Deep in that post residency/exhibition rut where you forget how you come to ideas or make art, where everything feels hard and ugly. I always think I’ve lost it and have to trust that like every other time I just have to force myself through it.

betrayed by admin pumping school (often public) $ into grifter bubble corporate welfare, disgusted by colleagues shamelessly cheating - BUT buoyed by the students, who still want to learn, with their own big brains
We have allowed the lazy, grifting Silicon Valley charlatans into the front door, & in doing so, we have learned just how many of our own colleagues & administrators simply are not interested in the actual business of education. It's incredibly demoralizing.

Thanks so much for your reporting on this, Ben. I just got an email from my campus's IT office triumphantly advertising free student access to four different AI models -- at the same time as we have a hiring freeze, caps on grad enrollment, and a 7% budget cut -- and wanted to scream.

There have been fascist adjacent elements in the USA for decades. Now it’s straight up fascism, they don’t even hid it, they celebrate it.
The Pentagon is implementing new guidelines that will require journalists to sign a pledge and agree to report only approved and officially released information.

Twin cities people. Please come see a new body of work I was lucky enough to make as one of the Jerome residents at Highpoint Center for Printmaking. There is a show opening June 13 I would love to see you. The other two residents Nancy Ariza and Emma Ulen-Klees have made beautiful work. Come see!

This is absolutely categorically an ethnic cleansing and sending people to Libya of all places is unconscionable.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News.
Trump administration working on plan to move 1 million Palestinians to Libya
Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.

I was lucky enough to receive a Jerome Residency from Highpoint Center From Printmaking this year. I am currently wrapping up this new body of work and getting pretty excited to share it with the Twin Cities next month. Here is a little detail shot of a newly finished piece.

Yes Chuck blame republicans for not standing up to trump when you the leader of the “opposition” won’t even stand up. Feckless cowards, the lot of them.
Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.
