Moving furniture this morning. Got a dryer down the stairs, sure. But let’s just say I’m happy to still be here with all y’all.

The idea of reading in the bath (or any body of water meant for lounging) appeals to me but the actually doing so, I just don’t know about that

If the work is any good, has any substance whatsoever, every reader that participates in it will come away with something different. Maybe broad strokes close to the same, but still different.

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

What’s the name of the artist/instillation where there’s a room full of empty pedestals while a video plays of people buying the buffalo statues that were on the pedestals with one woman in particular very excited she got the last one?
