This book descibes the origin and evolution of art and that art consists of relationships between people. It challenges the standard definitions of art

I wonder whether freeing Kevin Rudd from his Ambassadorship in the US will give him a voice against the repugnant pro-US rhetoric of the Albanese government?

We have reached the stage where it is lobby organisations like this which are principally responsible for attacks on their community. They call them antisemitic, but I think this is very different from the historical unmotivated antisemitism.

We should ignore such lobby groups

🇨🇦🇮🇷 Trump threatens to attack Iran because of the terrible killings happening there. Killings by Iranian authorities.There are terrible killings happening in America by authorities and Trump blames the people killed. Maybe he could care about American citizens.

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.

The struggle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Soon I’ll get to see my prof’s actual comments on my Jacob Cycle paper. I doubt I’ll write about the patriarchal narratives again any time soon, but it was fun doing folkloristics again! I got to use the word “mytheme,” so I’m happy.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Monumental engravings of humans, mammals, reptiles and more from the Orinoco basin.
The protection of this art is essential, and the Indigenous communities who feel a strong connection to the art are likely the best possible custodians.
