I also love books and often buy books that I don’t read right away. I always end up feeling a bit guilty.

Amazing example of creative protest from DRC, where artists are drawing attention to poor government policies on recycling and waste disposal, through wild costumes and public performances. 🤩

Willis v Richardson: The ultimate beltway confection
