I think my teenager would not talk to me for a couple days lol

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

At the colegio San ildefonso somos Pacifico exhibition with Elsa Arroyo, Verónica Herrera and students

Shout out to Aaron Hyman & Elsa Arroyo who made this mad CDMX 60hr work trip possible: touring an exhibition with curator & students, giving a talk and participating in a seminar looking at prints before dashing to airport! (Also Aaron brought me a Rosetta blueberry focaccia to eat at the airport) ❤️

Girl here for 3 days for a very quick work thing and the jacaranda are blooming and I’m sad to leave

Farm laborer -> auto upholsterer

Me: I look at art and write/talk about it and attend many pointless meetings

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

A delicious cocktail on a condesa rooftop w jacarandas blooming

Me and Aaron Hyman recovering between museums

Supposed to say Teresa de Tovar - ah well here’s a cocktail and some jacarandas and also some art historians at work

Forgot alt text- a handmade blue corn tortilla overflowing w chicken tinga, nopales and green salsa, held on paper on my lap.

Supposed to be meeting a friend for bougie pastry breakfast but of course I caught the ladies selling tinga quesadillas on the corner when I ran out for coffee and I couldn’t help myself bc I love nopales. The picture does not do it justice. The salsa was excellent and got everywhere

I saw your friends but somehow not you at st Anne’s! (I’m an art historian so the Warhol was like a beacon!)

Texas AG Paxton Declares Therapists Affirming Trans Youth To Be Illegal And Child Abuse The declaration echoes his 2022 efforts to target parents of trans youth with child abuse, and may force conversion therapy on trans youth in the state.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:

Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.

Its a horrifying escalation.

*pounds the table* POR-TENT! POR-TENT!

It also remains the case that the Trump NEH will not fund work that 'promotes' "gender ideology," "discriminatory equity ideology," "support for diversity, equity, and inclusion," "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility," or "environmental justice initiatives or activities"

An aerial photo shows three diggers excavating the ground for graves. More than 65 graves are already dug. Those not yet dug are marked out by chalk.

Not a single US newspaper will publish this photo. No news channel will broadcast it.

The graves are being prepared for more than 80 young children killed in the US/Israeli strike on the school in Minab, Iran on Saturday.

How lovely! Having to care for a parent is one of the hard things in life. Also now I want to know what wonderful person wrote this.

I knew someone who painted rich people children’s room murals but not the specific Italian Renaissance fantasies you’ve requested. She was… a lot

This is so wonderful! ❤️❤️

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

A green lawn with a small man-made lake in the middle ground with Swan shaped paddle boats, palm trees, a crystal blue sky, and the New Orleans Museum of art in the background

#nolasky if you’re not outside, you need to fix that immediately.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Thanks!
