‘Art should not be censored’: Khaled Sabsabi responds to cancellation of Venice Biennale project www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Spent my day collecting garden materials from my favorite concrete graveyard and prototyping a water... thing.

The vertical integration of information and influence in Lutruwita/Tasmania is troubling to say the least. A politically active PR company, regional newspaper network and polling company with shared interests. What could go wrong? #politas

I love waking up to a fresh inkblot shadow each morning. Reminds me that the little things are still there for us. 🌱🪜

Did not have "subreddit admins rekindle your hope in humanity" on my 2025 bingo card.

Slowly seeing fellow artists from Lutruwita turning up here, so here's a starter pack I'll start adding them to. I'm sure more of you are out there so lmk and I'll add you! ☺️ go.bsky.app/V6q2ScB

The ascent of the broligarchs. This photo, with the most powerful techbros in the world seated in front of actual cabinet nominees, says everything really

Painting chair now matches studio 👌

Escaping the heat in the studio today. Preparing to apply the final layers on a painting of the new Bridgewater Bridge under construction.

For the 4th year in a row, my all-sky camera has been taking an image of the sky above the Netherlands every 15 seconds. Combining these images reveal the length of the night changing throughout the year, the passage of clouds and the motion of the Moon and the Sun through the sky. #astrophotography

Australia's Macquarie Dictionary crowns #enshittification as the word of 2024 As @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy said earlier this year: "We’re all living through the enshittocene, a great enshittening, in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit”

#auspol Regarding the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024 (aka. the social media kids ban), I sent a letter to my local federal MP + senators, and suggest you do the same. The senate committee inquiry is only open until end of Nov 22: www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

Great to see more folk from #tasmania arriving every day! Here are 2 starter packs of Tasmanians. First one is full - 150 folk. Second is around 40 so far, I’ll keep adding until that’s full too & then ask y’all if it’s worth doing a third or not. go.bsky.app/Dhstko4 go.bsky.app/QdK7iXR

Does anyone else leave notes as files for their future selves?
