- Reposted by Sam TungDemocratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

- Reposted by Sam TungBeen looking into a lot of John Watkiss' art recently, and 2 things that strike mare are ... well his composition, draftsmanship is so elegant and masterful, it's mindbogglingly good. But also...his portrayal of Jane is so much Sharper than what we got in Disney's final

- Reposted by Sam TungIncrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear
