A wise shot of a crow with a broken top beak sitting on a traffic sign, with the moon behind it.
A few days old, but a decent shot of one of the regular crowbros on my walk, who waits on that sign every morning. Zoom in for some
cool details.
It would be great if the MAGA right could spend more time in therapy working out their daddy issues and less time working them out via the mechanisms of the US government. bsky.app/profile/seth...

And there is a lot of evidence that when a society decides to honor and promote art and artists, everyone who lives there is measurably happier.
Artists, I want you to hear this and embrace it: you're amazing. I love you and I want you to keep making art. Don't listen to anyone who tries to tell you it isn't as important and necessary as it is.

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
