National Museum of Asian Art Announces First US Exhibition of Masterpieces from the Collection of Former Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-Hee The museum will show more than 200 items from the collection of former Samsung chairman Lee Kun-Hee, including a dozen national treasures.

I spoke to curator Sunwoo Hwang about a massive exhibition on Korean art at the National Museum of Asian Art in Washington, DC this fall, the logistics of choosing from more than 23,000 items in the Lee Kun-Hee collection, and the stories behind her favorite pieces: www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Angela Davis! Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor! Howard Zinn! Leanne Betasamosake Simpson! And oh yeah, lots of books by me!

"The sign said 'shepherd wanted'?"

"Yeah, but I must tell you we've had trouble with wolves..." The farmer looked up. And up. "Er. You're a dragon?"

"Is that a problem?"

"You won't eat the flock?"

"I wouldn't eat a hoard."

The farmer nodded. "That's the right attitude. But no sleeping on them!"

zmg, look at these happy little bebes.

I'm so happy for Mama African goose 💚

Quail-Bob and the Bobettes!!!

So sorry for your loss, what a great smile he has in the picture. He sounds like a wonderful character.

Just read (+ blurbed) the galleys of this book! It's 🌟🎉🪴🔥💕!! A thrilling, moving, heartening text, given shape through @dorothyjberry.bsky.social's + @wehere.bsky.social's clever play on bibliographic + bureaucratic form. Such a ✨ mix of protocol + improvisation. Can't wait to see this out in the 🌏

I own these 🔥

Why not both?

I had some banana related silliness on Friday 😅

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

The little exasperated paws!

Anyway, I made one, idk

Every time i have a banana. Pop culture has rotted my brain and i'm ok with that in this instance

Portfolio update : The Mirror of Pride
"She's been following me for several days; I only see her at dusk. She always stays about ten paces away. When I confront her, she claims to be my shadow. I then asked her if I was her light. She replied that I was confusing my pride with her patience."

Thank you! So proud of you as well.

This three-panel image captures NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s observational search for a planet around the nearest Sun-like star, Alpha Centauri A. The initial image shows the bright glare of Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, and the middle panel then shows the system with a coronagraphic mask placed over Alpha Centauri A to block its bright glare. However, the way the light bends around the edges of the coronagraph creates ripples of light in the surrounding space. The telescope’s optics (its mirrors and support structures) cause some light to interfere with itself, producing circular and spoke-like patterns. These complex light patterns, along with light from the nearby Alpha Centauri B, make it incredibly difficult to spot faint planets. In the panel at the right, astronomers have subtracted the known patterns (using reference images and algorithms) to clean up the image and reveal faint sources like the candidate planet.

After years of searching, astronomers have found strong evidence of a planet around Alpha Centauri, a near-twin of our Sun in the nearest neighboring star system.
This would also be the closest exoplanet ever observed directly. 🧪🔭

I was looking for a shopping cart 😅

😅

Two skeets with pelican images. Janet Hill's text is "Clear the runway! American White Pelican landing #birds" SoCal Leslie's text is "Good morning. Brown pelican take off 🪶"

My feed lined up nicely this morning. Did you coordinate @saskajanet.bsky.social and @socalleslie.bsky.social 😂

Archival research has found 171 confirmed deaths at Kuper Island residential school, 50 more than previously thought Archival research conducted on behalf of the Penelakut Tribe has found 50 more deaths at the former residential school than previous estimates

My thoughts today have been with the Penelakut Tribe, and Survivors of the Kuper Island Indian Residential School in BC, as the Nation released its interim report. Archival research alone has confirmed 50 additional deaths of children, bringing the total to 171: www.timescolonist.com/local-news/a...
