I wrote about this show which I bloody loved! I thought a lot about money and failure and censorship and community and misogyny and care and making and institutions and something like beauty. I cried a lot in the galleries. I visited three times already! Let's go again there's so much to see!

It's disgusting that this even needs to be said, but there is no law compelling Americans to have any form of ID on them while walking the streets.
NEW—Earlier this evening agents from ICE/other fed agencies were outside Rhode Island Ave metro in DC asking people exiting the station for their IDs, per someone who experienced it. When the person presented their Real ID license, an agent said that wasn't sufficient. Luckily they had secondary ID.
