Before Musk, Twitter was one of the most important journalistic outlets in the world. Now The Guardian, one of the most important newspapers in the world, has abandoned it.

I have needed breaks before. I look at plants, seeds, to do list, watch videos or movies, etc. I do get why some might leave over antisemitism but people guilty of that usually block me. Probably because I am not jewish. I'm sorry when that is a reason for people to leave. That's one small loud group in Never Maga and a bunch of them voted for Trump or didn't vote so.. please block them and stay here.
@gemswinc Water is already scarce and becoming more so in the southwest.. One of the differences I see from when I was a young man, is that there is no realistic expectation that it will get better in the lifetime of anyone alive today.

YaYoi Kusama and Psychedelic Schizophrenia

#20Artists20days Any reason, no reason. Day 6 Yayoi Kusama
I discovered 8 her years ago, and she is a favorite.
Kusama has Schizophrenic tendencies, hallucinations and etc. She moved into a mental institution in 1977 & still lives there, her studio across the road.
She is known for infinity rooms/nets, polka dots and installation art. Go to an exhibit if you can!
My take is that she sees the universe at the cellular & atomic level, enough to make anyone "crazy"
#20Artists20days. Your favorites, those that move you etc. Any reason. Post with art example if you like.
Day 2: Joan Eardley (1921-1963), British, Scottish artist. Exquisite lines, deliciously moody but colourful palettes. Her pastels of Scottish tenement children are particularly moving.
