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’.

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. 👇

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.
HBO has declined to renew “Sesame Street” for new episodes. The series that’s been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio.

Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.

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.

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.

Wish You Were Here

This is a superb piece of opalised wood fossil from Indonesia featuring a naturally occurring beach and sea scene.
I made a sterling silver mount featuring seaweed and bubbles and finished the piece with citrine and topaz stones.

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)
