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 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.

i was in washington DC last month and the whole time i was in awe of how much art and history and science and culture you could just go and experience completely for free. i paid $0 to go in look at this beautiful painting that could’ve been sold to some rich guy for a jillion dollars instead. i often feel like everything is out to squeeze everything out of me that it can so i really value that we have things that exist just to enrich our minds and souls

“Wanna be friends?” is an underutilized tactic in adulthood. Kindergarteners know what’s up.

This is a type of walk I do almost every day. Walk in one direction until you hit a stoplight. Then immediately turn and walk in the new direction until you hit a stoplight and repeat until you get back home.
