    As if you needed any other reason to fire the cryptoart market directly into the sun, where it might have more use. Thanks to *Dr* (newly minted, congratulations!) for this work.

    “Looking over pictures of Baldwin’s house in Provence, I latched onto his records, their sonic ambiance, as a way to fill the space but still allow room for this emptiness, for differences.” - Onyewuenyi. HT to for this ace recommendation.

    Chez Baldwin is a 478-track, 32-hour-long Spotify playlist based on James Baldwin’s vinyl record collection compiled by Ikechúkwú Onyewuenyi, a curator at the Hammer Museum in LA

    Never mind Shantytok, now we have Sinktok...

    The best design criticism I've consumed all week: On the Dyson Airblade sinks at MoMA, "The water flow is frail and uninspired."

    Honestly disgusted by what is clearly another example of corrupt government private contracts. If you’re upset about what you’re seeing around these woeful school meals parcels, make noise! will help you contact your MP as a start.

    And write to your heads, Governing bodies, school Governers, local councillors, and ask them to switch back to the vouchers! Write to your MP and tell them about this. Donate to food banks and who are plugging the gaps in provision. And STAY ANGRY but channel it!

    Congrats to Dr Nova! Looking forward to getting my hands on this. In 2020 I broke my phone zero times, mostly because I have been outside very little, which has reduced the chances significantly (in 2019 that was not the case).

    For context, Capitol Police arrested FORTY THREE (43) disabled activists in 2017 for peacefully protesting cuts to Medicaid.

    1:03
    Capitol Police dragged and arrested disabled protesters back in June of 2017. 43 protesters were arrested that day, including those missing all their limbs. These courageous people were fighting for their lives. The morons today are fighting for... what?

    There's a million other places, and people, I want to see of course, but there are small private places that we all have that are ours too, and sometimes this time complete reminds us of their absence. It's such a privileged grief, but still a grief all the same.

    I know, and hope that those places of respite will be there soon, but we all have our places of comfort, and that one has been mine for almost 15 years, when I was a horribly depressed teenager, to now when things would get a bit much and I knew it was a place that was calming.

    I know it's a ridiculous thing to be thinking about at the moment, but I'm allowing myself to be a bit selfish in this, but one of the things I'd do when I was feeling really miserable about things was to go and get the tube and go and sit in the Rothko room with lots of people.
