Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Ozymandias

Three things:
1. Israel doesn’t get to unilaterally ‘propose’ extensions of a ceasefire that it has repeatedly violated.
2. Netanyahu was already indicted for starvation. Here’s more of the clear starvation policy.
3. It’s the beginning of Ramadan, the cruelty is just so brazen and shameful.

Black and white illustration of the Old English folk ballad madama bedlam at the center of the composition there is a distressed looking Beverly man sticking his hand making his way through the world haltingly surrounded by devils and goblins but on his right hand a beautiful shining woman with a crescent moon on top of her head

Export to Europe? Know anyone who does – artists, designers, small businesses? There's a new Brexit bombshell coming 13 December and no-one seems to have been warned. It's called the General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR), and I've looked into it for @theneweuropean.bsky.social 🧵

♥️🫂 Good to see you here.

Did your parents control what you read as a child/teen? Mine did not, and my life was not ruined. I grew up to be an academic librarian.

Things of great importance are as follows without specific order:

Listening, learning, music, art, film, photography, literature, advocacy, architecture, and so on
