Ladies, have you ever offended a man by saying “Let’s f*cking go?” Legend says only @Teamsters can talk like that.

We honor the lives and legacies of our enslaved ancestors every day at the Whitney by learning about their lives and continuing to seek liberation.
An image with a crimson background and a white quotation mark near the top. The following words are below the quotation mark, “The enslaved were not bricks in your road, and their lives were not chapters in your redemptive history. They were people turned to fuel for the American machine. Enslavement was not destined to end, and it is wrong to claim our present circumstance—no matter how improved—as the redemption for the lives of people who never asked for the posthumous, untouchable glory of dying for their children. Our triumphs can never compensate for this.”

How the fuck was everyone somehow convinced that the collective trauma experienced over the past 3+ years was due to remote work and masking and not, y'know, being abandoned to mass death and disablement in the name of unprecedented capital accumulation by the ultrawealthy?

The Filson has a long-standing relationship with our artist community! This dates back to sculptor Enid Yandell consulting with our founder, Reuben Durrett, and early Filson collections while preparing studies for her Daniel Boone sculpture located outside Cherokee Park.

I LOVE gender neutral bathrooms. I don’t think bathrooms should ever be gendered but if you’re a person who stands to pee, please PLEASE set the seat down when you finish. We sit-to-pee people are tired.

We are witnessing the tragic consequences of settler colonialism and capitalism in real time. Native Hawaiians are forced to pay the price of climate change, while the US military that occupies their land is also the world's largest polluter.
