The works above are from Department of Contemporary Art’s latest group exhibition Degrees, organized with Tampa’s Greater Public Studio. It explores the multiple uses of the word “degrees” including in climate change, education and history. Artists included in the exhibition- Blake Bailey, Anthony Freese, Jay Giroux, Joana Hila, Ryan Lagasse, Richard Martin, Julia Parrino, Alex Roberts, and Edgar Sanchez Cumbas.
About Degrees from the gallery’s website-
In this exhibition, we unravel the layers of meaning behind ‘Degrees’. From the nuanced shades of truth that shape our perceptions to the tangible degrees of temperature that influence our environment, the exhibition creates a dynamic dialogue between different dimensions of this concept.
Situated in a pivotal battleground state, the exhibition also contemplates the intricate relationship between degrees and the pressing issue of global warming. Delving into the political discourse, we examine how degrees of belief and denial intersect, particularly in the context of climate change debates.
Furthermore, the exhibition prompts contemplation on the notion of an art degree. What does it signify? How does it define one’s creative journey? These questions guide us through an exploration of artistic qualifications and the degrees of expertise they represent.
A journey through art history reveals the connection between degrees and lines, as we delve into the associations between angles, perspectives, and the progression of artistic movements. This collection invites you to ponder how degrees of inclination can shape artistic expression and historical narratives.
Join us in this immersive exhibition, where degrees of interpretation converge, offering a multi-dimensional encounter with the concept of ‘Degrees’.
Tomorrow (10/26/23) from 6-9pm is the last chance to see the show.

How about Blake Bailey from Lovelink?

So what's with all the poly relationships/threesomes popping up in the lovelink routes?
I generally prefer monogamous relationships, but,
I don't mind if it make sense with the route like with Blake/Keanu.
But Jonathan/Albert? Min-jae/..the other one (can't remember the alternate, ☠️). It was really jarring since there was no indication of Jonathan being interested in a three-way.
Can't I just have my soldier to myself!?😭😭😭
I wish they would have a very clear 'I'm not into that option' for people who aren't into it.
Or make a separate route that is clearly polygamous, not just add it on to existing routes.

Unpopular Greys Opinions
Jackson and April deserved a better storyline
April and Arizona didn't deserve to be written off. Their characters had more to offer
I wish Penny stayed. I really liked her character and I think she could have been explored more
Stephanie Edwards was the best resident after Cristina and deserved to be an attending
Leah Murphy shouldn't have done it to my baby Arizona but she had a point. It shouldn't have normalized attendings sleeping with residents
The whole Ben and Bailey storyline where he kills that mom and baby always makes me feel like crying. And it makes Bailey such a hypocrite.
Lexie and Mark are an epic love story because of their ending. If they were still alive, they would have ruined it like they did Arizona, Callie, Jackson, and April. In a way, their death was the best way to end their story.
Amelia had a sad life. But she can be annoying.
Mer, Maggie, Deluca, and Riggs just seemed icky. I know technically they all didn't overlap but it was very weird.
Maggie and Jackson were a complete NO (like why does Jackson get together with all Mer's sisters)
Maggie is such an interesting character. I wish they had introduced her early on. I wish she had met Lexie

Buck and Bucky wedding would be pure chaos I'm just saying.
Bucky would walk down the aisle to 20th Century Fox Fanfare, because he's Bucky.
Hambone, and Douglass would do drunk karaoke.
Brady would be the one crying the entire time and I mean the entire time.
Blakely would be trying to sleep with the groomsmen.
DeMarco snuck Meatball in, who ate everything.
Rosie would have the best speech ever.
Crosby would have a drunk speech.
Bubbles would embarrassingly dance around, making everyone question who invited him.
Curt would be spilling all the embarrassing stories, he definitely knocked down either the wedding cake or ice sculpture or both well screaming "I'm Irish" at the top of his lungs.
Dickie is trying to clean up Curts mess.
Quinn lost BabyFace, and Bailey within five seconds somehow.
Winks and Ken are just filming the entire thing.
Kidd and Harding are just old man dancing together.
Helen is wondering why she came.
Sandra and Marge are also questioning why the fuck they came.
Murphy and Fredkin are literally the most chill ones, but Murphy eventually gets so drunk that he starts taking off his clothes.
Smokey is making sure nobody gives themselves alcohol poisoning, he ends up herding everyone home like drunk cattle.
Stormy is just embarrassed to know these people.
Daniels, Jefferson, and Macon were dragged to this shingdig by DeMarco who said "It'd be fun." And fun was one way to describe it.
