The U.S. is…
withdrawing from the UN program to protect women and children from sexual violence during wars
slashing its contributions to peacekeeping and food aid
refusing to participate in a global review of its human rights practices buff.ly/Pjwii0i
US turns its back on global efforts for women and children terrorized by violence and conflict
The Trump administration’s move to withdraw the US from these organizations risks undercutting lasting peace and global human rights accountability.

Dog with Sausages, by Wilhelm Trübner.
1878.

People don't change, it's just that now we have cameras we get 9832948 photos of when we test/annoy our dogs, back then you had to go paint it, I hope the dog didn't have to sit too long ;)

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

An intrepid band of volunteers braved the rain today for Cornwall Butterfly Conservation's work party at Wheal Maid. We were removing encroaching Gorse, Sallow and Cotoneaster from a south-facing slope to restore the heathland for Grayling and Silver-studded Blues.

This close side view shows the tight fit for gunners who operated the dorsal gun turret of the Lockheed Hudson reconnaissance aircraft. Keith Henderson's preference in painting less well-represented subjects accounts for the arresting composition of this work from 1940.

'The Red Necklace.' (c1916) Ben Nicholson's paintings from this period are clearly affected by his father William Nicholson's work. In an interview he made sure people understood this: 'I owe a lot to my father, especially to his poetic idea and his still-life theme.'

The owner of West Looe Bookshop is one of the best. Super supportive of independent publishers and authors.
Please give her some support.
It's a bad day when an #independent #bookshop has zero takings.
If you are anywhere near West Looe in #Cornwall #Kernow tomorrow, and contemplating buying a book, maybe make that purchase at the West Looe Bookshop and help a lovely business bounce back. welcometolooe.com/shops/west-l...

By the 1930s, driven both by his experiences in WW1 and a sense of alienation from his artistic peers and critics, Christopher Nevinson sought out more conventionally picturesque subjects and London, especially the Thames, was a constant source of inspiration. This is from 1940.
