[The New York Times @nytimes]

Climate protesters threw cans of tomato soup at Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” at the National Gallery in London. The gallery said the work was unharmed aside from “some minor damage to the frame.”

My twitter never gets a look-in so here are some portraits I’m making for the Affordable Art Fair mural in Hong Kong this summer.

@youngposthk covered The Hong Konger Wall mural I'm making for the Affordable Art Fair in HK this summer. tl;dr — I'm drawing Hong Kongers for free and still have 50-ish portraits to make so upload a photo to be drawn

Yes, I could deal with my anxiety by taking long slow breaths, but how about I take just one deep breath and hold it until I die? 😏

@GreatRisk @dadwroteaporno @uncleegor I specifically scrolled through the comments to find a reference to “two weeks yesterday.” Thank you 🥲

I nearly burned my childhood home down microwaving a mince pie and suddenly Netflix is recommending every cooking show on its platform to me. Don’t tell me the algorithm doesn’t listen.

If one more stranger mansplains NFTs to me as if I've never heard of them, I swear on baby Jesus of Nazareth that I will go full King Herod and incite violence.

Whenever I read that Biden's going to have a phone call with Putin or something, I get so vicariously anxious for everyone involved. I can barely call a restaurant to make a reservation without needing a pep talk, chamomile tea, and trophy.

Was sad I didn't have an advent calendar this year but then I realised I have my Mon-Fri pillbox which is technically more exciting because it's an advent calendar I've never needed to wait 11 months to crack open 🤩💊
