💕 Hundreds of supporters of the John F. #KennedyCenter for the #PerformingArts gathered Friday as the sun set over the Potomac, surrounded as much of the building as they could, linked arms & chanted, “Hands off! Hands off!”
For the first time in what felt to them like ages, their beloved #arts center was brimming with life.

The #KennedyCenter board voted to close the center Tuesday after a tense meeting in which #Trump called in to berate a Democratic congresswoman who serves on the panel, acc/to 3 sources familiar with the matter.
“It was f**king crazy,” said one source familiar with the exchange between Trump & Rep #JoyceBeatty, whose #lawsuit has prevented Trump’s name from being added to the building.

Comparison and Contrast
peacegroover@devinatart
Comparison is dumb.
There will always be someone
smarter,
prettier,
richer,
funnier,
more talented,
more articulate,
more successful,
more spiritual,
more emotionally aware—
and someone
poorer,
uglier,
clumsier,
more confused,
and dumber than you.
So what?
Look up long enough, and you’ll feel inferior.
Look down long enough, and you’ll feel superior.
Both are lies.
Another person’s brilliance does not diminish yours.
Their beauty does not make you ugly.
Their success does not make you a failure.
There is no human scoreboard.
You are not here to outrank everyone else.
You are here to become yourself.
