I feel like Burnham fucked it a bit with the eclipse, '99 nostalgia, a ready-made communal experience sitting right there for symbolic appropriation. Local councils rigging up giant pinhole projection screens, mass procurement of eclipse specs, a free pair for the bridge every nose

Guy who makes a point of strolling round during the solar eclipse and ignoring it, snorting at people holding up their little Blue Peter contraptions, muttering "how much did you pay for those" at the few with proper ISO 12312-2 glasses, etc

Think deep history was a quiet place? Think again. From caves that act like natural amplifiers to ancient bone flutes, our ancestors lived in a loud, vibrant acoustic world. 🎸

This is who Israel murdered
There are literally hundreds if not thousands of sea turtles that were given a chance to survive thanks to Mona Khalil. She’s been doing this work for over two decades.

The illustration is a 'monotype' I made of an oil palm plantation. You make by applying oil-based ink to a plate of glass/ perspex/ whatever, wiping and scratching ink away to create the blank space, or applying more ink to add more dark bits. Then you press it onto paper to make a one-off print
