I get very tired at art museums, so once I get the lay of the land, my next visit is usually just one or two pieces, for maybe 10 minutes of absorption. Examples: the Frank Stella wall piece on the staircase at SF MOMA, the painting at the National Gallery East by some Dutch master from the perspective of inside a deep riverbed with two bridges and some city buildings above, the Iranian metalwork vessels with amazing mosaic bead work at the Sackler Gallery. In and out, tightly focused.

This is the best thing about living in DC where the museums are free. Go inside and look at only one painting. Take at LEAST 5 entire minutes but preferably more, like up to an hour. Then walk away.

I'd NEVER pay for a algo-driven, ad-saturated social network...so even if it's purely symbolic in the long run, I just upgraded to demonstrate with my wallet that there is a market for this cool community.

I know I'm not cool. That's why I appreciate the PI community for letting me play at being cool. I feel like a hipster pollywog with a protective froggie parent letting me explore the pond safely. Sure, at some point I'm likely to get snatched up as a seagull's breakfast, but I'll enjoy the pond while I can. Thanks.

Probably picked it up from Reddit, I feel good when saying this, no idea why.
