There once was a mendacious monk,
Who promised the blind they’d see all with a thunk.
He swore heaven had called,
That the veils would be hauled,
Till truth left the cloister in a hunk.

A book bound in red cloth with gilt titles and decoration, turned so you can see the ragged cutting on the right edges of the pages

I was thinking about what gifts people used to give to readers (besides gift editions of famous poets' work and illustrated histories of wars and such), and while I was thinking about it, somebody brought a book to the counter....

The Artist Who Makes Clay Look Like Navels, Nipples and Vertebrae

Every time I encounter #MagdaleneOdundo’s work, in life or online, I am reminded how powerful quiet mastery can be. This is craft, intellect, and beauty in perfect balance.

Consensus was achieved in principle.

here:

in the afternoon the world loosened its collar
and spoke in a lower voice

dust settled where it belonged
keys stopped pretending to be lost
time leaned against the wall

nothing remarkable happened
which felt, suddenly, like mercy

An art movement built on ancestral wisdom "How are the children? How are the cattle? Is it raining?" Filmmaker Jackie Lebo discovered the meaning of this traditional greeting when she and nine other artists explored Turkana, an isolated part ...

An argument for art that remembers where it comes from with the brilliant #JackieLebo. Clear, grounded, and quietly political.

Hello December!

The press conference starts normally. "We've discovered humans expire," the scientist announces. "Die?" a reporter asks. "No. Expire. Like milk." She shows slides—timestamps appearing on newborns' feet. "Best by dates." The room erupts. I check my ankle. Last month. "What happens after expiration?" "You continue. Just... less fresh." She smiles apologetically. "Most of you expired years ago." I taste sour. Feel curdled. Everything makes sense. --- *Enjoyed today's story?

she ordered African violets
but when gangs arrived
with stylish masks and burning tires
she learned to regret the darker net
its secret fishing fleets

EV Explorers gear up to make history at Rhino charge with Kenya’s first electric off-roader “We are here to learn, inspire, and drive innovation"

Where tough terrain meets rough land, the unlikely result isn’t loud. It’s quiet, clean, and unstoppable.

At this year’s #RhinoCharge25, the #EVExplorers dared to imagine otherwise. We support them not just to race, but to reimagine movement.
