I believe we are ALL better off when EVERYONE has housing, healthcare, food, and education. If you're fond of punching down - especially when it comes to blaming voters/non-voters - you probably shouldn't follow me. Thanks! Sorry, can't afford to donate.

We should have a universal basic income, healthcare for all and treat EVERYONE with dignity and respect.

Once you have called disabled people a burden, you have facilitated the devaluation, dehumanization and death of disabled people.

Popped into Govan Old. The Pictish sarcophagus is looking great. I signed my books in their excellent gift shop. Perhaps pick up a Christmas present while helping @govanstones.bsky.social fundraising?

It's #WorldAnatomyDay, a good excuse to give a shout-out to Michael Sappol's brilliant 'Queer Anatomies: Aesthetics and Desire in the Anatomical Image, 1700-1900' (2024) and double take at some of the extraordinary images he discusses. 🤔 #queer #history #hstm #histmed @museumbums.bsky.social 🌈📚🗃️

Front cover of 'Queer Anatomies: Aesthetics and Desire in the Anatomical Image, 1700-1900' by Michael Sappol.

Anatomical illustration showing dissection of the perineum. The subject lies on his back, his hands and feet tied. Joseph Maclise, 'A Deeper Dissection of the Perineum, the Pudic Artery and the Artery of the Bulb are Shown,' from Richard Quain, The Anatomy of the Arteries of the Human Body (1841-1844).

The Square at Evening (Place le soir) https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/objects/47967

Pierre Bonnard's "The Square at Evening" captures the lively, shadowed ambiance of a bustling nighttime scene through dynamic brushwork and contrasting play of light and shadow. The artwork evokes the Impressionist fascination with urban life and fleeting moments, characterized by figures moving through softly illuminated paths against a moody, darkened backdrop.

The Zsolnay factory in Pécs has been producing porcelain since the mid-19th century. There is a museum displaying its wares from various periods. Egyptian motifs seem to be a recurring favourite.

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.
