Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in local economic activity. Without SNAP, that will mean a loss of $15 billion to the US economy just in November alone.

Had the amazing privilege earlier in the year to watch a lithographic limestone plate be made by one last plate makers in Germany. Each plate is cut and then hammered by hand into shape - and after having a go it's very skilled work. Currently they have no apprentices, so a truly dying art.

at bare minimum we all have an audience of ONE. yourself. this is still a valid audience. a zero minute and zero seconds film, a movementless dance, a wordless speech. to stand in front of a crowd and say absolutely nothing carries weight too. ABSENCE has artistic power.

Another #Etruscan gem. This bust is a fragment of a statuette depicting the god Hermes (Turms) or the hero Perseus (Ferse), identified by the remains of wings emerging from either side of his head. Beautiful modeling, and quite a heavy jaw, with inlaid silver eyes. 🏺
