A picture of one of the canals of beautiful Utrecht, with the Dom church tower in the background, people walking by the shops, and lots of bicycles parked against the railing.

Utrecht (in the Netherlands) is one of the nicest and most walkable (and cyclable!) cities on earth. ~80% of all movements in the city happen by foot or by bike! 🚲

And RustWeek takes place in the very center of it! Come visit RustWeek and Utrecht!

A transformative moment in museum history. Seriously, so much about how museums relate to their audiences changed after this. 🐏

The goal is to punish the GOP in the midterms so thoroughly it breaks them as a party, while simultaneously getting the Democrats to understand that if they continue to wring their hands instead of HELP PEOPLE we will break them just as hard.
