Yeah. It’s a shitty practice and I can’t believe someone hasn’t tried bringing it to court. Or if they have, they’ve failed, which is depressing.

It’s hard when you know there are professional repercussions for talking about it. My friends and I talk quietly to one another, but we found that people of a certain generation in the industry (40 and up) do not share our views so we keep the circle close. We don’t know if they’re retaliate, but I’ve been lectured by…

I really want it to be more ok for people to discuss their salaries. People are so money-squeemish. Having it instilled in us that talking about pay is uncouth has only hurt us. But keeping pay secret only helps employers, for the rest of us it’s powerful information.

I see this as a place where people in other parts of the food chain would start exercising this new Morality superpower.

Though not from a new organization, this is my favorite piece on the subject.

I think the main drawback is that it only works if you follow the guidelines explicitly every single day of your life, which is prohibitively difficult for a lot of people.

No, no one “copied” her work, they just aped her style sensibilities. Circle of the Moon had some pretty garbage composite art that was trying to paste together her layout aesthetic and mixed in a badly “painted” Dracula. It was pretty obvious they were trying to recreate some of the feel of her work, and missing the…

This was some of Ayami Kojima’s best work. It was disappointing in later games when they went with someone else who tried aping much of her style sensibilities but was just not as good.

The US takes such pride in being a “melting pot” but gets really freaked out when you start adding any ingredients other than more potatoes.

I hate the blinding dashboard of new cars. Screens everywhere! I dove my mom’s brand new car at night and wished the entire interior had a dimmer switch.

Wisconsin takes their butter extremely seriously. It was only last year that you could sell Kerrygold butter in the state again, given the hoops one has to jump through. WI has a law (dated 1953) requiring all butters to be rated on various measures — including flavor, body and color — by the federal government or…

“Instead of giving Mavis a bonus this year, we used the money on a folding robot! She’s so grateful, she can go home 4 minutes early on Fridays now.”

“We need an animal that’s NOT a spider...I know, BIRDS! It worked for Hitch, it’ll work for us!”

Horror is a great place to deal with anxieties and fears in a very visceral way. A lot of the best and most iconic horror stars women. I imagine black women in particular would bring a very interesting and new perspective to the coffin. And as a fan of horror who sick to the rotting death of dudes making zombie…

That’s an issue of poorly run museums, or even museums without a public outreach budget. If you’ve got enough money to store and maintain your art and nothing else, public outreach gets cut. Which means fewer people come, which means it’s harder to justify staying open...it’s a vicious cycle. Advertising, good…

This apartment is bigger than my entire house. I don’t even know what I would do with all this space. “Fill it with chairs” seems to be what Greta did.

Let me pass on to you one of my favorite museum events. Celebrating an exhibit of 90s art with a 90s party. Photographs of musicians near a photobooth where people could done fishnet gloves and flannel button-downs. “Best Docs Contest.” There are definitely some museums that are better than others when it comes to…

I’m not a great person to ask, because I’m an artist and most of my friends are artists, so we’re predisposed to want to go see art. But...we’re also all either pretty firmly below the poverty line or riding right on it, and come from similar backgrounds. We love museums, especially free ones. When we road trip, we go…

All I have to add is that if you’re in the Chicago area and want a free museum, the National Museum of Mexican Art is absolutely beautiful and in a good food neighborhood.

Typical mainstream white feminism, this is bánh mì bì-erasure. They should falafel about themselves.
