Storm in the morning light
I feel, no more can I say
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right

Surely that ain't right

Exploring Francis Bacon’s Painting (1946), this essay traces how the suspended figure, carcasses, and spatial devices establish his postwar method, where flesh, perception, and history converge in a phenomenology of emergence and embodiment. #art #booksky

Villa Romana del Casale, located near Piazza Armerina in Sicily, is a Roman villa known for its exceptionally well-preserved mosaics. Built in the 4th c AD, it served as a luxurious residence and showcases intricate artwork depicting daily life, mythology, and animals. #mosaicmonday #eastcoastkin

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.

Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

The image shows detail from a floor mosaic of a brown mouse on a pale background facing left with its nose close to half a walnut in its shell. The mouse has a long thin tail stretched out behind. The mosaicist has used a mix of lighter and darker brown tiles for the mouse’s body to hint at fur. The walnut is created with warmer light and dark brown tiles. Slightly darker background tiles have been used beneath the mouse and walnut to create subtle shadows

An incredible story of a recent discovery: the duffle bag of 28-year-old Hector McDonald from Cape Breton, who died in action in 1944 during the Battle of Ravenna, where over 500 Canadian soldiers lost their lives.

Drawing from the original 1863 edition, this collection of Goya's 80 etchings powerfully condemns the horrors of war with its stark, chilling, and uncompromising imagery. Picked it up at the National Art Gallery in Ottawa. Nothing changes, war is Hell.

In the background a grey sky with the outline of a factory set against it, from which workers in blue engineering overalls emerge after a shift of work to head wherever they do in the time in-between.. The factory is a real place in the backstreets of Stoke town in Stoke-On-Trent, and the event is a memory of a scene I witnessed on one particular day of walking through the town.

Edward Burtynsky built a career photographing landscapes altered by human exploitation—hedgerows of disposed tires, sprawling oil refineries, pockmarked mountainsides. But he hasn’t given up on documenting the pristine, @andrewaoyama.bsky.social writes:

A few photos from a recent walk at the mine outside of Shawville QC. The earth is rich in iron ore, hence why it looks like a Mars #scape. Lots of tracks from dirt bikes that are, as the signs say, prohibited. Looks like fun!

The Carney Liberals want to remove the Empty Homes Tax - a measure aimed at investors to encourage them to put their units into the housing supply.
During a housing crisis, people need more homes, not a gift to investors to keep them empty.

Canada’s debt is modest, self-financed, and stable. Yet we are told to accept austerity as the “responsible” path forward. Deficit panic is really a strategy to limit what’s politically imaginable—universal services, public housing, and climate action.
The deficit is not an economic problem—it’s a political weapon
Mark Carney’s new budget exposes how Canada’s political class weaponizes the deficit to protect elites and justify austerity. Despite alarmist rhetoric, Canada’s debt is modest and self-financed. The ...
