With everything going wrong, it’s good to recognize and bolster ourselves on whatever is going right. Today, it’s this perfect, peaceful cat nap happening in the midst of a stupid work meeting.

The culture-wars approach to museums seems to me to be related to the assumption that museums are, or should be, the caretakers of singular, true and timeless narratives. (but) Truth isn’t a matter of supporting a specific set of beliefs, and the stories we tell—even about ourselves—change the more we know.

It’s even harder to take a week off from your shit job to go on a road trip to the airplane graveyard when your rent is $2000 a month, you’re sitting on a hundred grand in student debt, and your company is laying off 25% of the workforce because they believe they can replace you with a racist autocomplete script on meth and steroids, and chased by a glass of refreshing cooler from the Three Mile Island reactor.
