It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’. ‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.

It almost sounds like some Israeli is de facto running the US government.

Gaza is the most intensely bombed place on earth 💔

For day 17 of #ArtAdventCalendar, let’s go to the Oregon Coast, one of my favorite places in the world. BANDON DRIFTWOOD, 8x10”, watercolor on cotton paper.

"The Israeli army classified Mawasi as a humanitarian zone and directed Gaza's civilian population there. But despite its humanitarian classification, the IDF has never refrained from striking it, and the UN says attacks there have intensified recently." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Scotland is a proudly compassionate and welcoming nation who opened our arms to refugees. While the Tories this week chose to sow division, we choose humanity, dignity, and hope. These are our values, and this is who we are. 👇 youtube.com/shorts/rGs6X...

We’re close to losing Sesame Street, a show that was started to provide free educational media to marginalized kids in our country. That’s not an accident in my opinion and it’s just one more example of how Capitalism robs our society of the sweet and good things we build to care for one another.

I largely went to NYU American Studies bc of Andrew Ross, and tho he wasn’t my formal diss advisor, he has been my closest mentor & guide from that dept for a decade. He’s an intellectual & moral beacon for what it means to be a professor & I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Let's talk about power dynamics. Companies like Amazon, Apple, Meta and ABC News are not behaving "cowardly." Each of these businesses could swallow The Trump Organization whole. Rather, they see the incoming government as an ally and vehicle to increase revenue. Bravery and fear are irrelevant. 🧵

Day 15 of #ArtAdventCalendar. In honour of tonight’s full moon (known in December as the ‘Cold Moon’) I’m sharing this scraperboard piece. It was an experiment which first required me to ink the board with a brayer before adding more ink which I then scraped away to create the Silver Birches.

Another day another Israeli war crime: Israel hits Gaza hospital water tanks (they must have been... Hamas), kills 48 Palestinians in a day. Amnesty Int calls genocide Israel's ‘brazenly, continuously and with total impunity … unleashed hell’ in Gaza www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

This is evil. This, day after day, killing children, infants, mothers, daughter, husbands, brothers, sons, just for being, for breathing, for standing in the street, going to school, helping an elderly, doing laundry, giving birth. Real people die for a twisted dream of supremacy.

A few amazing facts by my book: Butterflies (pub. Bloomsbury). One of oldest fossil butterflies is from the I. Wight (UK). It is 34 million yrs old and amazingly you can see markings on its wings, which shows it is related to modern day Riodinids (Metalmarks). Photo: Nat Hist Museum, London (1/2)

Day 13 of #ArtAdventCalendar. Bit of a blast from the past with this one. It’s a coloured pencil drawing I did for my Dad many moons ago of a Red Kite in flight. It took me quite a long time - there’s a lot of pencil layers in there!

Waters Edge Series. acrylic on canvas #ArtAdventCalendar Day 12 I love painting these abstract ‘waterscapes’. Thin layers of acrylic wash give an ethereal effect. Gnarled & twisted reeds & roots dancing where a secret world of aquatic & terrestrial species thrive! #biodiversity #wetlands

Transitioning my #BirdArt era for #ArtAdventCalendar to actual avian works of art, starting with a close look at Blue Jay wing feathers. The blue color doesn't come from a pigment, but rather it is structural --- due to light-scattering microscopic particles in the feather. #birds #photography

Rabbi Arik Ascherman speaks frankly on Jewish settlers’ assault on the West Bank, and how extreme the dehumanization of Palestinians has become in Israel.

Discrimination comes with a horrible cost. One that too many people are willing to let others pay. Depending on who understands this, it can be used for good or evil.

There might be a war or 7 that didn't need to happen.
