The Silver Lining: 3

Apr 15, 2020

Saying hello again this week and we know y’all agree with us: this COVID-coaster makes for one queasy ride. One moment we are sick of everyone and everything (eye rolling at another “in this together” moment) and the next melting over the commercial with those loving siblings (not slapping on each other like most kids confined indoors) eating breakfast cereal together in their blanket fort.It’s rough riding but you guys are still kicking art *ss despite the nausea!! Let’s get to it.

LOOK WHO’S BOLD AF
Way to hang in there when things are H-A-R-D HARD. Between payroll protection and stimulus sh*t to figure out, we applaud you. Like bringing arts and culture to the masses wasn’t hard before this, right?As big fans of modern goddess Brene Brown, we believe love and vulnerability in today’s world is bold as bold can be. We are touched by the way art museums are holding each other up and sending the joy of flower bouquets to their comrades in culture. Thanks artnet news for sharing the love. We sure as hell need it.

COVID-19 COERCED QUESTION-OF-THE-WEEK
No question this week because who the heck feels like answering questions?!?

Edible art has been a thing for a long time, but we haven’t seen anything like this! Let’s eat this damn pretty thing! Cause I haven’t had a snack in about, um, four minutes.
