In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Today is November 20, which marks the start of the Mexican revolution in 1910. Francisco I. Madero launched a rebellion against the dictatorship of Don Porfirio Díaz, which was followed by a decade of violence and a new constitution.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

I didn’t take pictures because it was an art exhibit and I’m not a jerk, but here’s a piece that’s very much of the zeitgeist that I saw along Cicero Ave by Penny Pinch, a Chicago street artist who had a piece in the show.

Diego Rivera was a Mexican artist whose social criticism was so intense that US Rockefeller family once destroyed a great Rivera commissioned mural over ideological conflicts with the artist.
Rivera was great at depicting abuse+suffering of poor folks-caused by hedonistic rich+their military goons.
