This was on my whiteboard when I came out of the shower today

Kind of sounds like Coade Stone, though I think that needed to be fired.

It was a sunny morning and I went to the lake to see the bright autumn colours, but as I got near I entered a wall of fog so thick it felt like I was driving off the edge of the world into nothingness.

At the lake there were no colours at all, no shapes either, only pure introspective silence, so instead of walking I just sat here.

After you've looked at fog long enough seeing objects feels oddly demanding, like something you're actively doing. The fog dissipated slowly and reluctantly so at first some colours and shapes would appear, surrounded by misty emptiness. I felt a bit like a plant being offered a glimpse into animal consciousness, to see what the fuss is about.

Devastating! Art museum gift shop doesn’t sell prints of specific and unpopular painting that struck a cord with you!

call me old-fashioned but I think visitors to historical sites have the right to a fully analogue experience of the building if they want it

tech is great for accessibility, and to provide supplemental info for self-guided places. I don't mean an experience without seeing OTHER PEOPLE use their phones, a kiosk, an iPad, etc. that would be unfair to people who needed the accessibility features. just that those things should be opt-in

screens at low angles on stands so they're only visible if you actively walk up to them. iPads, as previously mentioned. audio tours accessible on your phone, but with a request to please only use them with earbuds/headphones. real human staff one can talk to.

NOT screens positioned upright on walls, timed light/sound shows that fill the whole space, etc.

I'm there to see a historical building I can't see anywhere else, in real physical space. not to look at a screen or a projection unless I make that choice, to answer a specific question or similar. and I should be able to have that experience of the site if I want to

"it's concerning if university students are genuinely struggling to read full adult-level books for class" and "don't overstate the reporting of a single news article" and "if this shift is genuinely real, it's reflective of broad curriculum changes in lower education levels, probably at least in part due to remote schooling during COVID, and doesn't mean the new generation is being willfully Stupid and Vapid" and "when reading for personal pleasure people should read whatever they like without shame" and "reading from a broad variety of genres, styles, and authorial backgrounds will improve your understanding of both literature and the real world" and "actively mocking people for their tastes in books does not encourage them to become more adventurous you're just being mean" and also "but seriously adult books are not just boringly pretentious nothingburgers padded with pointless sex scenes, and claiming they are just shows how little you've read" all can and should co-exist.

if a professor has a single digit (or ZERO) number of allowable absences that means they really really want to hear a grotesquely detailed description of every medical problem you have btw. your goal should be as much disgust on the face as possible

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five
