Sun is still well below the horizon here in Longyearbyen, Svalbard (won't be back until mid Feb) but ice crystals in the sky reflected back from the red spectrum yesterday. Just beautiful!

This image, Kelly Latimore's 'Christ in the Rubble,' made me stop my scrolling and take the time to reflect. It is all too easy to shut out the craziness of what is going on around the world. But we shouldn't forget quite so quickly. Here's to hoping we can effect change, small and large, next year!

Cardboard boxes make possible a global apparatus of commerce, consumption and reuse, displaying (& delivering) the fruits of capitalism while embodying its waste, inequity & exploitation. From @shannonmattern.bsky.social, on the social history of the cardboard box: placesjournal.org/article/soci...
