Lets not forget that Palestine is still undergoing a genocide. It's not gone away. The press has stopped talking about it and people are forgetting the horror of it all. That's how people become manipulated.

Saying the murders of Palestinian civilians are a "disproportionate" response to OCT 7 implies ANY civilian murders are justified.

Israeli attacks on Gaza since 2023 killed at least 73,795 people, wounded more than 174,800. More than 20,000 children killed, 44,000 injured. Thousands of children have lost limbs, while roughly 17,000 have been left unaccompanied or orphaned. The US is directly complicit.

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

@openspacer.bsky.social Tao of Glass phenomenal last night. Thought provoking. Moving. Humorous. A journey into artistic creation. Great musicians & amazing puppeteers. I loved that simple seeming materials assembled into animated images by clever puppetry and power of suggestion. Magic.

Today’s sketches. I haven’t quite got my travel kit right I think. These are Derwent inktense half pans, so stronger colour than watercolours and once dry can’t be lifted. Used both squirrel mop and waterbrush. I think I want a compact kit with space to make up proper washes. Well … blame the tools.

#art #painting I am very shortsighted. I painted a self portrait not wearing glasses, holding a mirror close with one hand, and applying paint at arm+brush length with the other, such that the developing image was a blur, and I applied paint by feel. kestrelartthelearninglog.uk/2026/06/17/e...

kestrelart.wordpress.com/2026/03/24/s... #art #painting Here is a self portrait built in oil paint taking its shape from the underlying textured painted ground, resulting is a heavily distorted version of my face. My family find it puzzling but it’s a painting I really see myself in.

Oil painting on orange textured ground of male presenting face in glasses and with beard, distorted by following the underlying texture.

Self portrait from odd angle. This alla prima oil painting was done on canvas as a learning exercise in February this year. The screen I worked from rested on the table, hence the foreshortened view of myself. Technical notes on kestrelart.wordpress.com/2026/03/11/s...

View from below, foreshortened oil painting of male-presenting figure in green sweatshirt and wearing glasses.

Reflections and ripples on the canal by the motorway bridge. Oil paint.

Bright sunlight is caught between two blocks of shadow on the concrete wall by the side of the canal. Ripples spread from a pebble thrown in the canal, distorting the reflected sunlight and graffiti.

@aptshadow.bsky.social I have just finished listening to Service Model. I really enjoyed it. The whole structure, dialogue, characterisation and many cultural references made me smile throughout, but to describe or give names to these would be to give spoilers. A really insightful & prophetic novel.

As a start, you can stop organizing conferences with organizations that are specifically used by university admin to repress student protest. And you can refuse to serve on panels with fascists who testify for book bans. C’mon, this is basic solidarity.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

Science and art are intrinsically connected. Quote this with your science art!

Pterosaurs reached astounding size and shape disparity throughout the Mesozoic (human to scale). From top to bottom, left to right: Quetzalcoatlus, Anurognathus, Rhamphorhynchus, Nyctosaurus, Dorygnathus, Jianchangnathus, Tupandactylus, Pterodactylus, Cycnorhamphus, Homo sapiens (not a pterosaur), Nemicolopterus (taxon validity debated), Jeholopterus.

The first ever known Pterosaur - Pterodactyl - was described (1784) decades before idea of Dinosaurs (1841) or even Palaeontology (1822) was even postulated. The holotype is an excellent fossil, here's my reconstruction of the first "officially known" pterosaur.

Tail vane of Rhamphorhynchus muensteri.

Robert Smalls (1839-1915), once enslaved, became a Civil War hero and politician. He seized the CSS Planter, freeing himself and others, and delivered it to the Union. Smalls later served in the South Carolina legislature and U.S. Congress, championing civil rights and education. #BlackHistory

Black-and-white portrait of Robert Smalls, a 19th-century African American politician, businessman, and former enslaved person. He is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and bow tie. His vest features a decorative chain. Smalls has short, curly hair and a beard, and he gazes slightly to the side with a composed expression. The background is plain.
