Norway has removed all of its $2tn Investment Fund from Israel linked banks, as it continues its policy of BDS against Israel. Well done Norway.

I find photographing flowers very uplifting. When I was younger, doing creative work helped me cope. These days it feels much lighter. (I guess it worked?) Passiflora 'Susan Brigham' under UV light.

Martin Lewis who died in obscurity in 1962 was a retired art teacher who had found some success in his early career, but was largely forgotten. He spent his last three decades teaching other people how to etch, including Edward Hopper. History chose Hopper, but Martin Lewis was his mentor.

Day 12 #spacetober_challenge is Roman Space Telescope so I made a new portrait of its namesake #astronomer Nancy Grace Roman (1925-2018), NASA’s 1st chief of astronomy throughout the 60s & 70s, who helped shape the space astronomy program. 👩🏼‍🔬🔭🎢🧪🐡 #histsci Nicknamed “mother of Hubble” for her role in

My linocut portrait of astronomer Nancy Grace Roman in a button down shirt, facing left at an angle to the plane of the image, holding a model of the AOSO satellite in her right hand and pointing at it with her left. She has short hair and glasses. Behind her is the night sky with Ursa Major above her head. Both the OAO satellite and Hubble Space Telescope are above her. Her shirt and black vertical stripes and is in a gradient of green to violet from right to left because its a stellar absorption spectrum.

How to defeat tech billionaire power? Look at Solano County. When billionaires invaded their community with plans to build a "tech utopia," Democrats AND Republicans banded together to fight back. In a triumph of local democracy, they stopped the project...for now. 🎁 www.wsj.com/us-news/sili...

Original artwork available in the @changelingart.bsky.social 'Cursed' auction. Because sometimes, there is nothing so terrible, so haunted, so cursed as one's own thoughts. 🥲 An older piece from 2017 which I've now titled, 'Thunderhead.' Ink on card, 112 × 230 mm. www.facebook.com/media/set?va...

Drawing in black ink of a red-crowned crane (a kind of self portrait) standing with one leg raised and its head tucked under its wing, with a huge mass of roiling, boiling, swirling storm clouds rising like a thought bubble from its head, looking at the same time almost like a kind of giant, fibrous, tumorous lump.

When a person in the Top 0.0001% spends $500,000, the equivalent relative financial impact for a person in the bottom 50% is to spend 51 cents. Extreme wealth enable the uber-rich to have outsized political influence and effectively disenfranchises 99.9999% of Americans. ihaveanidea.us/awi/

It is, today, 115 years since navy surgeon and Antarctic explorer George Murray Levick saw his first Adélie penguin, after which he wrote several pages of notes about their sexual habits, concluded “there seems to be no crime too low for these penguins”, and saw his findings suppressed for 97 years

Adelie penguins jumping onto an ice floe, c.1911. There are three in the main body of the picture. One appears to have just landed, one is landing, the third in mid-air. Photo by Levick, via Wikimedia Commons

The legendary Gideon Levy is correct it isn’t a conflict. The way that the West frames its imperialism, dilutes the brutality of its conquest. Yesterday the PM spoke of sanctioning Iran, why? Iran was minding its own fucking business until the United States and Israel decided to attack.

Fixtures and fittings.... Odds and sods.... I use these finds to bulk out the tumbler/polisher batches. Over the years I've probably found hundreds of thousands of fragments of metal, lost or discarded. And someone was responsible for originally designing and producing them.
