This is my latest big, and ongoing, project - a free resource pack for artists in the #pittsburgh area to find marketing, vending, gallery, etc. opportunities.
It is harder than ever to be an artist, especially with algorithms hiding opportunities at every turn, and AI disappearing us.

My advice for emerging artists and pros alike: it’s time for in person events.
The industry and community is scattered and algorithms are currently siloing us off.
Go to cons, festivals, screenings + launches, and other art events.
While social media is still shifting, invest in face to face.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.
You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.
Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

New — Some “critical” IRS employees learned today they’re exempt from the deferred resignation program until May 15th, presumably because the administration remembered it’s tax season.

this is a great start. and the energy of being a part of this helps offset that sense of doom and isolation. but just standing around outside and yelling putters out after a while.
at any case, glad it's started.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

So the FBI could surveil & then assassinate a 21 year old Civil Rights leader in 1969, but is powerless to take any steps to stop--checks notes--a 19 year old who goes by the name Big Balls from defunding and defrauding a $6 Trillion economy? Do I have that right?
