classical art museums can be so boring sometimes.... especially when you don't know the context or what to look for visually!
I came up with a game that I play with my friends when we go to classical art museums with a lot of portraits. Smash or Pass (museum edition), its pretty self explanatory, just walk through the portraiture section and decide wether you want to smash or pass the people in the portraits. It's extra fun if you create backstories for the people and decide based on the full story you've come up with.
Can also be played in the non portraiture section by personifying the non-people paintings and giving them human personalities and features based on the vibe that you get from the painting (or the feeling it evokes in you).
++ extra museum tip that I've found is: don't ever try to go through an entire museum in one day (unless its a small museum). Consuming so much information within one space is way too tiring for the brain and often makes the information you consumed much less memorable.

If you like going to the movies and have a selection of AMCs near you it’s an unbelievably good deal. Even at my most destitute I have refused to cancel this membership because it’s basically a free activity anytime and a fun little date with myself. 3 movies a week for $25/month??? I will never shut up about this.

If you go to the movies regularly this deal cannot be ignored. Not only can you see all the good movies, you can see the bad ones with no regrets

I was sitting in Washington Square Park a few evenings ago when I saw young people visibly dressed in clothes from my cultural/religious community. I started googling centers in the area and realised they must be going to the only one close by on the map. I signed up for an event and I went there today!
I left crying crocodile tears…
It was the first time I ever felt really seen and understood by this community that I’ve been struggling to fit into my whole life. The first time I didn’t feel judged for all parts of myself, parts that I usually hide.
anyways, if I wasnt people watching in the park and if I didn’t let my people watching curiosity lead me to where I went, I wouldn’t have felt this incredible grateful joy I feel today!
pay attention to what the world is showing you 🫶
