The Importance of the Arts

"I begin to long for some little language such as lovers use, broken words, inarticulate words, like the shuffling of feet on pavement." ― Virginia Woolf, ‘The Waves’ #BookSky #Books #Photography Pierre Jamet

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

This tiny device can shrink dangerous blood clots. It’s called the ‘milli-spinner’ and its invention was partly an accident…

Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation. MAGA will say "I voted for this"🤡

Miriam Margolyes OBE has a message for the Australian Government: ‘Never let it be said that Australia assisted in starving a nation to death.’

Instead of spending $368b on subs we could have: Funded dental care for all Australians, every yr for the next 40 yrs Or built 1,000,000 public homes – ending homelessness and easing rental stress. Or abolished all HECS debt and restored free uni education. Or … theaimn.net/where-does-t...

Oh god. We are beyond stuffed.

Time is running out.... "A new study by the UK’s Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), NOAA and Oregon State University’s Co-operative Institute for Marine Resources Studies found that ocean acidification’s “boundary” was also reached about five years ago." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has been pictured on a plane after Israel’s Foreign Ministry said they had deported her. Thunberg was one of 12 people on board the Madleen aid ship, which was seized by the military while attempting to breach Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

The Order of Australia has completely lost its value when a man that should be in prison for his abuse of power, corruption and lies is rewarded. #AusPol

We're walking right into it. No one appears to have any idea how to stop it. We know where it's headed. Martial law. The end of democracy. No more elections. A waking nightmare. I promise to amplify anyone offering legal, workable solutions. I haven't found any yet. And the left is leaderless.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

I’m just imagining the withering looks that Greta Thunberg is giving her Israeli captors, after they took her hostage. Only the far right Israeli regime would be stupid enough to engage in piracy & illegally arrest an international heroine. #FreeGreta

True story bro.

Mummy, daddy, and sisters are on their way home now ... excitement, and comfort soon.🐱🐱💕💕

I just watched Ocean with David Attenborough. If you can see this documentary, please do. It was heartbreaking but also demonstrated hope. This scene really moved me. You can almost see the fear & resignation in the shark's eye. Our fates are intertwined. We can change our future & we must.

I wish I could find images of the bruises my partner had the day after getting shot with "rubber" bullets. Bright purple rings the size of dinner plates. Just astonishing damage. The hematoma one of them left never healed. And that was fired from a distance of like 30 yards
