if I have to wake up before dawn for international work meetings, I'm taking the morning off to dip into a pool with a view followed by coffee and food at the Korean-French patisserie

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Parent made sweeping comment about how ๐ฆ๐บgovernment should ban X group who says Y thing about Z and immediately got reminded that his offspring is not only a media/arts lawyer I'm married to a politically active person
