Life got better when I changed the critics yammering in my head. Haters sound like Elmer Fudd, my mother sounds like Foghorn Leghorn. Can't take either seriously

If you're ramping up indie media subscriptions post-election, IMO the most essential newsroom you can fund is Capital B, for actual on-the-ground reporting from and with Black communities.

You just won't read stuff like this post-election piece from @aallyahpatrice.bsky.social anywhere else.

It's my birthday today!

(Hi, I'm Edouard and I am awkward around people. Ask me about my favorite painters or architectures and you'll see)

I spoke at @piie.com about the crisis in US immigration policy.

The mass exclusion of US immigrants that begins in 10 weeks will eliminate jobs for US natives and raise the federal deficit (that is: will raise taxes on natives and our children).

I go through some of the key nonpartisan research—>

First post on Bluesky...be gentle. 😀
I'm a photographer, showcasing Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city for more than ten years now via Facebook and other social media platforms. I thought I'd pop over here and say hi and do the same thing - here's an epic sunset over Edinburgh to get us started!

There is nothing pretty or elegant about the work of the late Frank Auerbach, and certainly no evidence of frivolousness.
Painter Frank Auerbach Dies at 93
The artist rendered portraits and scenes of the streets of north London with a life-affirming spirit and no evidence of frivolousness.
