In a world saturated with images, learning to think about what we see is vitally important. ‘Letting art history become endangered and drift further into elite status is not only unfair, it’s also perilous,’ writes Helen Barrett
Art history is too important to be the preserve of the privileged
The subject is endangered at A level just as it couldn’t be more essential or universal. Helen Barrett makes the case for its survival in British schools

They have lost the plot entirely. Nevermind about the catastrophic collapse of the American tourist industry, this keeps expats and their families away from ever visiting the hellhole they're hellbent on creating.
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

In November 2023, a naturalist was exploring a local nature reserve near Kuala Lumpur. It's the last place you would expect to find a new #plant species. Yet, there it was, growing against the odds. The rare new plant is a type of fairy lantern.
