Keith Haring: When Capitalist Consumerism Fails an Artist
  • Just went to a museum showing of Haring's work and capitalism was such a major theme of his work and life. I love the idea of "Art is for everybody" and our culture often doesn't know how to handle that.

  • A San Francisco library is turning off Wi-Fi at night to keep people without housing from using it
  • This article has a great deep dive on how we have so few "free" or community-sourced places in the US that they often get used as a catch-all for any and all social problems we have. See: libraries as homeless shelters. From the article:

    What’s happened is we’ve stigmatized our public spaces, because we’ve done so little to address core problems that we’ve turned them into spaces of last resort for people who need a hand. And as we do that, we send another message to affluent, middle-class Americans, and that is: If you want a gathering place, build your own in the private sector. So we have a lot of work to do.
