Just because one seems to have a noble cause, it doesn't mean you can trust them to restrain themselves to noble means. npub17wvpjrz32m395u3zgjtk3mz65t6ch5ykcyyr4k8cafkcaazlcyrs4zl5ms Gabriel Pretty sus if you ask me https://news.mit.edu/2025/nuno-loureiro-professor-director-plasma-science-and-fusion-center-dies-1216 https://fedi.libresolutions.network/media/7f4a5a0952d3489855ea28202fe909d6afacb43fd7810cf453e83509c340541c.jpg npub17wvpjrz32m395u3zgjtk3mz65t6ch5ykcyyr4k8cafkcaazlcyrs4zl5ms Gabriel Art is about the choices we make Making things myself has changed the way I appreciate other people’s work. I used to understand the word “appreciate” as establishing the value of something. I thought that appreciating a Van Gogh painting meant seeing why Starry Night is so damn popular, because if you don’t, something is just wrong with you. Only since recently do I understand appreciation in the sense of love and gratitude. Failing to paint one landscape after another make me appreciate just how difficult it is to convey emotion in just a few brush strokes.
