Maeve says that Leah is a really talented painter. Leah has an AAAHH! Real Monsters t-shirt featuring Krumm and a plaid shirt and a black coat.
Chelsea is a sculptor but she studied psychology and criminal justice. Sitting next to her was a Sikh man.
I probably would have hopped over to the Gardner Museum but I'd probably have to wait in line and it was too fucking cold for that.
Soooooo, here we have the Monument to V. Tatlin, yet again. I just learned today that to the eye, the lights all look white but a camera can see the shades of yellow. I also learned today that it’s Aaahh!!! Real Monsters. Three As, two Hs, and three exclamation marks. I always thought it was just AAAAAAAAAH! That’s memory for you.
Perla Mabel - Nasarah
Perla Mabel - Destroyed A Perfectly Good Body
Made with beads, fabric, and two ferns on oil painted satin. The description talks about the lack of representation of women of color in art. Apparently they’re scenes from existing artwork redrawn with women in her life.
Katherine Wildman built a room filled with talismanic figures.
Timothy Manalo recreates banal and yet fundamental markers of Filipino-American/Canadian culture.
Louis Meola invokes scrap metals and broken plexiglas.
Paa Joe Tetteh-Ashong - Eagle Coffin
The eagle is a symbol of authority amongst the Gã-Daŋbɛ people of Ghana, who speak a language with three vowel lengths, along with many many other groups. The Gã are well-known for their coffins, most of which are in the form of the deceased's occupation, personality traits, or reputation.
It really is functional as a coffin, but it’s a bit more durable because it’s meant to stay in the MFA’s collection and not to go in the ground where it eventually decays and the body becomes one with life's circle.
Michael Frimkess' Blues For Dr. Banks depicts Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan, and Billie Holliday. He was briefly a jazz musician.
They've had it since at least 2012. This is an old picture. Well, actually, I made a copy of the image and then adjusted the quality for good measure in hopes that imgur wouldn't give me blob.
Roberto Lugo - Law and Order: The Reincarnation of Frederick Douglass.
It looks like it was done in Sharpie but no.
The artist brings up that time in which Donald Trump referred to Frederick Douglass as if he was still alive. I don't remember this happening because to me, 2017 was 60,000 days ago.
Covering up Trump's mouth are phrases like "grab them by the pussy" and "bad hombres" and "nasty women."
On the other side is Frederick Douglas. Along Ouroboros are a police van and a coffin. On the lid are Trayvon Martin and Frederic Brown.
Katherine Westphal - Peruvian Monkeys
The art in the rotunda and in the mirror-rotunda and around the information deck were curated by Boston high school students and feature works by African-American and Afro-Latin artists of the 20th century. They are grouped into the city, paintings of urban scenes; ubuntu, an isiZulu word meaning roughly interconnectedness; normality facing adversity; smile in the dark.
A woman had pink hair and a silver crescent hanging from a black ribbon choker. Her girlfriend had short black hair, earrings with a moon on one ear and a star on the other.
A woman had the word PICKLE tattooed on her arm.
A woman had a pin with Kermit holding his hands and eyes in front of his face like the Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth.
The woman with dark red and abyssopelagic black hair is currently studying electrical engineering although that could change at any moment. Since they weren’t from Boston, they were remarking on how loud the trains are, especially at Boylston.
So there's a game Tim Pool played in which Pepe fights protestors and I attempted to play it. I have no idea how to control Pepe and I have to admit that it's more fun to just watch protestors beat the shit out of that stupid disgusting froggy fuckface while the background glitches out. Tim's on par with the streamers of Gamingforce and the game is on par with a shitty flash game on Ebaumsworld circa 2004. So it makes sense for him to play it.
burning question: Why, in 2020, does Trump want to put Sudan on a travel ban list? Also, for entirely different reasons, why Tanzania and Kyrgyzstan? I think the official reason for Belarus is that they're a dictatorship. And I don't think Nigeria will be an absolute ban, only a ban on Hausa and I think that his base, along with a large-sized portion of Democratic Underground, will eat that one up.
I don't think Democratic Underground supported the Kyrgyzstan Revolutions. That's due to a loathing of all things even remotely close to "regime change." Google's not being helpful but then again, that's a question for another post.
