. Try saying “sixty-seven”, “6 or 7”, or just wrong numbers “4-5”. Move your hands sideways. Have fun with it! 100

tomfinnigan.bsky.social @tomfinnigan.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Art history is hard because how many different ways can you say “New Art”? We already have modernism, and contemporary, and art nouveau, etc. I run into this when naming my files. Have they tried just numbering the arts? “Ah yes, they were an influential artist in art 7.” 010
