For all of those who were wondering why it's not 24/7 - after gender equality hours women get treated better, get better payments and men are constantly being harassed at the streets. #genderequality #feminism #gender #CenterforSupportiveBureaucracy #publicart #participatoryart #socialpractice #streetart

SAD NEWS!! Kickstarter declined our project to raise $148,000,000 to reestablish the National Endowment for the Arts. Sad!

Congratulations #JaneElliott for receiving the prestige ECN Prophecy License. She started her famous Blue Eye - Brown Eye exercise she first done with her elementary school students the day after #MLK assassination and since then thousands of students have experienced this powerful experience (CSB Data Department rated it as one of the ten top experiments of the 20th Century). Through her work she managed to notify millions of non-colored Americans of the existence of structural #racism in this country and inspire numerous people to work for change. A special committee of the #EmpoweringClerksNetwork found her eligible for the award. #race #justice #prophecy #CenterforSupportiveBureaucracy

It's official! The #Joypermit and the Inner Child official notice are going to have a QR code soon. I find that you can pretty much put any piece of paper in any public space if it is inside a sheet protector and has a parcel ID number and a barcode (#barcodesaresilly). I feel so privileged compared to graffiti artists who have to create their art in constant fear of getting caught :(
