what dyall do in cafes?

i am an authentic bro
sketching w/$20 colored pencils
in a 500-page leather bound sketchbook
sitting in a relevant café
in sitka
with a skuzzy beard
and fingerless gloves
that make me look ‘down to earth’/‘homeless’
but also wearing trendy thick-rimmed glasses
to suggest that I am still ‘intellectual’/‘thoughtful’/‘deep’
waiting for some hot broads
to ask me abt my ‘art’
i will flip through my sketchbook
to show them my meaningful drawings
that represent
my unique and insightful
perspective of the world
i grew up in the suburbs of middle america
north carolina
now i have shunned
my mnstrm suburban roots
come to alaska
to ‘get real’ abt life
and search 4 spiritual enlightenment
i am a fisherman/trailworker/wandering soul
becoming ‘one with nature’
turning my back on material things
sipping a $6 soy mocha chai spice vegan latte
and when I have learned all alaska has to teach
i will migrate
to williamsburg/portland/seattle/san fran
and live in an anarchist collective/freegan house/$2,000-a-month 1-bedroom apt.
to share my meaningful experiences
and my art
with other young and authentic spirits
this is my life, yall
sitka is MY town
just a pudgy beard bro
sitting in a relevant cafe
sketching in a 500-page leather bound sketchbook
w/$20 colored pencils

Museums are the place we gather
To tell stories about ourselves

Museums are the place we preserve the artifacts of
Art, History, Culture, and Science

Museums tell stories through the lens
Of unique and precious objects

Museums are the place
Where Infinity
'Goes up on trial' [via Bob Dylanbro]

The museum is a tomb
The museum is a temple
The museum is a forum
The museum is a monument
The museum is our life

Objects and objects
Paintings and dioramas and statues and maps
A labyrinth of galleries and display cases
Dim lighting and hushed voices
Tourists and school groups and lonely college bros
Searching for Truth
Searching for Meaning in the kaleidoscope of material things
A bucket of Knowledge splattered on the walls and stretched up some classical columns

So much to read
So much to see
So much to consume

Feel overwhelmed by all a museum represents
And all it wants me to feel

A woman sitting in a chair

Some stuffed grizzly bears

A painting behind three layers of glass

A dinosaur and some naked ghey cavemenbros

A building inside a building

I’m just a normal bro
Trying to ‘figure it all out’
I just want to learn
I just want to think
I just want to live a meaningful existence

Museum Bro Museum Bro
Your labels tell me what is right and what is wrong
You preserve what would have been lost

But try as you might, Museum Bro
You cannot prevent the inevitable
The decay and the rot of the human race
Though in the meantime
You offer us a pleasant platform on which we stand
To conduct the heavy business of denying the harsh reality
Of our eventual
Extinction

Museum, Museum,
I am lost in you, Museum
And when the sun blows up
And everything within you melts
I will be lost in you 4evar

<3 / h8 u, museums + squid and the whale bros

do u go 2 museums?
what’s your favorite type of museum?
are museums still ‘relevant’ 2 ‘societie’?
are museums ‘effing racist colonialist imperialist primitivizing’ 'shrines' to ‘white Western civilization’?
is ‘working in a museum’ a ‘valid’ / ‘legitimate’ / ‘socially contributive’ ‘career’?
have yall ever spent a ‘crazie nite @ the museum’ [via Ben Stillerbro]?
