@dnkboston @dalias @kibcol1049 if it’s not money laundering then it’s a tax dodge. They all buy up some unknown artist’s work cheaply, thereby increasing the value and helping make a big name for them. Later they donate this art to a museum and write off the tax for the vastly inflated valuation.

@aral Ireland stares at you through 900 years of history (and counting). 😅

@charleekress @broadwaybabyto in the natural world, bright colors are used to deter predators. Looks like it scares away human predators too.

@MamasPinkyToe fucking enchanted

@jordgubben @KatyElphinstone having the same way of communicating and showing empathy is a good start though. Just infodump on your favorite topic and see who bites.

@stevel @GossiTheDog I thought this kind of reporting in infrastructure type industries was already required by law / regulators?

@barubary @kotaro @vagina_museum it makes stuff up, and then you ask it for the reasoning and it makes more stuff up 😅

@hellomiakoda Have you ever heard of the Halloween carnival in Derry, Ireland? Basically the adults in my home city decided back somewhere in the 80s that dressing up in costumes and occupying the streets en mass wasn’t just for little kiddies, and it became standard for everyone to go crazy with elaborate costumes. People run into others with similar costumes/theme and just start playing with it in the streets. It’s madness 😅

@KatyElphinstone @nellie_m I used to be really skinny as a child but more related to food avoidance. As an adult I would lose weight if I was living alone. I would tend to get into something and forget to eat / not feel hungry so often. Other people making food around me helps remind me to be hungry.

@padraig @mastodonie @opencollective I’m 1 year supporting this too (on 6th November). Worth every cent!
