This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

If you love “William” the 🦛 hippo, then you already enjoy ancient Egyptian faience. This video from the V&A is a great overview of how to make faience amulets with Zahed Taj-Eddin. The use of Manganese Dioxide (for the blackish colorant) on the eyes is also quite cool.

If regulation of total production/consumption started with wasteful fast food and chain restaurants, impact could be far more effective than focusing on consumer products such as butcher or grocery store supplied meats. I have no idea how this would be legislated nor the power of opposing lobbies.

For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏

Stunning, this piece is alive with a sense of movement and suggests a thunderous sound.

Trump is only pulling back the curtain, all Western countries are culpable, not one is willing to fully address capitalism, extractive, exploitative policies. We fear losing our creature comforts and security in exchange for a way of life that honors the Earth.
