Close-up of Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum last year - exquisite focus on the domestic: revolutionary. And me around the same time. Posing. Possibly pouting. Normally to be found pouring shit out of shit - but not in a painterly way.

A large proportion of my camera roll is random shots of the sky. I definitely belong here. #clouds

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

On a related note, I'm also a big fan of Tom Bob, the New York artist who turns mundane/ugly objects into street art...

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

There is a grammar vigilante in Bristol UK, mostly concerned with correcting store names and signs (usually removing or adding apostrophes as appropriate)

Booker Prize winner but - crucially I think - a slim volume with a cool cover & an enigmatic name. I can’t be the only person who picked it up in the bookstore, sight unseen, based on this. It sold 20K + even before announcement of prize win. #books #publishing #orbital
