I think I have like 5 Jews following me . Hi
#I post in ways that would make jumblr scratch their heads#but also I wish there were less people I would have to worry about alienating sometimes#that’s not my intention but sometimes I think about systems of power + history + art and I have to save it for the drafts#Jesus is not my friend from art history anymore he hasn’t been since I had a very weird day at the mfa in like. march#like I had one of those Ferris Bueller Seurat moments in front of a painting of Jesus and I felt like I was going to die#it was right around the time I was obsessively researching the Holocaust and the actual material structure of the museum#+ it’s display practices made me really uncomfortable and I haven’t been back since actually#in the past year they’ve been trying to improve how they handle Jewish culture + art but they are. not succeeding in my opinion#also they’re working with like. every Israeli backed organization in Boston so that’s a whole nother can of worms
