For today's #ArtAdventCalendar, a crowd of koi fish that went through several versions before landing here. The exploration and experimentation of it all is a big part of what makes art interesting and satisfying to me

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"
How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀

Really appreciate the justified anger in this piece by @ryanlcooper.com.

The GOP's narrative about trans people "is and always has been a lie. What these people actually have is a seething, obsessive hatred of trans people. They want them either back in the closet or dead."
The Transphobic Mask Is Off - The American Prospect
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene drew up a bill making it a federal felony to provide pediatric transition care of any kind. The ultimate goal is a ban on all trans health care and the end of civil rights ...

Because, again, the federal fucking government is trying to stop companies from selling binders. Not because of any concerns about safety or possible harm, but specifically because trans men use them to mitigate dysphoria.

They're saying this openly, explicitly.

this is a fucking nightmare
Law Enforcement is releasing the "person of interest" in the Brown University shooting. He’s not the guy. The search is ongoing, and this isn’t over.

This is why I never reported on the person's name. Getting stuff like this wrong can ruin lives.

writing my (lovely) therapist with my typical probably-too-polite request for an extra appointment, but including the line "due to the mass shooting at my work," is....

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.

This is our map collection. My colleague runs this space with love and care. Strings holiday lights up. to see students sheltering behind those map collections… 💔💔💔
This is college in the United States. Video from inside a Brown University building shows the moment that police found a group of students who were sheltering after the shooting on campus. This isn't freedom.

Ending the evening with the shooter still at large. Trying to focus on the righteous anger of young people put into this situation again and again and again. Colleagues and students I’ve been able to connect with so far are ok. But people are dead. Listening to helicopters and feeling nauseous.

Powerful testimony to the utter failure of politics in the US to provide young people the freedom to learn without violence.

Oh no oh my god. outside our library.
Brown University says there's an active shooter on campus. Emergency scanner says multiple victims, but unclear how many.

Video footage viewed by the Brown Daily Herald "depicted several individuals lying on the ground near the Sciences Library appearing to be assisted by police."
Active shooter on campus, Department of Public Safety reports
The alert and call was sent to students immediately by DPS following the incident, urging students to hide, run or evacuate until further notice.
